Certain adaptations of Alice in Wonderland force the character of Alice into pastiche of Dorothy from the Oz books; but this is errneous as Alice is inquistitive and an explorer of her surroundings to no end except that dictated by dream logic, whereas Dorothy has the clear goal of returning home. Both of these have been used as metaphors for the trasition from childhood to womanhood, but both were in fact creations of authors who were seeking to satirize the politics and culture of their particular time and place. The point is at the end of the day Dorothy wants to return home to some farm in Kansas even though she's surrounded by gay lions and great footwear, but Alice wants to hang around and discuss poetry with crazy people in a garden.

I'm with Alice.

I'm working and mentally wandering.

Sneaking reading material anywhere, remembering superhero continuity, being inappropriate.

Someone to rant with

Watching a bad movie with a buddy and plotting adventures or settling in for a bath and a drink with a book I don't mind getting damp.

The first thing I notice about a person is their lips, followed by their eyes.

You want to catch a movie or exhibit or try something new.
