Today I looked at my Nobue avatar on MAL and thought that she looked unfamiliar. As though, perhaps, it was the first time I ever really saw her.
It's like looking at yourself in the mirror and wondering who is this stranger staring back at you. Do I know you? Or maybe I've forgotten you? Something like that.
But it's really hard to imagine you with another avatar. It's perceived as something static.
ReplyDeleteI've come to realise I'm very set in my ways. And I've had a lot of people say that they "see me" when they see that avatar.
DeleteBut meeting a stranger can also result in a wonderful experience. :3
ReplyDeleteHaha, you have a point there!
DeletePlease tell me you're referencing Sesame Street. Or am I a 20 year old woman with a 5 year old's mentality? [wubba wubba wubba and a doodly-do...]
ReplyDeleteDid the stranger leave a good impression, at least? Or did you feel an indifference toward her?
Yes, it is a reference to the song "Monster in the Mirror" from Sesame Street :)
DeleteI knew it! "Monster in the Mirror" was always my favorite song as a little girl, ha ha.
DeleteThank you for replying. I hope you continue writing for this blog. :)
