089: Ponderings

I just...

I sort of told someone...

I kind of...

... said I felt beautiful.

That's so... so very new to me.

It sort of feels wrong, but at the same time... I did. I felt kind of beautiful and important and special.

I don't quite know what to do with that.

Well I'm glad you can see that. Who were you talking to when you had this revelation?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Chuck Bass.

He calls me his solace sometimes and I told him I liked the way it sounded.

And then he just smiled at me and then I realized I'd said how it made me feel and it did.

I'm glad he makes you feel that way, Rain. And I can see why he'd say something like that.

I don't know if he makes me feel like that.

Really? Why?

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're a very...serene person to be around, someone with whom one can take a step back and not worry about the world so much.

A lot of people say I make them feel calm.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
And many people find solace in calm.

Huh.

I guess that makes sense then.

Chuck always says lots of silly things, so I'm never quite sure if he means them. Well, means them seriously, you know.

Do you think he's often kidding you?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
He calls me a Goddess, Romana. Of course, I do!

Men can be quite fond of hyperbole, can't they?

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It means...statements that aren't to be taken literally, exaggeration, often wildly so - but generally with a grain of truth.

For example...calling a person as tall as the tallest tree in the forest.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes. He does lots of that. Though I'm not sure about the grain of truth!

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, there are a number of myths that deal with Deities that prefer the outdoors, tell stories, and make people feel calm. You've told me of one or two yourself.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not any kind of Goddess, Romana.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I think he's just used to saying flattering things to women.

But I don't mind.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Nor should you. It's no more or less ridiculous than some of the things I've heard come out of Tony's mouth.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Does that mean he doesn't really mean the things he says?

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
No, he just doesn't mean exactly what he says.

It's like...well like the difference between waving at a person and jumping up and down and shouting. Both are generally sufficient to get a person's attention, but the latter makes more of an impact.

It's still a compliment, in other words. He's quite fond of you.
