10 things you wish you could say to 10 different people right now
❶ How to begin? There are so many things I want to say... but for now, just know that I care.
❷ And you, too. You're a good friend (even if I push the boundaries a bit). You've also got shockingly good advice, things that I'm trying to take to heart.
❸ I understand wanting to protect yourself, but hurting others in the process is callous and cold.
➍ Sorry for the social shutdown; I'll try not to be so bad in the future. But -- it may be time to move on.
❺ The real world has basically taken all our free time, but looking back, you were still a friend even when I was at my most pathetic emo angsty, and I have a history of doing it. Thanks for the straight-shootin' support!
❻ LET'S HUNT GHOSTS. AND BIGFOOT. Also write novels! At least -- I know for sure you'll be published before I am, so here's my pre-emptive congrats :P
❼ You're a nice enough girl in that you mean well, but holy fuck, I've honestly never met someone as stupid or irritating as you.
❽ Oh wait, you. YOU'RE more stupid and irritating than (7). I honestly hope you rot in hell. That's not something I say lightly.
❾ I'm really sorry about your girlfriend/fiancee. I don't want to say move on -- that's silly -- but I do worry a bit about the drinking. If only you could pour your sorrow into your work, you could show the world something really, really impressive.
❿ You're the girlfriend I miss the most, when I happen to think about the past. Even though you've changed so much as to be unrecognizable compared to then, I only have fond memories.
09 things about yourself
❶ I'm obsessive-compulsive about doing things differently from myself and from others. Even at the expense of quality, I'll try extra-hard to just be different.
❷ I've suffered at least two full-on nervous breakdowns, each time accompanied by going literally crazy. Like, I really should have been put in a mental institution or forced to see a shrink. I'm not even joking.
❸ I beatbox. Poorly.
➍ I have no living grandparents; the last one died in 2004. She was living with us for at least 4 years, and nobody liked her, and nobody mourned her passing. I feel guilty, but I was amongst the 'nobody'. I felt nothing. I still don't.
❺ I've been going to Conventions since 1997, when I went to GenCon (which was still in Milwaukee at the time).
❻ I started reading at an early age -- 4 or 5 -- starting with the Chicago Tribune.
❼ I was an extra on Miracle On 34th Street. The scenes I was in were: everyone looking up at the clock; and all the children running into the Sears-Roebuck store.
❽ I've been doing National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) every year since 2002, but only completed it for the first time last year.
❾ I used to weigh 150 and was able to do 3 full sets of benches at 200 lbs.
08 ways to win your heart
❶ Share my bizarre sense of humor. This is important; if I feel like I can't make a girl laugh with my stupid asides, I won't feel like we're connecting, period. At least have some overlap!
❷ Be empathetic -- I really care about a lot of different things, and I want my SO to have the same feeling of care and worry.
❸ Be open to trying nerdy things. Nerds/geeks already win in this category, but even if you don't, this is all about exploring nerdy stuff and learning to at least accept it. Honestly, it may be better that you don't -- I love corrupting people >:)
➍ Love movies. There are a lot I haven't seen and want to, but movies are still an integral part of my life. I talk about them all the time and refer to them all the time.
❺ Send me letters or messages when I'm not around. I tend to be depressed when I'm on my lonesome, and my depression always centers around being unloved. A single message when I least expect it can buoy me all day.
❻ Listen to me. I talk a lot of shit -- and I talk a lot in general -- but everything I say is what I feel is the truth, and it's always something I feel strongly about. Nothing hurts more than to have my opinions dismissed.
❼ Shower me with attention. This is pretty self-explanatory. I always find attention gives a better lather with soap than water.
❽ Be communicative yourself; talk to me. I put a lot of emphasis on talking (as you can tell), and this ties in with 6 and 7. I tend to feel neglect easily, but even stupid pointless chit-chat will make me happy. I'm really easy to please, you just have to scratch my belleh ^.~
07 things that cross your mind a lot
❶ Money.
❷ I need a better job.
❸ I should write more.
➍ I need to stop being such a whiny bitch. Nobody likes an angstard.
❺ I want to be loved.
❻ Porn.
❼ porn about a movie script writer who overcomes despair with money and happens to find the love of a nerdy nymphomaniac.
06 things you do before you fall asleep
❶ Sigh.
❷ Tell people good night.
❸ Make sure my phone is on my desk, and that the alarm is set.
➍ Take off my glasses.
❺ Forget something/have to pee, put my glasses back on, do thing, go back to bed.
❻ Take off my glasses.
