I've been meaning to do this, so here it is, what I think of all of you, good and bad. If there's one thing I can agree on with people, even if I'm angry at them, is posting something like this.
Ryan: Simply, I like you when you're not being a jerk. I'm pretty sure you already know what I think you should do.
Braeden: I think you're one of the people I trust most out of anyone. You're fun to be around, and I feel like I don't have to impress you. I like the serious conversations we have. In general, we seem to mesh well. As for the bad... I wish we hung out more. I wish you'd apply yourself more at school, and just feel inspired to go for what you want. I also wish you'd get over a certain someone.
April: I honestly don't know what to think. I'm confused. What I like about you is how the stories you've told me in the past (like when you moved out of your family's house) were so animated and hilarious. I remember we'd talk about all sorts of things, and you'd have lots of advice to give. I guess what I don't like about you is how you can be loud sometimes. And as much as I hate to admit it, I'm jealous of how socialable you are.
Paul: Well... I dunno what to say. First off, I'm glad you seem to have more confidence. If there was one thing I wanted for you, it was for you to just stand up for yourself. I miss how we used to be friends before we ever started dating. I thought we got along well. Then I broke up with you, and I understand that you have every right to hate me. You've been pretty rude to me here and there, you didn't want to ride in the same car as me, you seem to do everything in your power to ignore or avoid me.. All I want to know is why? Is it because I broke up with you (do you still feel all awkward about that)? Is it because you just dislike my personality or how I act? Is it something else I can't think of? I wish we could be friends again.
Rob: I dunno what to think. One time you say "I want to be better friends with you", the next it feels like you're giving me the cold shoulder. However, you've been so kind to me in the past. Offering to give me driving lessons, listening when I needed to talk, even cosigning for my cellphone (I never expected anyone to do that for me XD). Thank you. I guess it feels like you don't show a lot of emotion, its hard to read you. I know I've been ungreatful in the past, and for that, I apologize.
Darren: Ah Darren.. we go way back (back when the SSC actually existed.. that was so long ago). You're kind, you've given me a truthful answer when I've asked for it, and you've been patient with me. You've had advice to give me, and if I ever need a recommendation for a movie or tv show, I know who to go to :P. As for the other side of the coin... it seems like you change your opinions a lot (I could ask you for advice on something one day, and the next you'd say the opposite of what you said, or so I thought). I also think you need to lighten up a bit on your opinion of women. Don't let your bad experiences make you bitter.
Al: I've known you as long as Darren. You're so weird sometimes, it rocks! XD You're interesting, and some of the things you say are so weird, it makes me laugh (in a good way). Multiplying colors will always stand out in my mind XD. You give good advice, and seem pretty objective about things. I don't really have anything bad to say about you.
Mandi: I like how we have similiar interests, and I can whine about things that are bothering me and be a total girl with you (right down to trying on cartfuls of stuff at Value Villge.. good times). I admire how you do your own thing and don't care what others think. I wish you didn't live so far away, but that's beyond your control. I sometimes feel like i need to compete with you (since we have such similiar interests, I feel a bit jealous of your achievements. Don't get me wrong, I AM happy for you :P). I think you need to not get so worked up about stuff, and be a bit more modest I guess. You act a bit childish sometimes, but I think you've got a pretty good head on your shoulders :)
Juju: I don't talk to you much, or really get to hang out with you a lot. When we actually do, I have fun. I like you, and I wish I knew you better. I think you're you're so cute and hilarious. Sometimes I'm afraid to talk to you because you seem like you're angry or impatient about something. Sometimes I think you act like a bit of jerk (not necessarily towards me, but to others). For some reason, it seems like you need to be more confident in yourself.
Sami: I'm slowly getting to know you! That's good, because you always seemed like such a mystery to me. I like how you're good at organizing things and such. I like knowing I can talk to you about so many things of concern to me, and you won't judge me. You offer me advice based on personal experience. I don't really have anything bad to say about you.
Other than that, if I haven't mentioned you, its probably because I don't know you as well to really have a worthwhile opinion, or I have nothing bad to say about you.
I feel like I should post some explanation on why I act a certain way, but I think I'll spare everyone the most details. Though it can be summed up with this: I have intense anxiety in social situations and I'm almost always angry or upset about something, for whatever reason. I think I can describe my anger as it takes a lot to piss me off, but when I hit the breaking point, I just explode (and more recently, I'm on the brink of exploding almost all the time). And I realize that screaming, crying, throwing things, slamming doors, and having an intense desire to put my fist through breakable objects are not healthy or mature ways of dealing with my anger. But honestly, it feels so GOOD to just throw something, cry a lot, yell and be done with it.
Maybe I need help. I dunno. I certainly don't have money to go to anger management. I don't see the point in talking to a counselor or anything, because I know what I need to do to fix my anger and anxiety, but my hands are pretty much tied. Though I think the one thing I can fix right now is instead of throwing things and crying when I get angry, I use that energy for something constructive and/or physical. I have an idea of what that could be. So yeah, I should go.
