Ask the Demon

[gesshoku]

Dearest Daemon,

First off, she *is* going to cut her hair, but only about to the middle of her back. That should be enough to stop the migranes. (In case anyone is wondering, its currently at the top of her ass.)

Secondly, black hair makes her look old. It doesn't match her complexion all that well, she knows casue she's done it. So... she's thinking a burgundy. Assuming she can talk you-know-who into it.

Thirdly, yes, you can be immature. But you are no worse off than some people your age. Hell, I'm 29 but most of the time I am lucky to behave like I'm 20.

And question...

How soon after a first visit should a second visit occur?

Forever yours,

Kasumi

 

[littleone77]

Do I sense a romance about?

 

[VandalHeart]

...Vandal, of all the people I have meant and seen on Lit, you are one of the least immature, or childish people. I could name so many but what little conversations we've had does not demostrate that to me.

And my question:

Why is it when you turn on a hotel heater it smells like scorched chicken feathers??

Um...that's an interesting way to put it, at the very least. Personally, I almost don't remember what the smell of burning chicken feathers is, since it's been so long since people have conducted sacrifices in my presence, let alone in my name.

But to answer your question, that's not chicken feathers, it's dust that gathered on the heating element.

So burnt dust has the odor of chicken feathers. Duely noted.

To explain why I know this...Growing up my parents would buy cute lil chicks, raise them and then one day wring their necks and dunk them head first into boiling hot water to get the feathers off.

I can still remember the screams and the smell.

First off, don't ask my opinion if you're going to reject it out of hand. If there are forbidden choices, at least give me the guidelines beforehand. Personally, I think green is an awesome hair color, but I didn't think you'd go for it. And I still think neon red highlights would change the complexion issue, but that's just me.

And the answer to your question is have the first visit, go back for one day, then return.

 

[VandalHeart]

Do I sense a romance about?

One can sense a romance about me at most times, milady. They cling to me quite often. Remember the words of the wise man:

Fall not in love, therefor...it will stick to your face.

Hello Lord Daemon,

I wasn't rejecting it out of hand my love, I am just not going to cut it ALL off. That way noone can hurt me!!!! Green is a good hair color, as is black with neon red, but I don't think my job would go for that!

What do you think of the burgundy?

Do I sense a romance about?

Yes, I will freely admit that I have romantic feelings and thoughts towards the Daemon. He is my dream, my hope, my desire, and someday, if I'm lucky, I will get to surrender to him, and he will make me his own.

We are a fluke of the universe.

When did I argue with the cutting of the hair? I didn't. Seriously, go look.

And the burgundy sounds good to me.

Okay Vandy, this may be a odd question to ask, so let me start with the back story before the question:


About a month ago, I had this guy come in who is super tall. Like, we're talking fucking 6'5! Anyway, he dresses up like Vincent Valentine from FFVIIAC ( not the original Vincent from VII), but all in black, so sort of like this:
http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs21/300W/i/2007/241/3/4/Vincent_Valentine_by_JereduLevenin.jpg
anyway, I work at a Independent Video Store, so have Anime (and Hentai) to rent out, so the guy comes up ( I was the only one behind the counter) and hands me four movies- all Hentai- all about Demon- raping virgin-like-tentacle-rape...you get the idea.

Now normally this doesn't scare me, not even creep me out... until this. I ask for his phone number, he mumbles it really quietly. I ask him to repeat it ( I couldn't hear him) and he screams it out. I apologize, and that's when I saw it- his password. Now, at my job, we're not like Blockbuster who has those cards. Each customer has to say their phone number and a password they get to pick- well his end's up being " Necrophiliac". I go silent, and I start processing his movies.

So, I tell him his movies are due back next Saturday, and he replies sarcastically to me, "Are you due back Saturday?" I say no. I ask him if he'd like some complimentary popcorn, he replies " Can I pop your corn?". I nearly die. So I turn around, bolt to the back room of our store, and hide for a few mins.

I calm myself down Vandy, before going back out. And to my surprise, Creepy Vincent-guy is in the lobby-outside of our store, what looks to be waiting for someone. I'm stuck- I have a customer waiting. I ignore, and help my customer in wait. When I ask them if they'd like popcorn, I notice, Creepy guy is watching me, staring at me. He does this for 10 MINUTES! But he doesn't come back in or anything, he stares. Before I could call the police ( during the 10 mins, I had customers in-between), he leaves. I tell Chronie later that night.

So two weeks past after this- no creepy guy, until finally, one day, I come in to check my schedule. And there he is. He watches me, checking me out as he's getting his movies checked out. I stay behind until he leaves, before going out too.

And then there's last night, I get stuck helping him again! This time, he walks in, and notices me. He lowers his scarf and smiles the whole time coming in, passing the counter, looking at me. I smile back- to be polite. He keeps walking til he reaches the hentai vault. He comes out after 15 mins, with his typical Hentai rentals of demon-rape. And he keeps smiling at me. We do the usual check-out thing. I avoid telling him when his movies are due or about popcorn, so he smiles more at me, and waves a little as he leaves the store.


Now my question is, Why is he so interested in creeping me out? Is he trying to tell me he likes me, and is too shy? is he getting pleasure from this? Should I overreact and call the cops?

Oh, come now!
Ye need not consult a demon on such matters.

He digs you, in his own creepy, cosplayer/smelly sort of way.

Just tell him you're spoken for.

That's strange, to say the least. However, before you go so far as to call the cops, you should just try telling the guy whether or not you are interested in the first place. A few facts you might want to consider, however.

First off, most people choose passwords that are fucking stupid. These dumb choices include the name of one's pet, the name of a character from the bible, or their children's birthday. Others pick passwords that they hate simply because no-one would ever guess that it would be their password. Necrophiliac isn't a very widely used word. He may have picked it just for it's rarity. The point is, you have no idea why he picked it. Hell, I used to have the word "Barbie" for my password. Do I seem like a very Barbie type of guy?

Actually, don't answer that, because I've endured enough ridicule over that password already.

Second, it really does sound as if he's just shy, if transfixed. Most people seem to immediately assume that others are annoying them out of malice. This is rarely true, especially between people who aren't on speaking terms outside of a business transaction. The cold reality of it is that most people don't have enough regard for other people's feelings or sensibilities to even notice if they're being obnoxious. What this means is, the guy may like you, and he may be creepy, but it's not because he likes creeping you out, rather because he can't figure out how to get on a first name basis with you and is forced by his subconscious to simply stare uncontrollably.

I did have a third point, but you already mentioned that the tentacle demon virgin rape hentai doesn't really bother you, and even then, I forgot who I was talking to for a moment, there.

HOWEVER. There is an exception. If his Vincent costume was actually intended to be a Vincent costume and it sucked, and/or he wears it every time you see him, go ahead and call the cops. Those kinds of people piss me off, and I love hearing about bad things happening to them.

 

[charmed1]

Asuming for a moment that isn't a veiled insult...which it may very well be, and a well-deserved one, at that....

Wishful thinking. It is a commonly tossed about phrase that youth is wasted on the young. Personally, I think that anyone who says that is just pissed off because someone younger than them isn't acting in line with their morals or whatnot. As for people actually being childish, I think it's the person in question wishing that they could get away with the bullshit their parents let them get away with when they were young without realizing that there is a wonderful invention called reality that they are stuck in, regardless of their feelings on the subject.

Now, if that was in fact a veiled comment about my personality (and hell, even if it isn't), I'm not going to do myself the injustice of trying to defend myself in the slightest. I know I'm immature. And quite frankly, I don't give a shit. My personality doesn't fit into a box, and therefor, some things aren't going to seem very mature. In some ways, I'm a kindergartener, while in others, I'm the old man at the top of the mountain that you go to seek whatever people seek from old wise men. So are you. No matter who's reading this, these statements hold true, I'm sure of it.

Not a veiled insult at all.

Back story:

I'm in the process of getting divorced. The ex is extremely childish and petty at times. I just don't understand it. I was having a bad day after having words with him and wondered if you had some insight as to why some grown people have tantrums like children.

Thank you for your time and view point. I'm going to think on what you said.

Hello Daemon,

I'm sorry. I was tired and misread the post. Please forgive me.

I have the opportunity to apply for a permanent position with the company I am currently temping for. Having discussed it with several people, who all have encouraged this, I have decided to apply for it.

My question is.. What happens if I don't get it? Would it be a mistake to attempt to apply for any other positions in the department, or should I not let a little setback discourage me so much.

Also, what happens if I do get it? How long can plans be put on hold so that I can get the security and knowledge I will need to seek out a new job in a new place? Is a year long enough? Should I try to put my future plans back more than that? Should I be planning that far in advance?

Thank you for whatever help you give in advance.

*hugs*

Yes, it is, and I'll tell you why.

Most guys have already tried the "Hey, I think you're cute," approach and been shot down. ABOMINABLY. Not just told that the feelings aren't returned, not just told they like the friendship, but humiliated. Utterly.

I swear to the gods, the shit people do to each other creates complexes that the same insitgators bitch about years and years after. Now, I'm not saying that you did this horrible thing, but someone likely DID do this to him. Besides, in a way, he already did try this approach. Remember? He wanted to know if he could pop your corn.

Sorry. That's kind of a button issue with me. Pardon the outburst. The guy still sounds creepy.

Anyone who voluntarily dresses like a Final Fantasy character deserves whatever comes to him.

I can only imagine what depths of human interpersonal hell drove him to his current level of insanity.

It's quite alright. I guess I just feel bad for the poor guy. I feel worse to say that 1. I don't return his affections and 2. I have CT! , however, this guy knows my weakness:

"I HAVE A HUGE NERDY CRUSH ON VINCENT VALENTINE!!!!!"

but then again, I could just get CT to do it for me *drools*



but how do I let him down lightly? Without crushing his feelings????

The answer is simple really:

He likes Vampires, and well, fuse that with his likeness for anime, and video games, he has decided that being Vincent is wickedly cool in his odd mind.

I dated a guy once who actually THOUGHT he was a vampire. I was going trough a goth stage at the time of us dating, so at first it was kind of cool....until he um... *turns red*

anyway, things went weird when he had this obsession with biting me. He said that "his kind" fed on people's energy in order to survive. I this it's a neurological thing. People get mixed up in fantasy and reality, which sometimes gets a little too out of hand.


Thank god Mr. Creepy Vincent guy doesn't know that I went to school for Funeral Directory

First off, love, if you don't get it, yes, you should apply for another job in that department. Having a bit of knowledge about your situation, you really need to get signed on as more than a temp, especially with your plans.

Second, no matter what happens, plans can be put on hold as long as they need to. There is no deadline. And you really do need to be able to put on your resume, "Time at last employment: 1 year." If you want to be able to walk into a city, hold up your hand and say, "I want a job," and have them running to hire you, that's what you need.

As for you future plans, you should always keep them tentative. you know what your eventual goal is, so don't give yourself a fixed and static path to get there. Just keep moving in that direction as much as you can without displacing those things that you know will help. So, there's no problem with planning that far ahead, but don't let your longterm future goals stop you from making a good descision about another part of your future.

Love you. Catch you laters.

Cleric, I do believe I am offended.

Firstly, remember, order and law is just chaos acting ordered and lawful.

Second, what's wrong with dressing up like a Final Fantasy character?

theres nothing wrong with it. There's something wrong when your dressed like a Final Fantasy character 24/7
