1.) I never quite say what I mean, and I rarely ask for things directly. I tend to say something that I don't mean and expect you to figure out the hidden meaning. I don't like to ask for things a lot of the time, and I hate asking for help, even if it's just asking where I am supposed to sit. I don't like feeling dumb or inferior, and I don't like feeling selfish or mean, or any other bad adjective for saying what I mean.
2.) I force myself to grow resentment. I'm always doing things that I know will cause me to resent those who are close to me. It's my way of keeping people at arms length. I may have you seem, and even be, very close, but I'm always pushing you slightly away.
3.) I abosolutely want to punch people who purposely mispronounce my name. I get it, it looks nothing like how it's pronounced. Adding 50 -er's to the end just makes me want to hit you in the face.
4.) I use my sexuality to be close to people. No, I don't sleep around, but I like to be sexualish with people. Hence why I hug people so much, and why I'll look guys who aren't my boyfriend in the eye when I'm 5 inches from their face. It's not that I "like" them, it's that sexuality is the natural way of feeling close to someone.
5.) I like leaving an impression. As you may or may not have noticed from a lot of my blog posts, I like to leave an impression. I really like to get people thinking. Philosophy should be spread, in my opinion, so my main goal a lot of the time is simply to get you thinking. This normally happens late at night. Rainstorms and certain types of music help.
6.) I have a voice inside my head. I'm not going to go ahead and say I'm schizophrenic, because I realize what's going on. However, ever since I was little, there has been another person inside my head. I named her Sarah. She's a total bitch and is always against what I want, and is highly protective of me. We make bets. If I win, she has to go away for a while. If she wins, I have to hold my breath for a while, which let's her breath, and gain strength. It sounds crazy because it is.
7.) I've never felt quite like I fit. I don't know how many people really have this problem to this extreme, but my entire life, even when I was 5, I remember ALWAYS feeling left out. I have never quite fit. I can be the center of attention but still want to be off alone in my room because I know in my heart that I don't belong there. I can name maybe one point in my life where I felt like I fit, but I don't feel like sharing it.
8.) I get hung up on things. I don't have a weak memory, even if I pretend to forget a lot of things. I often times remember better than you do, though I'll act like I've forgotten completely. However, this is not my point. I get hung up on everything. The little things, the big things, and the inbetween. I remember when I was 12 and was walking around a sand dune with this kid I dated for a while Sam, and I accidentally said Math instead of Science and I am still kicking myself about it. You can't tell me not to worry about something or not think about it. I may outwardly forgive and forget, but I always have it on the back of my mind. It adds to my anxiety.
9.) I like indie music and indie things. I love random indie music. I like random indie clothes. I think Stephanie Cyburt dresses amazingly because it's all so unique. I love the music that's on the OC because it's all indie music or indie bands doing covers. If you are in my family room you'll see tons of sticky notes with lyrics written down so I can find the songs later, such as from commercials and television shows. I don't know as many indie things as I would like to, but when I find something I treat it like treasure. If you have any reccomendations for books, music, or anything, you really should tell me. I'd appreciate it more than you would know. Even if you just find an article you think might interest me. Even if it has nothing to do with indie and just something about the world. I like to spread my knowledge, and I like to know things other people don't. I like to listen to things not everyone does. I like to find something that really fits into who I am.
10.) I'll like you more if you'll have an indepth conversation with me. I like having friendly chats with people, yes, but what really gets to me is getting into really indepth discussions. Philosophy, speaking in riddles, talking about what really matters. What we think about life, the future, death, religion, music, nature, the past, the now, the way things work, you name it. I feel far more connected having one deep discussion with someone than having a lot of regular talks with people.
There's what I have.
It's time to begin, isn't it?
