You know what I hate? I hate when normal or slightly freaky people come up to me and try and tell me how they have friends who are like me. What the fuck does that mean you know? ::Insert Strongbad voice here:: I have some friends who are black.. What the fuck is that supposed to MEAN? SO like cool lets go shopping, Ill call you Sunday were like totally like tight now and shit. Who cares? I have friends who are like me too, cookies for everyone!!!!!

I always want to reply with Oh yeah? Do they think you are as much of a TOOL as I do? I just dont get it, I guess I should be flattered because they are obviously trying entirely too hard to suck up to me for absolutely no reason. So fucking weird though. It is like that www.blackpeoplelikeus.com except you could replace the black people with Goths and have most of the same shit apply. Why oh why do people do this?

I don't know that it is worth getting too upset over. Here is how I see it (not that it is the right way mind you, just my way)...

Whenever we first meet people we try and find a common ground. Something to connect on a personal level. This is just basic human communication. When a person is very much, by outward appearances, different from our norm we have to stretch a little bit further as we have no basis for a connection.

So in a way you should be flattered that they are trying to go to such lengths (and by how lame the comment they are stretching real far) to try and make a connection to you and try to maybe know you better. They find you interesting enough to try and stretch their little wings. Whether they are worth stretching back a little is up to you. You never know, they may be a real cool person down deep. Maybe they just need help figuring it out.

I do art shows at fetish clubs at times and without fail, someone will start telling me about their doodles. Any time I have done book signings I have heard how everyone "writes some" and maybe they could get it published too. For the longest time I was insulted by it like they were saying "Oh. . .if an animated chimp like you could do it. . .why can't I?" But I have come to a different conclusion. . .people see someone doing something or acting a way they wish they could act and they seek a commonality with that person in hopes of feeling more like they could be free of mind if they wanted too. . .like they aren't so trapped.

Course. . .they could be telling me that I am an animated chimp. . . .but I prefer to hope for the other. . .
