Ten day meme, part seven: turn-offs
Dec. 29th, 2010 11:08 amDay 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. Entitlement. I absolutely can't stand people with any sense of being entitled to anything in this life.
2. The Sad Girl in the Corner. I see this a lot at parties, where one girl (and, occasionally, boy) is theatrically antisocial in a bid for attention. And I hate it because, while I refuse to reinforce that behavior with a concerned "Omg, what's wrong? It's okay, your social problems totally make you special and fit in here," other people are more than happy to oblige her. I hate that. Hate that. People come rushing over to the Sad Girl just like she wants, and she cycles through them tearfully as they feed her need for constant attention. I want to slap this girl. Hard. I mean, there was once where said girl was my Type with a capital T, down to her hairstyle and piercings, and I still wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot-pole. (This, if you couldn't tell, is another one of my soapboxes.)
3. People who don't speak up. I chatter endlessly about absolutely nothing, if left unchecked. I ramble. And segue. I'll do anything to keep conversation going, just about. So don't just sit there and pretend to be interested as I make an ass of myself in an attempt to find something you're interested in. Be assertive about it, and I'm seriously yours. And I'll learn what you're into. Otherwise, I walk away feeling like an idiot and you walk away thinking I'm an idiot. Who wins there?
4. Muffin tops. Men or women - if it doesn't fit, don't wear it.
