I'm Just A Lil Shy · 8mo

How do you connect with your robo side?

In big and small ways. I have a robot head that I wear out sometimes when I'm going around doing errands, and it's always nice to know people are seeing you as something closer to how you feel. And when I have the luxury of picking my own font for a digital thing I'll tend to use nice, angular monospace jobs. But its a bunch of little things? I try to do repetitive tasks with percision. When I turn corners I tend to pirouette on one foot to better simulate rotating on my monopod. My white noise of choice is Win95 Defrag sounds. I go 'meep' quietly when I'm uncomfortable. And there's other, more intimate ways that I think I'd feel weird going into.

Also, for what its worth, doing a stream every week where I can just say out loud "Hey, I'm robot" and have a non-zero amount of people go "Yup, you're robot" back is very validating. [|]-D - S
