In My Mind

[jackofallgeeks]

A friend of mine earlier commented that I sounded like "Andy". Oddly enough, to quite a few, I AM "Andy," but that's besides the point. I guess what she was getting at is that I sounded more, what? Somber? Intellegent? Contemplative? Deep? Something along those lines. Then she resigned herself to the fact that this was just "me."

Well, I said it in the beginning, and I say it now, this is the inside of my head. I guess, in a sense, you hear me here the way I hear me, in my head that is. You get it? I'll be the first to admit that I'm not quite so..hmmm...'calm' isn't the word, but it's close enough, in person. I've been told by many, and I believe it to be true, that I'm kinda goofy. ^_^ I go for that, but at times I also attempt to sound 'intellegent' in the real world. Likely it doesn't come of quite as clear, but I digress. The point remains that I sit here (rather more like 'perch' really...) and I just type as the words come to mind, for the most part.

On a somber note (ironically ^_^) I read over The Letter, and I'm sad to say I sound to dam serious! I'm sure somewhere along the line I've been "myself" with Emily anyways, but I don't particularly like being so SERIOUS for so long. Ah well, I'm sure we've done enough together that she understands i'm not always like that. o.O I'm not even really sure of what I'm talking about anymore, I need sleep...

The truth is, Andrew, you're a conundrum. Plain and simple...or actually, not plain and simple at all. When people know you as a person, they see a cheerful, happy-go-lucky, slightly slow-on-the-uptake yet thoroughly fun to be with young man. But when you write, you come off as somebody who's much deeper than that, and I don't think that's a side many people see of you...or if they do, they don't take it seriously. I know I was prone to doing that when I first saw that side of you. I guess it's very Jungian in nature. ^_^ If I were still up on all the latest psychology, I could babble it with the best of them, but as it is, I'm sure I'm coming off as ridiculous to you...because, really, when you get to writing some of your deeper introspectives or general views on life, you make a lot of people, including me, sound terribly ridiculous. And that's a trait you share with Andy - you're just a lot less forthcoming about it (read: you're not quite the same brand of smart-ass ^_^). Sometimes I don't know quite what to say in the wake of your thoughts. You're just very special, Andrew, and I've been honored and blessed to have you call me one of your best friends these past few years.

Me? A Deep Thinker? Nah...

::Bilnk bilnk::

Gee...I really don't know what to say in respoinse to such amazing praise. ^_^

At least, I think it's praise...

What's "Jungian" anyways?

Hell, for that matter, what's a "Conundrum"? o.O;

Small words, Surichan, small words. ^_^

(Just FYI - current music: pure morning) ^_^

"Jungian" refers to psychologist Carl Jung, who proposed the theory that everyone has a "mask" that they wittingly or unwittingly put out to the world, and an inner self, or "shadow", that no one ever really sees, etc...it's really nifty, what he did. Someday, I'll find my old psych notes and tell you all about him.

"Conundrum" refers to a riddle between two things that seem to not make any sense when put together.

Okay, class, today's vocabulary lesson is offically over and done with! Rejoice! Go home now!

::waves:: Hiya, Rachel!!!

Did you ever show the stranger in yourself?

Ever hear the song "Stranger" by Billy Joel? Quite a good song, and matches this "Young-ian" thing quite well.

LOL You're mastery of vocabulary impresses me. I like precise langusage, and those are two very nice words. ^_^

Uh...no. But once I had a buh-neee...

Awwwww!! Such praise from my Bakabakashii! ^_^ Surely I am not worthy. ::blushies, runs off to play in the JoyGoo::

I rode....uhm, maybe not now....

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Ha! I say she's got nice vocabulary and she says she's not worthy, and yet she called me a conundrum and all that! ^_^ I should be the one hiding!

Loves ya, Resuri!

I agree. I agree. :-) I don't know Andy, I met him once, but everything about Andrew that you said, I agree. :-) We are lucky, aren't we?

Hey there Surichan. In case you don't know, this is Rachel. :-)

You know what? If someone else decides to post "Anonymously" I'm going to have a problem.

Anyoneofus

Uhm, actually, I think Claire's already posted anonymously, dear. I could be wrong, but....

LOL, alright. I pledge that when I, Claire, write, I will sign my name on the end just for you Rachel... And I also agree with the "feeling stupid after Andrew shares deep thoughts thing"... No matter how well developed my thesises are I can't seem to pull anything together when I feel it's my turn to reply... (shaking finger)Stop that Andrew! Shame on you!
And keep in mind that every once in a while it's good to be serious, especially with a topic like "The Letter of Doom" has(just kidding about the title, ne?).You do want her to take you seriously don't you? Just some food for thought...

Well, you know, Claire and Rachel, all you have to do if you're confused about who posted what is take a look at the IP address, which would be those "meaningless" numbers that are in place of your name when you post anonymously. Course, maybe I'm just too much of a technophile....signing your name works, too. ^_^

LOL You people are funny. OK, maybe I have my moments, but you'll notice that Leslie managed to have an equally, if not more so, post as me. Alot of what I say is meaningless, I just type what comes to mind and every now and again it looks pretty. ^_^

Hello there Claire! Nice to meet you! I, too, will sign my name. I did not realize there was another masqarading "Anonymous" Poster. :-) Someday, I may create a journal, and all this will be a lot easier. But right now... I'm just to lazy. :-)
