An Avatar Moment might come suddenly, you walk straighter, faster, maybe break into a run, feel the sun, your senses are very much alive. Just like your Na'vi cousins. Or you are in the car, listening to the AVATAR soundtrack, and WHAM, there you are, transported into the middle of that scene (hopefully not into the bumper of the car in front of you).
Or it might be a situation where you make a total skxawng out of yourself, like me today.
I went to pick avocados this morning. Normally, I'd use a ladder, a picker and be all grown up about it, but today I took off my shoes and climbed up a tree (which are not very tall, by the way). I sat in the branches, picking those gnarly avos and putting them into a cloth sack on my side. The fog was in the air, birds were noisy, and -yes- I wore my AVATAR necklace plus my hair in a swishy braid. I just felt so alive! I started speaking the few lines of Na'vi I know from the movie out loud to myself. Awesome!
Well, my ipod funneled AVATAR track 5 into my ears, so I didn't notice that my neighbor had walked up underneath the tree. She had thought I was talking to her, and now she looked at me really funny, as in "I think you need help".
I'm no fan of christianity, but I must say that it's good to see that friend Fern's neighbor lives by the maxim "Love thy neighbor". Let's hope this neighbor does the good christian thing and let nature take it's course; meaning letting SacredFern fall out of that tree someday and break her neck, while laughing about it.
Still, I gotta give props to SacredFern for actually going outside. You won't see avatards doing that very often. And it's nice to see that naviblue isn't as crazy I had thought it would be; too bad they aren't as entertaining as the crazies I want to document.
So even when avatards are winners, they're still losers.
And what the fuck is a skxawng?
