I should make it clear that I was joking about the suckiness of my mother, in the last post I made.  In fact, I am grateful that she makes me go out.  I have barely left my apartment in ten years.  I went on two trips to Stanley Park, once or twice to Metrotown, and once to New Westminster, where I got bitten by a dog belonging to some guy I was dating.  I also went on a blind date in Victoria, which was creepy, and genuinely did suck.  And I had passport photos taken, three or four years ago.  That was the last time I went more than four blocks from home.  But I have promised to show up for WonderCon this April, and somehow, I have to get used to not being at home.  (I used to only like being in certain parts of my home, not even my whole home, which is just a one-bedroom flat.  So being out in the neighbourhood is progress.  Ha, ha!)

I sent Mother some photos of my neighbourhood in the dark (taken at 6:30PM--although it was dark, it wasn't dangerous to be out.  I was not wandering about in the middle of the night), to show her how scary it is.  She did not agree with me, and told me to suck it up!


There was some creepster in the lift, with an iPod.  He looked like Emperor Palpatine.  No, wait--that was me, AGAIN.


This tree was totally out to get me.  I could feel it sucking my brain.


An old lady, walking near the waterfront, was really giving me the eye.  I think she wanted to push me under the wharf.  She was probably in the Mob.


These branches were like..."I'm going to poke your eye."


Another pointy tree, on Moberly Road.


This waterfront restaurant is TOTALLY a hangout for gangsters and pervs.  (Actually, I heard it's pretty good, but I've never been inside.)


Aliens are beaming up a sign, on Moberly Road.


It's dark.  Really dark.


I walked in the dark for about twenty minutes, and stubbed my toe twice.

Well well ... since you love birdwatching, and since (I suppose) there aren't that many birds IN your home, isn't that motivation enough to go into the wild and frightening "OUTSIDE" ?
I hope so. Because, mind you, this is where inspiration lies, isn't it ?

Best wishes,

It's hard not to type "awwww, cute" and give you the electronic equivalent of a pat on the head. But seriously, the first step is actually WANTING to get out. I was reluctant to do anything with myself for a long time.

Ha, ha...well, I don't object to electronic pats on the head. And, yeah, wanting to be out there does help. Man, I've GOT to be out there! It's almost Wondercon time, already, and I neeeeeeeed to be there (and preferably not by the skin of my teeth, sitting there wishing I could download a teleport app on my iPod, to take me back home). :-D

I suppose that is the closest we'll come to an actual photo of the elusive you! ;)

There are a bunch of photos of me on my Flickr, actually. Well, they are pretty old, but they convey the general idea. I'm Big Fat Rat on Flickr. :-)
