Day Eight || ugh why

[ltgmars]

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.

Two lists.

A. Personality:
1. Intellectual curiosity. You don't have to know everything (God knows I know jack shit), but you have to want to learn.
2. Passion. Passion for what you're doing with your life or what you want to do with your life, passion for some esoteric hobby, passion for me~.
3. Courtesy/politeness. There are plenty of people who are kind and caring toward their friends and their loved ones, but I really love it when someone is nice to strangers or random passersby, out of thinking about how other people feel, or even just out of habit. (I had a really pleasant exchange this morning after some jerks in a car bowled through an intersection while I was crossing and the little man was still telling me to walk. The next person at the intersection gave me a wry look that said, "Well, that was rude, huh?" and he smiled and waved me through, and it made me happy.)

B. Fetishes (applies to all genders):
1. Glasses. The right pair of glasses can make anyone look 10x more attractive.
2. Ties. Just the tiniest bit loose, or mid-loosen. Oh oh oh or when people loosen their ties with a finger and kind of turn their heads in the opposite direction OMGGG.
3. Nice hands with long fingers. For men, I also kind of like arm veins, unf.


Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.


RSVPed for a conference/workshop this weekend (Japanese Arts and Globalizations, for the UC schools) which seems like it'll be really interesting, but do I have time to go to everything? D: Just when I'm done with classes...

Commenting before I run off for work!

A. Best personality traits possible! :D Also, some drivers just shouldn't drive because they do shit like that. D:

B1. I need you to come and help me convince someone at work this. They went on, and on, about how glasses are attractive on no person at all, and they won't stop (I should mention, this is that one co-worker that I can't stand).

B2. What's your stance on bow ties?

B3. Nice hands are always a plus, especially with beautiful nails! Ah, and on the arm vein thing, they collapse nicely... That's a bit weird, isn't it? Oh high school bio teacher.

Re: Commenting before I run off for work!

A. I'm told drivers are really aggressive in LA, so I guess I just have to get used to it. But seriously, the little man said I could go! D:

B1. I WILL COME AND HELP CONVINCE THE MASSES. I don't understand how people don't like glasses. They accentuate the eyes and the nose and the cheekbones and ahhhh I was so happy when I had to get glasses, as you remember. XD Also, I don't know, if this is your "beloved" coworker, it might already be a lost cause.

B2. I think they're cute more than anything else. Bowties in a certain setting are definitely unf, and I like to wear bowties myself, but for the most part I associate them with a friend of mine whom I don't find particularly... "unfy". (Actually, thinking about it for a few minutes, I do think bowties can be very unfy, so I take that all back. Too lazy to delete... maybe I'm turning into you. XD)

B3. They... collapse nicely...? Okay. I just like to touch them. *_* Once I was on a plane next a guy who had the most luxurious arm veins. Basically I spent that entire plane ride either sleeping or sneaking glances at his arm.

Hope you had a good day at work!

Re: Commenting before I run off for work!

B1. You might be right there on the lost cause (also, she's so not talking to me, I just worked with her).

B2. :DDD YAY! Bowties for the win! (Ooo, influence without talking to everyday XD)

B3. The do though, I've done it to the ones in my feet and hands (somedays I have weird veins, well, my feet are everyday seeing as I have man feet and all XD), though it's really just stopping the blood flow and sending the remaining bits up so there is a flattened vein... It feels weird actually (seriously though, I never would have known this if it wasn't for my crazy British bio teacher from high school). Wow, that was a bit of a ramble. Anyways, arm veins are cool *insert thumbs up here*

Thank you. :) It was better than I thought it would be.

I've been reading, but I haven't been commenting much, so HI! HI! I'm reading. ♥ LOL

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Haha, hi! ♥ Commenting gets to be a big task sometimes, especially when school and other stuff gets in the way, but I'm glad you're back in the swing of things. :D

I disagree with the glasses, they just don't work on some faces...like my giant round one X(

And everyone in my family has glasses, so if I ever need them I'll be getting contacts!

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

False! There must be a good pair for you. Next time I'm up in Seattle, I'll come find you and we'll go to a glasses shop OMGGG best place in the world besides Staples.

Unnfff glasses shop then Staples with Akane... this sounds like the best trip ever.

WHY DOES EVERYBODY COOL LIVE IN SEATTLE

well. not everybody cool does. i don't, so.

[maishoku.livejournal.com]

Passion will always makes me think of PASSION FOR YOU. Oh Sakumoto. I totally agree with ties and loosen ties with a finger then turn their heads... ah. It's so unf. My eyes always goes to guys who wear shirts and ties. It's just... attractive to me haha. And polite guys are awesome. There aren't so many of them lately.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Sakumoto, haha, those kids. Guys who wear shirts and ties always look so nicely put together, you know? Even if it's a little casual. And politeness in general just makes my heart soar~

[honeypuffed.livejournal.com]

Simple courtesies are lost on so many people these days, it makes my heart SWELL WITH GLEE to see people be nice to strangers ;~;

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Right? I always try to be nice to strangers because I like it when strangers are nice to me, but most people are just too busy caught up in their own thing to be polite. :(

[svz-insanity.livejournal.com]

Agreed on all of A and B. :D

Ties. Just the tiniest bit loose, or mid-loosen. Oh oh oh or when people loosen their ties with a finger and kind of turn their heads in the opposite direction OMGGG.

Co-signed. I love guys in dress shirts + ties.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

So good, right? So goooood. *____*

i wasn't going to reply but . . .

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

applies to all genders

you know i adore you, but this is such an annoying thing to say. why do you continue to antagonise me?

01. there are only two genders. i know the 'all' was on purpose, you grammar nazi. but it's seriously just 'both'. it's a fact. i can't even--

02. ~*~heehee i can admit to being attracted to women as well~*~ stop it.

these are my turn-offs, goodnight.

p.s. 'japanese arts and globalisations'? girl, the japanese have never made any art worth sharing (i'm talking to you, mr and mr nara).

Re: i wasn't going to reply but . . .

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I know we disagree on the gender thing, but it's my LJ, so

dealwithit.gif

Also, I'm not pretending to be a super-ally who ~*~understands~*~ and is ~*~sexually attracted to women~*~, so I don't know what you've been huffing over lately. That shit annoys me, too, I promise. I just said that I find the female body aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, which is true.

you know how ohno feels about okama.

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

kristen and i had this conversation about gender last night, because she is working with some FtM trans people to teach them feminine speech patterns or whatever. and when i acted like . . . this is the stupidest waste of money and talent of all time she gave me a very 'i am disappoint' look for the rest of the night, and told me that she thought you ~*~changed me~*~, and that i am just ~*~ignorant~*~.

ugh you guys should get LGBTQI* pansexual third gender married (which almost sounds fun, actually).

you don't think the tentacles in tentacle porn count as a third gender?

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I never said you're ignorant. Kristen said that, maybe, but really, all it is is that you have your own beliefs -- which certainly aren't unfounded or irrational -- that I just happen to disagree with.

I think it'd be the best marriage ever. And since you obviously wouldn't be coming to the ceremony on principle, I suppose you can send us some votive candles in the mail, to pray for our third-gender loving souls.

Re: you don't think the tentacles in tentacle porn count as a third gender?

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

lol, no kristen did actually put on her concernsipated face and felt bad for my "ignorance".

and you trannys are not getting my votive candles, i just bought those! i want my house to smell like christmas, ok.

2. Ties. Just the tiniest bit loose, or mid-loosen. Oh oh oh or when people loosen their ties with a finger and kind of turn their heads in the opposite direction OMGGG.

OMG. I AM NOT ALONE. I CAN WATCH GIFS OF PEOPLE DOING NOTHING BUT THIS ALL DAY.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

IS THERE A TUMBLR FOR THIS?

THERE NEEDS TO BE A TUMBLR FOR THIS.

[wildhunter.livejournal.com]

I've been trying and failing to avoid the internet for the better part of awhile, hence only commenting now.
This made me smile.
And I quite agree with your thoughts on glasses.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Glasses are amazing. I love them like burning.
