  1. THIS IS RANDOM BUT I JUST REMEMBERED A JOKE ABOUT THE SEA

     

    ONCE I WAS TALKING TO THIS GIRL WHO WAS A TOTAL SCIENCE NERD

     

    IN FACT SHE HAD AN ENTIRE PART OF HER BOOKSHELF DEDICATED TO MARINE BIOLOGY

     

    AND I TOLD HER, "WOW, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A SEA SECTION"

     

    AND THEN SHE STOPPED TALKING TO ME THE NEXT DAY

    I'm still living life on the stage, and also have a bunch of fun mental illnesses. This song was one of the ones that kept me going, I've listened to it countless times I know every word off by heart :)

     

     

    I really like the metaphors in this song, especially the one about the ring on her finger being a gift to the gutters. I've seen friendships and relationships get torn apart by mental illness and "My Manic and I" does a great job of capturing that wistfulness, without really putting a blame on anybody (which a lot of songs do).

    It's just a fancy made-up word for being single because no one wants to date you and you're just trying to make yourself sound special. 

     

    Y'know for the longest time I refused to consider I could've been arospec, because I thought I was just insecure and self-sabotaged all my romantic relationships because I felt like I didn't deserve anyone. Nah, I self-sabotaged because dating felt icky.

  4. I have a special connection to the song "Deep Inside of You" by Third Eye Blind. It's held a lot of different meanings for me over time. When I first heard it, it made me think about all my past relationships with people, both platonic and romantic. 

     

    I have a lot of mental health issues so I tend to isolate myself, but people mistake this as "an air of mystery" and end up thinking I'm some sort of super special guy with all sorts of deep dark secrets to reveal. And because I feel lonely, I'll play the "mystery man" act up to keep them interested in me, to the point where every interaction with them becomes a performance--which makes me feel lonelier, because I end up with a whole bunch of friends who aren't actually friends with the real me, and then I end up hating both them and myself, for making me become an actor in the first place. 

     

    But over the past few years, I met some people who didn't want to pretend, for the sake of anybody. People who were brave enough to be themselves, to be open about their issues, who encouraged me to cut down my acting, and be more honest with myself and others. Hearing this song always reminds me that people can always make a difference in your life, if you let them in, and that sometimes, we need to learn to live without a safety net in order to grow in character.

     

    What are some songs that mean a lot to you?

  5. I hate the idea of someone wanting to make me the center of their universe, or a part of the center of their universe, if they're poly. I don't like it when people make a huge show out of relationships, like suddenly things have changed once you start dating, and you're expected to do "more." I don't understand, if the bond was so strong in the first place, you don't need to do "more" to prove anything. Nothing should change in the relationship dynamic just because you're "dating." I guess I never really thought of "dating" as anything special. I always thought of "dating" as just a really intimate friendship, maybe with sex involved if you were into that.

    Cannot decide between Rincewind, Death and Vimes. They're all so good

     

    Ahhh I started off hating Rincewind, but then I fell in love with him after reading Sourcery. I still gotta read more about him, but my squish really wants me to finish the Night Watch series, so I'm reading that first. Death is really funny! And Vimes gets cooler the more you get to know him. But my heart will always belong to the Luggage.
