X Years Ago Today

[sorcyress]

A year ago today, it was 2008, and I wrote a pretty decent essay on friendship privileges. If your name is macaroniandtuna, didn't you promise to give me thoughts like...eleven and a half months ago or something?

The actual posting of that one involved little bits and pieces of drama that I don't feel like going into. And when I originally wrote it, I will admit there was a little bit of a "HINT HINT!" involved for someone certain, which I so got past by the time I posted it. I try very hard not to hint hint people in my livejournal.

(Okay, really, I just try very hard not to hint hint people. If I want a relationship, I should be man² enough to ask the damn person if there's any hope for us. It's amazing what a little bit of communication will do.)

I was pretty happy with the writing of that one, though, and since I think at least half of the goal of this project is to find really good things that I've written and bring them back to public attention, go read!.

MOOP!

((OH! Also, twenty one years ago today it was 1988, and muzikmaker21 was born. I didn't bother blagging about this at the time, which was a massive oversight. Sorry dude. Have a good birthday, 'k brotherfather?))

1: I have the nasty habit of being dumped by boys I'm not dating. I'm pretty sure it's happened three, maybe even four times now.³

2: Woman enough, awesome enough, fuck, I don't know. It's just the way I talk, I talk kinda misogynistic, okay? I don't like it either.

3: Ahahahaha, notetoself, if you're going to decide to delete a part of the entry you're writing, delete the relevant footnotes as well. Although this one amuses me. Consider it your Fun Sorcy Fact of the day or something.

Clearly you should put the relevant part of the entry back in.

So I did. I still don't remember what they were, and you didn't remind me in a few days either. So I'm going to think, and see if I can remember.

Yeah...they're gone. Lost Thoughts. 'Cause see, if I didn't write them up then and there, it had to have been something that would have taken me a while to write up, what with me being kind of verbose sometimes. So I'll try to come up with some more I guess.

1) "Snog them thoroughly" - that's kind of sexual assault.
2) I agree with your initial theory wholeheartedly. One of the communities I'm in had a post asking people for the best pickup line they'd ever used/had used on them, and a lot of people in there said the best one was "Nice shoes. Wanna fuck?" So based on that, I think a lot of other people do too.
3) Instead of being worried that you're leading on someone who's interested in you by continuing to give those friendship privileges, you could always ask them point blank if they're interested in you. That'd clear up all that confusion right away, 'cause presumably after they tell you whether you are or not, they'll want to know whether you are or not. So no more mixed signals. (Of course this is all easy to say and hard to do.)

Caught me!

I so went searching back for that little superscript 1.

And if you had managed to blog about muzikmaker21 on his birthday, that would have been awesome, but I think you can excused the oversight, as you weren't born yet.

YAY! I love you anyway.

So many words all in my head that aren't going to make it out, i don't think, but i think you've inspired to W to write up an essay of his own on his elljay and that may well cover a lot of those aforementioned words.
