so between purposeful and manipulative lies intent.

a little less conversation

so hot showers in winter are miraculously idea-generative! must be something about the hot water molecules reacting with hair follicles that stimulate the brain and stuff. yeah i know i make complete sense.

anyway, 10 minutes in the cubicle, and i think it's at times easier to talk to strangers than to friends because of

1. reduced expectations

2. availability of fixed 'introductory' question sets

3. less pressure/obligation to stay in a conversation

4. fewer expected relationship repercussions ---> less self censorship

which then brings me to my favourite movie quote -

'why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bs in order to be comfortable? ...... That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the f up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.'

give it a go, and see how you do.

and of course, moral of the story. have a hot shower today!

one more from the 'theories in the shower' collection out soon, once i get down to drawing some circles.

the double edged sword, the mightiest of them all

the ego.

thought of the..

just think of any one friend, go back to when you first met him/her. come back to the present, how things are now. then go to the in-between, the entire in-between. and tell me you totally expected the way things are today. no chance.

and that's why maybe, just maybe, fate does exist.

guess who's back!

new-found motivation that may or may not last.
