This is Messed-Up and Awesome and Hilarious ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Vapor · 09-10-2008, 02:25 PM

I'm laughing at myself as I write this, because this is just plain out of the blue.

At High School, which I just started about a week ago, I'm seeing so many more people each day than before. And especially so many different kinds of people. Especially a bunch of punk-like people and oh so many people with with outlandish hair. It's like an entire Federation.

One girl amongst them I've began to like. Who has bloody crimson hair and the whole 30% goth look going on. And apparently a bit of a lack of conversational skills. But whatever! MOVING ON

the trope is that people hear a chorus of trumpeting angels or something when they see the Right Girl. Whenever I look at this girl, I hear Radiohead, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Primus and Incubus. What does it mean? Probably that I'm subconsciously attempting to subvert the trope and adapt it to the hipster/indie/punk atmosphere that is being exuded here. Which is remarkable, that The Feelings are powerful enough to subconsciously bring out an artsy/experimental/pretentious side in me (Even though it doesn't exactly lie dormant) without warning. Also discovered my own strange tastes. And you know what? It's awesome.

But unfortunately, I'm probably slightly too straight, normal-appearing for her. And have no guts. But this is a good experience for all intents and purposes. Once again, Awesome.

Talk to her

**Valigarmander** · 09-10-2008, 06:41 PM

Dude, go for it. At least walk up and say hi. You've got nothing to lose.

Panfan · 09-10-2008, 06:54 PM

If there were girls that made me play Radiohead in my head's radio, I'd go for it before you can say "Fake Plastic Trees"

It means your iPod's on shuffle.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

If she turns you down on the basis of being too "normal" then she's probably not worth the effort, anyway. I should know, I'm one of those "different" folks.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 09-11-2008, 10:15 PM

She could just as easily think she looks too "strange" for someone like you, too.

Don't let it bother you. If you get along well, it doesn't make any difference what clothes you wear and what colour you dye your hair.

***CaptHayfever*** · 09-12-2008, 12:02 AM

Doesn't matter what clothes you wear,
Doesn't matter how you dye your hair,
All that matters is if she loves you,
And you know that if you love her too,
What a wonderful world it could be.

Silly, but applicable. I'm actually being serious this time.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Vapor · 09-12-2008, 01:57 PM

Actually, I think she's at the moment getting it on with some dude whose head is half pink. Eh, too slow, too little. You could say this makes me feel a little...LET DOWN, HANGING AROUND, CRUSHED LIKE A BUG IN THE GROUND...

*ba-dum Pssshhh*

**Galefore** · 09-13-2008, 08:37 PM

You know? Using that song alone is enough to redeem anything you ever do in the future to me ever.

Have fun with that.

Panfan · 09-13-2008, 08:39 PM

Goddammit Vapor, you are awesome.

I want to be like you. Teach me your ways.

**Galefore** · 09-13-2008, 08:40 PM

Sorry.

Does this mean I have the permission to use unnecessary italics, Gale?

**Galefore** · 09-14-2008, 03:06 PM

No, those are still mine, kid.
