user topic #1: quirkyalones

lemons two.jpg

quirkyalones, or "quickyalones" when derided by couplers, are my kind of peeps. steeped in a dark-brew of hearty individualism (capable of even putting hair on my chest), these modern anti-heros snub their solitary nostrils at society's irrational fear of rejection.

why? it's a delicate swatch of idealism, perfectionism and cockynessm pulled taut over the sadistic cannon of anti-hedonic tendencies with a chaser of moderate-to-low self-esteem.

in another words, why hold hands when you can write a poem? why make banal dinner conversation, when you can make an audience laugh? why steal bases when you could watch beakman's world... get your ham radio license... bake croissants... embrace unfettered possibility.

To the ellipsisized list you may add: pen your own sitcom, perform onstage in New York City, pilot an airplane.

I could also add scuba diving, making pottery and dressing in women's clothing... but who's counting?

Aloneness Badly Remembered

We all should hold more hands,
I know I have it in my glands.
But aloof like Greta I intone
"I vant to be in my own zone."
