On timed memes
I am doing this meme thing. For ten days. Am I going to remember it? Hopefully.
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now. BUT PROBABLY NEVER WILL.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.
1. Thank you for always, always telling me the truth. Even when it's hard for you and you know it will be hard for me too. I react badly to it sometimes but I'm always grateful in the end for the chance to change.
2. I wish we were closer than we are. You seem like a really cool person but I feel like I'm not enough of a 'popular girl' to be on your list of usual friends.
3. In the past couple of years I've learned that you're fun, sweet, have great ideas, silly like me, and generally a really good person. I hate that despite that, I'll never be able to forget, and I still struggle to forgive.
4. Sometimes I poke at/talk to you just for the pleasure of conversation with you. It can feel like a bid for your attention, like I'm jumping up and down going 'Notice me!' and waving a sign. ...That's how badly I want to be friends.
5. If I thought there was any, any, way it could be possible, I would come get you myself and you would be moving in here, with us.
6. Your act doesn't fool me anymore, and frankly you're about as off-putting as you've ever been. I've just stopped trying to get your approval.
7. I think we've gotten a lot closer recently and I'm really glad about that. But if you want to make a change, you have to be the force behind it; if you don't 'man up' and do it yourself, then you must not really want it badly enough. Otherwise your cycle of hiding from your problems - thereby increasing your problems - is just going to continue, and get worse.
8. I miss talking to you. You understood the way I think better than anyone else ever has.
9. I'm always afraid to offer ideas to you because I don't want to seem like I'm controlling what happens, or like you always have to agree with me. I don't want things to get bad just because I was impatient and forceful.
10. I wish you would actually come to me if I've done something to upset you or something you think is hurtful or annoying. It won't break me to hear it personally, and I won't go around denouncing you forever. It may be the only way to bring down the wall you've built between us.
I am looking for ways to give sort-of-clues. No one I've read so far actually attempts to identify the people, and I wonder in paranoia about things.
Six days! WOOT!
