A kiss is not a covenant?

[drcuriosity]

When it comes down to it, it's all hepkitten's fault. No surprise there. ;-)

I never should have kissed the bitch.

Back in the old days, you could go to a club, dance to music, and find some cute guy or girl to take home with you. The only things you had to worry about were bacteria, bio-viruses and spurned ex-lovers subscribing you to political party spamlists. Now I've caught religion.

It's spreading. Hacked and piggybacked on my allergen suppressor nanites so that I can't flush 'em out of my system if I want to keep breathing. I fight for discomfort and disturbance against insidious serenity. I want to hold onto the tired, poor, real world around me would just be a happier place if - shit! Won't be long now. Never should have kissed the bitch. I feel like my soul is being raped into salvation.

My skin has started tingling, and almost can't feel the dirt. It's starting to feel like Earth instead. I want to sit on the table so I don't feel so connected, but my feet don't want to leave the ground. I can feel the people walking past this abandoned playground, and it hurts to see them so lonely.

It. Physically. Hurts.

I feel like kissing someone.

/me gives you 'da pash' ;P

[drcuriosity]

Ahhh, but is it The Pash of the Christ? ;-)

[ferw0l.livejournal.com]

'oh Christ yeah baby.. harder!!'

Then no worries ;)

Promises promises.

You can kiss me. I assure you that religion is one of the things you won't catch.

;-)

[drcuriosity]

What would I catch, then? The urge to visit Wellington more often, perhaps..?

Collision of Hep and Warren brainspace == win!

probably itches worse than chickenpox and leaves even worse scars.

[drcuriosity]

Aye. I also wonder how badly it blocks the sinuses, but that might just be because it's spring down here ;-) Hmm. Baptism by sneeze is a scary idea, too...

Your comment triggered bits of musical memory - you don't happen to like cellists and Industrial music, do you? If so, I recommend Knowledge Scars by Unwoman from San Francisco. She is nifty.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

very much so. *grinning* Care to friend? I think our brains match some.

[drcuriosity]

Certainly. I've no objections at all to having another interesting Vancouverite to hear from :-)

*perk*

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

you have others?

[drcuriosity]

One of my ex-coworkers was from thereabouts - he's a pretty cool guy. Also valerian, who I met while she was living in New Zealand, and who you might know from gothicbc, ars_gothica, corsetry... or probably any number of other places :-)

last seen at SinCity

She's friend of friends. This is a small city for those who go to Gothy things.

I figured there might be that kind of degree of separation - places get a lot smaller when certain subcultures come into play.

[insolent-angel.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic, I love it! Do you write often?

[drcuriosity]

Thanks :-) I've been writing a bit more just recently - hopefully I've come out of a slump and people can expect a bit more interesting stuff out of me in future. We shall have to see, no?

[catcom.livejournal.com]

Great writing there. Very cyber-punk and cool.

[drcuriosity]

It probably helps that I'm getting back into Evil-SR-GM mode, no? :-)

[catcom.livejournal.com]

That never hurts. You. :)

[slinka.livejournal.com]

Very clever. :)

[drcuriosity]

Thanks :-)

In some ways a counterpoint to your piece, where the little machines of the future are awaited in order to fix things. There's two sides (and an edge) to every coin, no?

[pinky-thebrain.livejournal.com]

heh
nice :)

i hope i didn't give that to sarah too... :/

[drcuriosity]

It is obviously the work of seitan ;-)

[lowkeyknight.livejournal.com]

[redwolf]

Terrifyingly beautiful. I loved it.

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

loverly :)

The bee's frickin knees. One of my Strange Machine favorites. Slightly reminscint of my namesake's story.

[drcuriosity]

Glad you liked it. Nice username :-)
