I was in City Fresh Market today, and while looking at the cakes, direly wished you were there to eat some weird Eastern European cake with me. I don't know if this counts as a compliment, and it's sure as heck not anonymous, but if it's any consolation I struggle with the same self defeating confidence issues and it super duper sucks. That said, I think you're awesome as a person and I love reading your LJ. I'll go finish my piece of tuxedo cake now.
You'd be surprised how broadly I smiled at being associated with weird Eastern European cakes. All you said absolutely counts as a compliment and I take it with grace and gratefulness (as opposed to the usual pooh-poohing I do when I can't take a compliment for whatever reason).
...we seriously bring up crazy E.E. cakes all the time here, particularly one we had at the cracked-out Uzbek missionary restaurant (they put Jesus cards in the folder where you put your credit card along with your bill) called Symphony Cake. I would love to have an E.E. cake sampler plate...
You deserve so much better than what your situation dictates right now. I mean that. We all have our screwed up aspects, and that you put them on the table is admirable. Many of us just hide them and pretend they aren't there.
In other areas, you are hilarious and awesome, even if you do not intend to be. You are also highly intelligent, and the combination of these factors makes for me being giddy every time you update Star-Gazy Pie.
Hang in there. Everyone needs a boost now and then, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with admitting it, as long as you don't let it become your only self-esteem fuel. To complete this boost/fuel metaphor, please rocket away from the land of self-loathing. I want to see you happy.
Your sense of humor is brutally irreverent and as a longtime fan of Bill Hicks, George Carline, and the like, it never fails to get a laugh out of me. You have a true gift for turning a phrase, whether conscious or not.
