MOOP!

Stolen from Kat, in a letter she sent me, so disclaimer is that if this post suddenly dissapears, it's because she got peeved at me for stealing her words without permission. Although, in all truth, I doubt thats very likely to happen.

I love the little mysteries about you -- what do you smell like? How do you move? Etc.

There we go. Theres a defining part of online relationships as a whole. What *do* my online friends smell like. How *do* they move.

Damnit Kat, this was something I'd never thought about, ever, and now I'm going to spend entierly too much time obsessing about it. Bah! Bah I say!!

Because, oddly enough, body language does convay volumes. Yes, I can make up for it some by *sigh* and *grin* and *stretches out flirtatiously on the couch, beckoning with one hand for you to join me* and *pout* and all the others I use, but it's not the same. I don't blush online, or if I do, it tends to be for an entierly different set of reasons. Online, it's harder to climb onto the backs of couches, or scale the staircase without using the actual steps, or play gravitational dart ninjas (although Hyde seems to do a FINE job of that last one whenever he needs to think. H: Shush, you!)

And it's significantly harder to cuddle. Oh sure, *cuddles*. But that's just not it. That doesn't convay it at all. I've seen one very good cyber-cuddler (Oh, what a brilliant night that was!) and it's hard to do right.

And oddly, it's something that I tend to do a lot of. I'm a highly tactile person, I believe in hugs and cuddling and being close to people I like. It's a good feeling. Laps were, in fact, made for sitting on.

But the dynamic changes when the medium switches from the physical to the mental. And honestly? That's weird.

But even ignoring that.

How DO you lot move? Are you lot graceful? Do you fidgit, have trouble sitting still? Or do you not sit at all, but prefer to stay standing, or perhaps lie down when you talk? Are you like Chris, and full of energy, and bouncing on everything? Like Veronica, who nearly always has a slight undertone to her movements that brings to mind vixens and seductreses? Or are you like my brother, and try to move as little as possible in order to play games, but then, when we look at you, you're sitting there with your foot around your ear?

And scents, god. The way people smell doesn't tend to register with me, but there are a few boys who it just pings with me. Chris, for one, and Eric.

And that's odd to consider. It's something I never thought about, but like I said, I will spend hours obsessing on it.

And I think the only way to stop?

I better just meet some of you lot in person...

MOOP!

(((P.S: I have no clue how I smell. Hopefully niceish, but one never knows.
I move...mostly gracefully. A tad bit show-offish, especially when someone challenges my flexability. Clumsy at times, where I trip and fall over things. *shrugs* I hadn't thought about it that much.)))

(((Postpostscript: Yes, I know I haven't put the SORC101 lesson up yet. I'll get there. >.<)))
