After the inaugural post, I have come to the conclusion that my flist is composed predominantly of weirdoes. Then again, I should probably quit looking at my flist for a bright and shining example of normalcy.


The way I feel after manual labor. I am not in love with the actual act of lifting boxes or moving furniture or any of those manly things I'm so good at, but I feel strong and self-righteous after I've managed it. If you need help moving, I'm your man.


And on that merry note, it's bedtime.

Yay weirdoes. ♥ Freaks have more fun anyway. XD

"Freaks come in all shapes, sizes and colors/but what I like about freaks is they make the best lovers!" -- some '80s song whose artist I no longer remember, but I think the song is "The Freaks Come Out At Night" or words to that effect

WEIRDO RAAV, OMG. ♥

WELL YOU MADE ME THIS WAY. I was normal until you came prancing into my life over the Intarweb.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

OH WHATEVER. You came prancing into my life, if memory serves: "Hello, I'm a friend of teh Talyn and I was wondering if I could add you."

True, I guess it's my fault for letting you. XD

XD Normalcy is overrated anyway.

Mmm, manual labor! It does indeed give one a good feeling of accomplishment.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Puny normals. Soon, we will overrun them all. In the grand new Weird World, normals will be our slaves. XD

It does indeed! Nothing brings out teh testosterone like manual labor. :D

[tara]

I used to like the feeling of accomplishment I got after manual labour, too, back when I could actually do it. It's almost as good as making furniture and fixing cars, but not quite *g*

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I can actually kind of fix my car, or at least diagnose the trouble (or maybe that's just because I'm so used to the quirks and idiosyncrasies of my particular car).

I'm all about the Lumpenproletariat Vibe. :)

[tara]

My car fixing is limited to the basic stuff, like changing oil and windscreen wipers *g* But I've always wanted to do one of those "service your own car" courses.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

That would be way fun.

It would also be a bit like attaching a glowing neon sign to my back that said OMG MANLY DYKE *g*

[tara]

Well, here they're always doing "service your own car FOR WOMEN!!!11!!" which would be girliegirls, instead of manly dykes. Unfortunately, it would also be taught for people who are scared to check their oil in case they break a nail.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Or the kind of girls who show up in cute overalls, figuring that there might be a cute instructor, and then find that the instructor is a manly!dyke. ;)

Which to me would still be cute, albeit nobody I want to date.

[tara]

Yeah, I'd be more likely to become great chums with her than want to date her. Largely because grease under the fingernails is a big turnoff to me in either gender :)

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

OH NOES! Ourloveisevenmoredoomed ;)

[tara]

Or you could just clean under your nails :p

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I will have you know that my nails are TEH FLAWLESS, and will post photographic proof as soon as I a.) learn how to spell "photographic" properly and b.) get off my duff. ;)

My great-aunt, whom we think was a dyke, was a nurse during and after WWII and used to tell her students that the dirtiest part of your body is under your fingernails. I believe her.

[tara]

Oh yeah, I'd believe that too. Because no matter how fastidious most people are about hand washing, we tend only to use a nailbrush when we've been digging in the garden or something.

...and we can't actually use a nail brush at all atm because the puppy found ours and made it into one of his favourite toys *g*

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I don't think I even own a nail brush. I probably ought, but being me and therefore lazy, I don't seem able to be arsed over it. *g*

Dear God, what is he doing with it? Chewing on it, batting it around? ;)

[tara]

I don't often stick my hands in dirt, so therefore I tend not to worry too much about such things.

Both *g* I can't see why it's fun to chew when it's all bristley, but go figure!

Me?

[anjala.livejournal.com]

Weird? Crazy, yes! Weird...Ok, I'm that, too.

Re: Me?

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Here in l33's journal, there is weird enough for all. ^_- Besides, I like weirdoes; they we keep things interesting.

[ziggy-prime.livejournal.com]

I'm an undercover freak who wears a tie to work, all the while plotting evil. And lunch.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

You'd fit right in among the land-title community.

[ziggy-prime.livejournal.com]

Probably. But the probability that I would go nuts and attack my coworkers with various office tools would be quite high. I'll stick with IT.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh, we don't consider someone normal until they go nuts and attack their co-workers with various office tools. I once offered Jazzy a quarter to put her tongue in the electric stapler (she refused).

When I offered Randy a quarter to put his tongue in the electric stapler, he almost took me up on it.

True, with IT you can just hack people, or make the technologically-illiterate think that you're slowly using the radiation from the computer screen to change their/your DNA.

[ziggy-prime.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking along the lines of trying to holepunch someone to death.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

That could be a bit messy, though. Staple guns (http://www.playgroundlaw.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl?sid=4844), on the other hand, have distinct possibilities.

(No. No, I'm NOT jealous because I didn't think of it first.)
