Does anyone have any tips on how to drown out obnoxious twinkling? Especially the judgmental twinkling. It makes it very difficult to work.

	Yea, that's the best way to describe it. She doesn't like me very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't realize a twinkle could be judgmental. Who talks that way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's [...] just what I interpret it as. She can be very vocal sometimes though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't say I'm jealous. Am I allowed to ask who it is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're allowed. Her name's Tinker Bell. She's a fairy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tinker Bell? Seriously? As in Peter Pan's irritating little friend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's not always irritating, but yes, she's Peter Pan's fairy friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really am not jealous now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's not very comforting. Who've you got in your head then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Comfort is not something I excel at. At the risk of sounding like a hipster, I don't think you'd recognize him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure you could, if you tried. It's not so bad. Unless he's a movie character, probably not. I don't read much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have tried. And failed. Why on earth not? Movies barely even begin to capture any of the essence of a book, much less create anything worthwhile on their own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe you just need the right person? I don't really have a lot of time to read if it's not my textbooks and even those I don't read. Movies are shorter too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The right person to comfort? I doubt it. And people wonder why literacy is becoming so rare in this country. Textbooks I can't recommend reading, but you could at least try to get in one novel every so often, even if it's shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-06 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Or the right person to show you how? It's definitely a skill. Maybe you just need practice. It's just rare in certain groups. Kids who grew up not needing to work all the time read a lot more than I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The world is full of empathetic, soft-hearted people willing to lend a shoulder. I'd rather stand in opposition, just to be contrary. You seriously never had time to read as a child? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-06 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	The world is just as full of cold hard people who would rather walk past you on the street. I read in school, and when my mother was away, but as soon as I was old enough to start working, reading for fun wasn't a big priority. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmazandaran 2012-03-07 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Yes. And I'm one of them. Sympathy just doesn't come easily to me. How old was old enough to start working? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should at least learn to fake it. Umm, well I started taking care of myself when I was 8. I babysat for some of my mom's friends when I was like...12. I started real work at 18. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmazandaran 2012-03-07 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Can't. Won't bother. So you haven't read for leisure since you were eight. What a depressing thought. To get back to where we started, then, I guess it really is probable you haven't heard of the person being oh-so-righteously indignant in my skull. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-07 02:42 am UTC (link)
	Well that's just you being stubborn then. Exactly. I hadn't even remembered Tinker Bell until the twinkling started. Then I saw a movie cover in a display and figured it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmazandaran 2012-03-07 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	That must have been ... depressing? Annoying? I'm not sure what the proper word for the situation is. He's from Phantom of the Opera. Novel version. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-07 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	A bit of a shock. I bought pretty much every movie I could find with her in it. She likes Hook best out of all of them, I think. Oh! That's the one with the girl who gets kidnapped by the guy with the burned face right? He lives in the sewers with a mask and it's creepy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmazandaran 2012-03-07 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	It's a little more complicated than that, but ... yes, in general, that's what the story's about. Very overdramatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
