Me! Me! Pick me!

*ahem* I mean if you want? I might not be awake that much longer, but if you catch me soon, now could work, or if you can wait until after I sleep and wake up again? I'm likely to have enough Capitals familiarity, at least for rosters within the last couple years.

I was really hoping you'd be willing! Since I clearly went to bed after posting this-- uh, I dunno, do you want me to send you an email or do you like to just bounce shit on gmail chat?

It's kind of about that story I alluded to long ago; it just got a lot longer than I expected. I should probably send you the document, but it's still only half done.

Woot! Email's probably easiest for me (this username at gmail), and I'm completely happy to read half-written things, so send away! :D

Woo! Give me a day or so, then. I'll have to clean up the document a little so you can understand some of the notes I left, and I can write up some of the questions that are preying on my mind. Thank you so much for this!

Sah, I have the same self-esteem thing, but IDK. I have like, this crippling fear of disappointing my parents. I have no idea why, because they've never once in my life given me any cause to think their love was conditional, or that they disapproved of me. (I still get no 'why aren't you dating/making babies' talks ( ... )

This was such an amazing and interesting comment to read, so I gotta thank you right off the bat for that. Next time, I'm tackling you on gmail to get your thoughts XD ( ... )

RE: the Catholic thing
Ahhh, that makes sense, I wasn't thinking of Catholic school just general upbringing.
The closest I got to being in Catholic school was said Catechism, where I once briefly stole a rosary from someone's desk because I didn't realize it was a real desk from a real student who was there for real school. So I put it back.

And holy shit it is so steeped in red here I can't even tell you. The other liberal I know at work and I speak Japanese to each other so that no one knows what we were talking about. I think they figure I'm a little pinko, but probably not full on Godless Democrat. Otherwise I don't *think* the two people who sit near me would talk about 'liberal scum crawling out from under a rock at election time' or needle me about why I don't own any guns as much.

So that's the red. For the redneck bit, there are more than one people that drive a monster truck.

Oh, also, just thinking... one of the things that may have made it easier for me to seek praise is that I'm an only child?

I can see the Purveyors of Possum and Python Pest Placement turning up in a fic any day now.

Those dead bodies are really freaky. It does seem odd that they've just been left there. I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons not to move them at this point, but still. It feels awful to know they're stuck there forever (the one who'd been left a teddy bear was very sweet, though in a sad and creepy way).

Ooooh, fairytales. I will get around to reading those ...

Yeah, that does seem to be like a business Zack and/or Reno would be involved in, wouldn't it?

I know! It's like... don't they have family who want them back? I know some of them must be really hard to reach, if they've fallen in a crevasse or something, but still. It blows my mid that they'd just stay up there.

I hope you enjoy them!
