My life has been all about living vicariously through other people--mostly people I do not know. I hate myself for it, but it's nothing I can help--I was raised to become the next great athlete, businessman or movie star. Nobody's ever raised to be themselves, hell no. How do I compare to someone making a ton of money or becoming really famous? Not very well. I can start with the obvious. I'm ...
... upset you.” “I know that.” This time when his feet carried him to Chekov’s side, he let them, and gave in to the urge to put a hand on the kid’s shoulder and draw some kind ofvicarious strength from the wiry muscle he could feel under the familiar cotton of the scrubs he was wearing. “I haven’t told anyone about her.” Chekov angled his face to rub his cheek against Leonard’s hand, in a gesture...
I was lucky enough to chat with Ricky a bit this morning over aim. He sounded content, and it made me feel good to hear it. Well, good meaning better than the pit I've been in this week. So how's this for me being selfish: what are you happy about? Has anything gone particularly well lately? I think if I can get some inertia from other people's optimism and/or success I might be able to focus ...
...jumper the shop offered. She was close. This time it was a dress. Picking clothes for Hannah fascinated Megan. It was so much more interesting than choosing her own, coming as it did with a little vicarious thrill-seeking, because even the most boring jumper that lay flat on Susan or Megan in a neat little v took on a new identity full of cleavage and curves when Hannah wore it. "Besides I don...
... us want to do - I mean, fuck, 4 months in Italy? Eating? And it's hard to really fuck up a narrative like that - I went and ate and then meditated, and then it was all better! Her salvation is a vicarious salvation for us, the work and pain she endures is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the reader; you can skip it - you read about it. On the one hand, she's pulled together an amazing, wise, and ...
I sign up to shopping websites all the time for the vicarious window-shopping thrills. Some things like harem pants (dear gods WHY?) I point and laugh at. Some things I wouldn't buy even if I had the money. And some things are very gorgeous yet are ridiculously priced. Like these 'bird cage' shoes . Hawt. Damn hawt. But there's no way I'd ever pay $500+ for them. ... well... maybe if I won lotto...
... the millenniumushered in a huge surge of garbage catering to the growing "otaku subculture" via shows rife with lolicon/moe tropes, casts that were invariably schoolchildren, blushing virgins built for the vicarious experience of the pathetic. It was stuff like this that disgusted me enough to stop watching anime for a few years. I could no longer overlook all the tripe drowning out the handful ...

... blessed to have drawn this day off. She watched mothers wrangling small children, and tried to ignore the jealous pang in her heart. Perhaps that was another reason to buy for Henry and Jack- vicarious living. Most people looked stressed, the threat of not getting the right presents (or presents at all) under the trees driving them through the mall like small tornados. There were a few people, ...
