| Weaknesses- a litany |
This is for Amanda, so she doesn't up and execute the Composition Challenge.
I am weak in a lot of ways. These are the ones that cause me to despise myself the most. Because one of my greatest weaknesses is my intolerance for weakness.
1) I talk too fast
2) And sometimes too much
3) I pick at my nail polish
4) I lie a lot
5) For fun
6) I am far more solitary than I should be, and than people think I am
7) I have really serious power issues
8) oh, and also control ones
9) I fall in love 3 to 5 times per day
10) and fall out of love just as often, if not more so, because I'll decide I dislike friendly acquaintances through no fault of their own
11) I'm self-righteous about my political views
12) I'm defensive about everything else
13) I cannot believe I'm still talking about myself. Jesus.
14) I have envy towards people capable of religious or spiritual enlightenment, but I have neither the time nor the courage nor the patience to pursue those things on my own
15) I'm addicted to my friends
16) I can't sleep
17) I'm pretty sure I already know the outcome of everything
18) my greatest fear is being all talk
19) I surprise myself with my own hard-heartedness
20) I rarely dust
21) Make me laugh and I'm yours for life
22) Occasionally, I fantasize about running away and becoming a nun in Africa somewhere. but a trampy one.
23) I also sometimes fantasize about getting married and being barefoot and pregnant until my babymaking dancecard is full
24) My blushing gives me away
25) I'm a compulsive flosser
26) go ahead. try and hurt me.
27) I pride myself on the infrequency of my weeping
28) My nightmares are so disturbing that I sometimes feel that my subconscious should be locked up indefinitely
29) I am bad on the phone sometimes
30) packagingLabels: composition challenge, i'm kind of a jerk |

You could always be a barefoot nun who ends up preggo because of her trampy ways.
Lying for fun is the best kind of lying.

Christ, number 6 might be the story of my life.
Some of these reminded me of the postSecret thing you can find on YouTube.

Are you, by any chance, a Cancer?
-
I feel ya on #17 and #18.
And especially #6.
Is it bad that this made me laugh: "Because one of my greatest weaknesses is my intolerance for weakness."

Perhaps there is, as you science types say, a correlation here?
You're a sweet gal, Meg... and that is really hard work sometimes. Don't be too hard on yourself.

TK- you are always thinking both outside and inside the box. and by box i mean vagina. which is why i adore you.
arjuna- every time i see your name (because i am a slow learner) i click on it because i am always hoping against hope that you have a blog. and you don't. and i am always disappointed.
star- yes i am. how did you know that? my birthday is July 11.
PdW-it's not bad. it's a ridiculous, paradoxical phrase.
star- trust me. i let me get away with a lot. just so much. you're another one whose name i always hope is connected to a journal of sorts. it isn't. sad times.

Re: Cancer... it takes one to know one. Plus, I am just really good at the astrology thing. Ask Maxine. I think nos. 6, 9, 12, 16, 17, 19, and 26 were the ones that made me think you were.
-
star just impressed the hell out of me. (also, that statue is near my apartment, if i'm not mistaken.)
enough with the cross commenting.
was this not the hardest post ever to write? but you're so fantastic. and it's amazing how some of the things you've put as weaknesses actually come across as strengths. but i guess it's all perception.
-
well, golly. I'm definitely not interesting enough to have a blog. maybe i'll at least fill out a profile. But thanks, I'm flattened.
-
You do like lying. Like when you misinformed me about "tractor pulls". Not nice, Meg.
Okay, it was really funny and innovative. I can't believe I believed you.
Also, I cannot imagine you being hard-hearted...
-
Re #1-#30:
You say that like it's a bad thing.
-
Dear meg, my fellow recreational liar, lets reminisce for a moment about the time you and another gal decided to convince the entire college campus that you were cousins. Nearly plausible, save the "both our fathers' names are richard." classic.
i love you for everything you are.

Star- you are a magician.
Kelsi- it WAS hard! I hated it. I always START amanda's CC posts, but I chicken out and don't finish them. This time, though, she raised the stakes.
Arjuna- a profile would be a good start. We will negotiate the rest.
Mindy- I'd already forgotten about that. Ha! Tractor pull! And I'm pretty mean on the inside sometimes.
Linus- You make me swoon.
Shmift- I adore you.
-
It's true, Meg. Star is a freaky astrology wizard. I thought it was just because I'm a Scorpio and he knows a lot of Scorpios, but no. He's psychotic! I mean, uh, psychic. :D
-
For a woman who wrote a wrenching essay on a piece of pink thread tied in a ribbon, I would believe that the percentage of time you're actually hard-hearted is pretty minimal.
-
maxie- leave it to you to find the only real magician left today.
Toadely- you are sweet, but I am sometimes really not at all nice. I shock myself.
-
You want him? I hear he's realllll easy. ;)
