I'm a lurker. I follow interesting folks, I read, I learn. occasionally I even have something to say. but I hardly ever interact with anyone.

mastodon has been great because it has given me a window into a community I didn't know I needed, and given me a lot of food for thought, but I can't say I've really made any friends here, and it's probably my fault

I wish I weren't so bad at making friends

@kellerfuchs @noiob

that seems to be a common shortcut for writing "genius" characters: character jumps to wild conclusions on scanty evidence and turns out to be right

it only works because the author is in complete control of the story world, and so gets to declare that the character is right in-universe, even if it makes no sense

another example that comes to mind is Artemis Fowl

@lizardsquid people say storage is cheap, but I've never had a hard drive I haven't filled to capacity one way or another shortly after acquiring it

or maybe that's not it at all. maybe I'm just giddy that for the first time ever I'm starting to piece together a look that hasn't been prescribed to me

I want to enjoy what I'm wearing

clothing to me has always been less "I look / feel great in this" and more "well, I'm not naked now"

until recently I had never put a whole lot of thought into my appearance

my position has always been "I don't care how I look / I don't care what other people think about me"

that's still true to some extent, but I think what's changed is that I've started to care about how *I* feel about how I look

shopping for clothes for pleasure is kind of a new experience for me

self-actualization is some good shit
