Ahh the morning after cool down
God I love holidays; an extra day to get lazy after spending a busy weekend with friends. I have recently mentioned to Shaman Princess that at times I feel like a vampire. I feed off of the upbeat times and energy of others. Not sure why but I seem to get more excited and energetic while my friends wind down.
Yesterday I hung out all day with Jeremey watching the downhill racers. I got some really cool pictures of the racers gapping some double jumps and catching some nice air time. Then I invited him and his girlfriend Kelly to join me for a night camp fire where I had the EVIL crew and family making smores. By the time 10 'o clock rolled around Jeremey was falling asleep and I could see Kelly was getting tired too. Of course I had feed off of all the excitement during the day and was still all excited and ready to go.
The way I am built emotionally means that in any activity I start slow. I need time to sit in the shadows and watch those around me. I need to get the feeling for the energy in the air and gather an understanding of what type of feelings, level of excitement, and happiness will be generated. Then I slowly emerge from my shell and take on the traits of that environment and slowly let the motions, sounds, and feelings fill me. Once I am in that immersive state then my own fire begins to be lit by those around me and my energy levels increase to a crescendo that always seems to build as others are cooling down.
I think this is one of the reasons why I was such a bad rave kid way back in the day. As others were enjoying the body buzz, I was pushing to go visit the fountain on Crescent Bay to go watch the sun come up and play in the water.
I don't believe me feeding off of the energy of others depletes them in any way. It is like fire, by lighting a second candle you only end with more light and the original flame is not decreased. I think that I am one of the few that feeds off of this excitement of others though and so that means when those around me have burned out I have only gotten brighter and more excited. This emotional state makes me seems like a spaz as everyone is ready for bed or endings and I am ready to strip off all my clothes and run naked through the streets.
