Oh jesus god! Not the fridge magnets again. I’ve been clean for a couple of months now. So irrestible. White fridge, pretty magnets. Gah.
Logan’s response has actually made me consider the question of Lexxian-specific boredom seriously, for the first time. Our various responses and coping mechanisms for boredom are probably all different. But I do think we share some traits in common as a specific community.
All indications to the contrary, I think Lexxians tend to be a mature, surprisingly intelligent and creative bunch. There are of course exceptions 😉 nudge nudge wink wink 🙄 🙄 . But for the most part the group seems to include a surprising number of people who have lived interesting or challenging lives. And that does not mean being a rocket scientist. Sometimes just trying to live on an authentic level without totally shutting down in mainstream society is an incredible challenge. If you can keep it real these days I figure you are some kind of super-hero.
Most Lexxians seem to be open-minded, tolerant and unique. In spite of reports to the contrary, there are loads of people out there who are not unique. The “everybody is unique” saying is just a pacifier to keep the mindless happy in their obedience. Same with “everybody is equal”. Giggle. So when you run into someone who is willing to be different, you know you are dealing with someone who has a fair amount of courage and inner strength, even if they don’t know it. And you thank whatever gods you to pray to for them because they are the type of people who save the species from being totally mundane and insane.
Woa. Getting heavy. The last week has been a pain in the ass because I have been ill and unable to do much. Normally I would have been assuaging my boredom by massaging the bored. Sad’s has been a treasure. I have also been hanging a bit at #lexx chat. Maya’s Trading Post has been a lot of fun and a couple of days ago I made my way to live journal and started a blog. I am amazed how Lexxians seem to be sprinkled everywhere and yet all connected like some giant web. Talk to one you have never met before and chances are they either know you or you know someone in common. Cool.
