10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]
['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.
Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.
Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'
...and so:]
So I found this in a book the other day.
Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

No way! Don't tell me you're the kind of person who would rip someone off like that!

...Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder how much stuff like that happens in my world. I mean, there are always movies and TV shows about things like art heists and big time scams.
[Not that those are anything like what they were talking about, but...]
no subject
[no sympathy towards modern art, this one.]

[Suddenly realizing she's an example of that.]
S-So, I guess some people are just weird no matter how much money they've got, huh?!
no subject
Yeah. I mean, my name's a little weird. And what about yours?
no subject
C-Come on! It's not that weird is it?!
[She knows it is, but...]

[Though she recalls a certain conversation she had a while back...]
Maybe I really should just pick a different name.
no subject
Well, I kinda like your name. But what would you change it to?
no subject
I'd definitely go with Pauline! What do you think? Isn't it cute?
no subject
Hmm... Well, it'd take some getting used to, but it's not a bad name.
no subject
Oh, but...most people already know my name. I wish I would have thought of this when I got here...!
no subject
no subject
That's just weird.
[Because just changing your name out of nowhere is totally normal, right?]
no subject
--But just deciding to change your name wouldn't be?
no subject
Besides, people change their names all the time, right? Like when an actor changes his name to one that sounds better so he'll have a cool name for people to remember when he finally gets in a movie!

Me? Acting? Come on! As if! I mean, I could never get up in front of a camera like that, know a ton of people will see i-
