I'm coming to terms with myself, I think.

I'm not weird. I'm not different. I'm just myself. I'm a nerd, but that's not a bad thing. It's just who I am.

And oddly enough, this is because of this guy:

Hey Steph? This post brings to mind a reconnection I've had since I've been back on FB. Really sweet guy I knew for a long time during my first go-round on the music scene. He is, as another music scene friend described him, "a nerd's nerd." Totally geeky. I wouldn't say he was the most popular guy on the scene. People made fun of him...hell, *I* even made fun of him and we were (and are once again) dear friends.

Where am I going with all this? Well, he's totally himself, different drummer and all. It took awhile, but he met his Ferio (or maybe in his case it's Feri-A) about 10 years ago, and they are now married and blissfully happy. I haven't seen them in person YET, but I've heard that they're so incredibly close that they sometimes wear matching shirts, LOL!

So don't give up...keep on being yourself and yes, Ferio will be out there for you. :::makes mental note to absorb this lesson as well:::

That honestly gives me a ton of hope and confidence in myself. I actually thought of myself as 'undateable' at one point in time, but I'm starting to grow out of that...it just always means a lot to have some extra reassurance!

We'll both get ours. I promise.

Always glad to be supportive when I can! And we had BETTER both get ours...otherwise I will stomp my feet and throw things at the walls. LOL...

After a load of drama today, it's so nice to talk to someone mature (my most recent post should tell you everything). But yeah - we'll both find 'em! Then we just have to reel 'em in, hee!

[ecl1958]

Mmmmm, yeah, I saw that. Nothing like a little LJ drama, is there? Like junior high all over again. :::sigh:::

I know! I don't understand some people at all. It's almost scary to think that so many people are walking around in this world with so much hate in their hearts.

I hope everyone's okay... ♥

Check your PMs.

ETA: It's more than *almost* scary. It's...really scary, all that hatred and vindictiveness.

[1863_project]

It's scary. Terrifying. (And reading and replying now!

Okay...will be up for a little while longer. Trying to catch up on some Facebook stuff before bed, as I've been too busy to even look at it since about 8:00 this morning.

Replied! And this thing is still going on, sheesh. Some people don't know when to quit...or how to quit each other.
