what do the hippies think of geishas?

i saw the movie and decided i want to be a geisha but i don't want to give up my hippieness and so my question is can i both be a geisha and a hippie?

 

wasnt the movie supposed to be about how much it sucked to be one cause she didnt have the freedom to love the man she did? i havent seen the movie, but thats what i've heard.


anyway. dont BE a hippie. dont BE a geisha. BE YOU. whoever that is.

 

You're kidding, right?

 

you can only label yourself one or the other..choose wisely.

 

i think i'm gonna label myself a geisha but secretly be a hippie without telling anyone

 

then you gotta change your screenname =P
that's the only rule

 

I tryed to picture a geisha with hairy legs and armpits, but I just couldn't.

 

wow...

 

Now I'm trying even harder not to picture cheif in a kamono (damn you)

 

yeah ...im confused, whats up with that?

 

unrequited love has a special exquisite flavor... the pain of love in separation

 

Just be what you want to be, combine, whatever, no rules on things like that except what you WANT to be.

 

what? unrequited love hurts like fucking hell.. been there, done that. no fun.

 

you bailed too soon... there's an alchemical transmutation of the heart that when complete, you drink of the eternal ambrosia of the gods

 

isn't "no rules" also a rule? you are a hypocrit

 

i think 4+ years is long enough. i loved him fully. i still love him. i'd give him the world if I could. But I dont want to know him cause his smile hurts my heart.
How old are you? just out of curiousity. it really has little to do with this thread.

 

Well don't it that litteral. I don't mean no rules at all, some things need rules to keep things pleasant, I realise that. But I mean no rules on what you want to be. Don't pin me down on my words trying to seem like an arrogant smart-ass.

 

japz suck

 

I concur. Don't go out of your way to experience pain...that's more of a goth or emo thing than a hippy thing, and I know that's very trendy now, but I don't think pain, or depression, for that matter, should be romanticised. To my mind, "hippyness" is the antithesis of that. Just be happy, be confortable, don't feel trapped in an identity, or rather try not to feel like you have to have an identity I guess. But then we are on a "Hippy" board. Oh, the big philosophical black holes.
