Seven confessions

resonant... because I feel like admitting to someone how petty and selfish I am, but would prefer to do so in a way that isn't likely to have any negative consequences for me.
1. I hate listening to the spouse practice the piano. It makes me want to break something.
2. I'm disappointed that all my real-life friends and relations didn't make a much bigger fuss over my birthday.
3. If it weren't for guilt, I would never agree to spend one minute playing "house" with the kidlet, not ever for the rest of my life.
4. My friend with the low self-esteem is rather boring, and I tend to duck her phone calls when I can.
5. I think that my parents really are more likeable and reasonable than the spouse's parents are. Likewise, I believe my brother's messed-up-ness is less profound and antisocial than the messed-up-ness of the spouse's siblings.
6. I compare my Friend Of list with other people's, and secretly feel a thrill of joy when I discover that more people are reading my journal than are reading someone else's.
7. Deep down, I feel that it's only right and proper if other people make more of an effort than I do.

Date: 5/9/03 12:27 pm (UTC)Hee. Doesn't everyone? (Of course, then I had to go take a look at your "Friend Of" numbers, and I got all depressed, so you can consider that your belated birthday present. *g*)

Date: 5/9/03 01:06 pm (UTC)Erm, not those of us who are likely to suffer by the comparison. Anyway, resonant, I worship at the shrine of your honesty. And it was your birthday? I didn't get you anything!
Would you like some porn? (Yeah, I know, that's what I got you last year.)

Date: 5/9/03 07:52 pm (UTC)Well, diamonds are forever, but you never have to fish smut out of the garbage disposal, that's what I say.

Date: 5/9/03 01:24 pm (UTC)Hey, that felt good! And your list isn't so bad. I'm sure we can all relate to most of 'em.

Date: 5/9/03 01:32 pm (UTC)Hee. I'm happy every single time I look at [well known fan]'s friends list and see that I am on it and a much disliked by me fellow fan is not, even though we both have [w.k.f.] friended.

Date: 5/9/03 07:59 pm (UTC)[hooting] I've done this! And checked Kelvin (http://marnanel.org/kelvin) to gloat over having more Friends Of than Friends ... There's probably a whole list of ways to use LJ to identify your precise position on the fannish monkey hierarchy.

Actually I'll drink imaginary tea any time. It's pretending to be a baby -- to very precise and demanding specifications of acceptable baby behavior -- that makes me want to fake my own death.

(that's me agreeing with you.)

Date: 5/9/03 03:37 pm (UTC)Oh, good. It's not just me. My secret irritation? I've never ever had a "surprise" party. I threw one for Hub's 30th and he's never ever ever done anything like it.
I love him dearly but I honestly don't think he could plan his way out of a paper sack.
3. If it weren't for guilt, I would never agree to spend one minute playing "house" with the kidlet, not ever for the rest of my life.
Say amen, sister! I hate "dinosaurs vs. action figures;" I don't understand the rules (there aren't any) and I don't like being hit on the hand by plastic things.
Not that I'm validating *your* issues here - just adding my own rant :)
(and I can't put the birthday whine in my own lj since he reads it)
Oh! And Happy Birthday! I doubt you'd like any smut I'd write but may you have hot, sweaty, naked, limbs entangled dreams. :)

Date: 5/9/03 05:29 pm (UTC)Exactly the reasoning behind those nice latticed screens they used to have in confessionals. Those modern ones are way too porous.
