Nyan! It's too cute! Stuffed Jerry Garcia... X3

I've got a vast collection of stuffed animals and dolls already. I don't really have many friends in real life. I suppose something about me scares them off. I'm six feet tall, weigh 180 lbs, and am pretty androgynous-looking; maybe that's it? Or maybe it's the fact that, in my spare time, for shits and giggles, I draw on my own clothing with Sharpie markers and write essays about Goddess spirituality. Does eccentricity frighten everyone away? Or maybe it's the fact that I use big words sometimes, like "spirituality", "eccentricity", "androgynous", and "superfluous."

Maybe it's a combination of all three.

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I like moving around so much. I don't really like hanging around inside or standing in one place too long. We've got to move around and take walks if we're together, you know? Most of the kids my age are pretty lethargic. Meanwhile, I get up at noon, make a four-to-six-mile hike up to the drugstore, buy a Fifth Avenue and ginger ale, then sit out front for a very long time watching people come in and out. Then I go back toward home, hang around the lake for a long time, dawdle, and wander in a random path around the neighborhood. I can't stand sitting around.

Which may be why I'm so obsessed with traveling, hitchhiking, and vagabonding. I was never very big on material possessions or big spending, I can't stand staying in one place more than a month, and I'd like to meet new people. (Yes, I know. "ZOMG UR GONNA GET KILLED OUT THERE!" I would like to point out that I exercise caution and common sense and don't take rides from people who say they're going "just up the road" or "wherever you're going." Only people with a definite destination and people who don't look all that threatening. Like nuns and shit.) I'd like to spread peace through example rather than talking. Well, both, really.

I can dream, right?
