kinda sorta bored.
10 things I wish I could say to people:
1. Use birth control. Seriously.
2. Respect your elders.
3. Don't treat kids like babies, they understand more than you think.
4. Pets should be waited upon like royalty at all times. Anything less is abuse.
5. Pass on the left, travel on the right.
6. Let people off the T before you bumrush your way in, for fuck's sake (note: I do say this out loud to people ALL THE TIME).
7. Don't do things out of some sense of obligation, do them because it's what you want to do.
8. You can disagree with your family and still love them.
9. Give yourself every opportunity to see live art.
10. If you need to say no, say no. Don't be an asshole about it; but also, couching rejection in half-truths and apologies does no one any good, either.
Nine things about myself
1. I had a speech impediment when I was in the first grade; I wasn't pronouncing my "esses" properly. Training fixed it.
2. Apparently, I'm a Genius, though I doubt that from time to time.
3. I met my first Drag Queen when I was eight. I thought he was beautiful both as a man and as a woman.
4. If my hair looks bad, it makes me really upset; because it's the one pretty thing I've got going for me.
5. I wear a Mason's ring. I'm not a Mason; I got it from my father, who wasn't a Mason, either.
6. I go to Haymarket almost every Saturday morning.
7. I am a firm believer in ignoring arbitrary rules (aka do not touch, do not sit on the grass, etc).
8. I hope that in the event of an actual emergency, I will be able to do what I am trained to do.
9. People who have poorly done tattoos make me angrier than people with stupid tattoos.
Eight ways to win my heart

5. Dance, or at least try to.
6. Laugh at yourself.
7. Laugh at me.
8. Laugh at the world.
