After a week of being stunned, then a week of being miserable, I've shaken everything off and now I'm restless. I need adventure. I've already been running, and a friend and I set up a scene with plastic cowboys and indians, sticks, and leaves on top of this girl's car, so mischief has been done. No good. Still restless. Usually sources of adventure are out, as there is no one harmless to flirt with, the shops are closed, I don't have a dance partner, and I'm too broke for plane ticket shopping.

Ideas?

No good. Already did the cowboys and indians scene on someone's car in that spirit.

And I did it with the only friend who has a house.

You know, the hair thing actually occurred to me. I've done that before though.

Taalcon - you're on. [Frown] You're ignoring me?

I need to clear up the definition of "harmless" as there seems to be some confusion. No one that likes me, no one whom I like, no ice cream. Harmless. *sigh*

Why not ask someone out for a date? Someone you only casually know. Then you get the opportunity of getting to know them better, even if it's just as friends.

You wild woman, you. [Cool]

Actually, it sounds like an excellent use of time. Me, I spent my night evaluating a kid who was "sneezing 100 times an hour" (yet who never sneezed in front of me), sneaking handfuls of Kix, and watching old episodes of "What's My Line" on a grainy black & white TV set.

Whoohoo. [Big Grin]

That does sound like fun. If I could have gone off as a knight-in-arms or a rescuing angel, I would have. You know, it really is hard to find adventure at midnight when you've already pranked your friends and sneaked through the rich area downtown. I got an e-mail this morning that the cowboys-and-indians scene was a success. My friend went up miles in my estimation for being willing to go on the adventure with me. My other friend lost cool points for mumbling something about needing to study for his exam the next day. *sigh* Med students. [Wink]

Book, I set new standards for the limits of excitement.

katharina, I was quite impressed by the action figure drama. You are quite creative. Did you take pictures? (and if you didn't, why the heaven not? [Mad] [Wink] )

Would it be wrong for me to modify someone's bumper sticker from "Who is John Galt?" to "Who is John Salt?" using high-quality enamels and an unerring eye for staying in the lines?

I think it would be wrong, but the desire has been mounting steadily over the last year and a half. I just want to see how long it would take him to recognize the change.

*itchy

Because, you know, "G" could easily be modified to "S," as they both are kind of curvy.

I won't touch the "A is A" sticker, though. Tautologies are cool, even if pointless. Rigorous logic raises the spirits like a good, bracing, glacial wind.

MMMMmmm, brrr!

John Galt
John Salt

Do it. That's a great idea!

I got this e-mail this morning, so I'm hoping pictures exist.
quote:
I got to watch as Allyson discovered her car this morning. I had snuck
around back to take a picture in the dalyight when the garage door opened.
Hiding around the corner I listened as Blaire and Allyson scoped out the
scene. They loved it. It was so hilarious. Eventually Blaire caught sight of
me and I admitted to being a part of the cause. We took some photos. It was
a great moment.

I'm still a little restless, but I'm going to Houston this weekend to see my aunt and Ophelia. Maybe Ophelia has ideas...

CT, it would most definitely be wrong, which is precisely why you should absolutely, without question, do it at the first availible opportunity.

The Digital Man, I have spent more than a full year working myself up into a high state of excitement over this. We park next to this car fairly regularly, and I always try to covertly scan its back bumper without being noticed.

I don't think I've been caught looking.

I do think I could modify it both quickly and discreetly.

However, I am concerned that he might not be able to get a replacement bumper sticker, and I don't want him to feel persecuted for his philosopho-religious beliefs. Perhaps if I were to locate another copy of the bumper sticker online, and then include a copy of the URL along with a "Go, Ayn!" notecard in an attached envelope, I could assauge my concerns.

This dithering is like to kill me. It is glorious.

Hmmm... perhaps you could find the bumper sticker in advance? he had to get it somewhere...

TDM is an acceptible abbreviation, BTW, and not to worry, this is merely temporary... I just registered from work and sent the password to my home address by mistake. I shall hereafter be "Jim-Me"

yes, I know, goofy, but I'm a goofy guy and returning to my less-somber roots.

You should have an ethnic dinner party, complete with decorations and music... and costumes! I'd suggest Lebanese, but you can always start out with something mild like German and build to Lebanese.

One of my clever friends took some masking tape and electrical tape and changed a guy's liscence plate from NETKID to NEKKID.

He's like a role model to me.

CT - if the John Galt bumper sticker is something you need to do, buy one yourself, modify it at your leisure, and scotch tape it over the real one.

Effect achieved, no harm done.
