Charlie Likes Sparkly Things

Have you ever met someone and known – instantly – that they were the same as you? Not in any physical sense, but more of an emotional or psychological sense? I refrain from saying spiritual, because there’s nothing spiritual about finding out that the other person loves video games as much (if not more so) than you. Anyway, have you ever met a kindred spirit?

It’s a weird sort of feeling, but it’s one monst geeks tend to share with one another. You see a person and you can tell straight away whether or not they enjoy Monty Python. I’m explaining this all wrong. It’s not a direct knowledge, but more of a sixth sense – an awareness.

It’s wonderful having someone to talk to about the things I love.

On another note, I’ve been having an odd feeling lately. While I’m daydreaming at work (which happens more often than I care to admit), I often think of marriage, or a partner-ship with someone. Someone I can hug and kiss and talk to and play video games with. A lovely fantasy, I know.

But, then I begin to think of dating, and my guts lurch and twist in knots. The thought of someone being attracted to me sickens me. I don’t want to go through the Wringer. I’d like to be assigned someone, please. Hold an omiai for me.

I would like to take this time to thank David Tennant’s eyebrows for their recent performance in the Doctor Who episiode “The Shakespeare Code” which just aired on Australian TV. Thank you.
