    "maybe throw horns \m/ "

    Man, I love devil horns, it’s a great non verbal communicator. I remember seeing someone wearing a t-shirt of one of my favourite bands at an semi fancy event once. I wasn’t able to go over and talk to them, so I excitedly waved, pointed at my own t-shirt (which was plain), and then threw devil horns. They understood what I was saying and in that moment, a friendship was formed, although unfortunately we never got the chance to actually talk.

    I just love the fact that I was dressed quite unlike I usually do, so didn’t have many alt aspects of my appearance, but this one neat hand gesture was sufficient to establish rapport between me and someone cool.

      It’s kinda crazy how something that simple can unite people. Metal is membership in a worldwide community, with that nigh universal symbol Apple able to bridge languages and culture in a way that very little else does.

      It’s beautiful

      I remember doing the horns at the graduation ceremony for my bachelor’s diploma. I look back in embarrassment but I just sort of didn’t know what else to do.
