Poor, poor dough boy.

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 10

1 confession.

I actually just didn't even realize I still had it after a while. It wasn't until I removed it that I realized the creepy orange light it gave off was actually way worse than actual darkness.

Silly me. 

I opted to veer away from more "emo" confessions, seeing as this was the last post in the series. So, you know. Humiliation is always cool, right?

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 9

Day 9: Two emoticons that describe your life right now.

Emoticons? Really? Read: emotions. If you really want emoticons, please see random doodle below.
 
1. Optimistic
2. Nostalgic

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 8

Day 8: Three turn-ons.
Obviously not in the traditional sense of the term.

1. Easy going nature, slow to offense.
2. Love of children and other adorable things. Like puppies. Or turtles. Or turtle puppies. (Please God...?)
3. A passion for something; a reason to live.

"Some people catch your eye. Other people catch your heart." - Unknown

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 7

Day 7: Four turn-offs.

1. "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter is not a nice person." - Dave Barry
Likewise, people who are rude or unkind to their parents. Unless they've mistreated you or abused you, you owe your world to them. Being unappreciative or sassy to well meaning parents makes me rage on the inside.
2.  Entitlement and selfishness.
Don't even get me started. Nine times out of ten, you don't deserve the favor somebody is doing for you. Expect nothing in return for your good deeds, and remember that the things that bring you joy bring joy to others as well. Say your "pleases" and "thank yous", even if you don't have to.
3. Smoking, drug use, excessive alcohol, and other unhealthy habits. 
 I do not condone nor tolerate the things in life that will kill you off for no good reason. If you give up a kidney to save a life, great. If you suffer some lung damage to save a drowning anything, wonderful. If you smoke or drink for fun, the most I will offer you is restraining from saying "I told him so" to your grieving family when you die of something awful. Hypothetically speaking, anyway. If you really do die I'll probably be sad. Probably.
4. Being two faced.
There is a difference between being polite, and being deceptive. It is okay to make small talk with someone you dislike in order to save their feelings. It is not okay to make them feel as though you truly care about them if you don't. It hurts a lot more to have your band aids laced with poison than it does to be strangled.

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 6

Day 6: Five people who mean a lot to you.

Choosing just five people to go on this list was ridiculously hard. In order to solve the issue of offending people, I've deliberated left off a few of the most meaningful of my friends. Which probably only makes everyone hate me more but...

1. Sulollibow - My dear friend of an undetermined length of time, though you may be the absolute worst at sympathy and don't have a single original song to your name, I don't know what I would have done if our parents' mutual friends didn't drop you off at my house without explanation over and over again. Sure, I'd have a few more brain cells, a few less stress lines, and Sunday mornings all to myself, but I'm sure you've been good for something along the way. Probably.
2. Amelia - It's weird that someone I've never actually met is making my list, which probably only makes the people I've deliberately left out just that much madder. But anyway. Past all the ridiculous feuds and disagreement after disagreement after disagreement, you have probably changed the way I see the world more than anyone else has. You and your abundance of hippie-esque world views has brought me down to Earth more times than I can count. Thank you for your wild stories and for teaching me to spell everything ever.
3. My old man of a twin - I'm still baffled by just how similar we are, despite all of our many, many differences. I don't think I quite believed you that first day we realized how many things we had in common. If you weren't such a mature old prude I would have thought you stalked me or something.I miss your abundant and unnecessary comments about what everybody is wearing just as much as you're missing my frequent insults about your everything.
4. Purple Gypsy - I've spent way too much time with you, and I've spent way too much of that time picking on you. You don't even read this blog so I don't even know why I didn't leave you out in favor of someone who might actually see this. You drive me nuts sometimes, but thank you for tolerating me.
5. A - Thank you for humouring me about everything. I don't treat you nearly as nicely as you deserve, because you're pretty much made up of sugar and sunshine on the inside, even if you're not always showing it.
 

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: Six things you wish you'd never done.

(Note: Sadly, many of my regrets are still recent enough for me to feel uncomfortable being specific about them. Excuse the vagueness.)

1. Writing the letter that smeared the line.
2. Not waving until they didn't recognize me enough to wave back.
3. Speaking the truth when all they wanted was the lie.
4. Laugh at someone who was hurting.
5. Drink grape juice.
6. Hesitate.

^comic relief

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1. Why did I start talking I have no idea where I'm going with this please someone interrupt me before I say something stupid wahhhhhh.
2. Why did she just interrupt me? I was about to say something funny.
3. Oh crap, that was definitely not as funny out loud as it was in my head.
4. I have a lot of more important things to be doing and I should probably stop goofing off.
5. Okay, now I'll stop goofing off.
6. Why am I even doing this it's not even fun.
7. People suck.

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: Eight ways to win your heart.
1. Wait until I die, then fight a cannibal to the death for it.
2. Kill me, then fight a cannibal to the death for it.
3. Buy it from an illegal organ dealer.
4. Win it in a poker game with an illegal organ dealer.
5. Bake a fresh plate of chocolate chip cookies and trade them to me in exchange for it.
6. Devise an elaborate rouse in order to fool me into thinking some poor helpless something-or-other was dying and needed my heart to survive, then steal it when I rip it out of my chest.
7. Laugh when I tell an awful joke, and nobody else will.
8. Save me from an awkward situation.

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 2

Day 2: Nine things about yourself.
1. If tic tacs were drugs, I would have a serious problem. In my desk drawer (the one a normal person would use to store actually important things), is over thirty empty tic tac boxes which represent the three hundred I've probably consumed in my life time. I've probably inhaled more orange tic tacs than I have oxygen atoms. (Or, you know, maybe not.)
2. As a youngin',  I drank tomato soup like nobody's business. Every lunch and every dinner of every day, I would leave that bowl cleaner than it was coming out of the dishwasher.
3. I really hate tomato soup.
4. As a youngin', I drank more grape juice than I did water. This time, I am not exaggerating.
5. As a result of all my grape juice ingestion, my teeth became so thoroughly rotted out from all the sugar than I actually had to have surgery. On my teeth. You know how a normal cavity used to be filled with some sort of silver metal? My teeth were so full of cavities the dentists didn't even bother drilling holes. They just covered the whole damn tooth with the stuff, and only the ones they deemed salvageable, too.
6. I really hate grape juice.
7. I like singing, photography, sketching, painting, playing the piano, playing the guitar, writing poetry, writing fiction, and a plethora of other things. You know that story about the jack of all trades who sucked at everything? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was based on me.
8. I have a fascination with Greek and Norse mythology.
9. A wrapper from a fast food style Chinese restaurant taught me how to use chopsticks better than a lifetime with Chinese parents ever did.

 

EDIT: After doodling ^ that, I googled what a tomato actually looks like. I am very, very wrong.

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 1

Ten-Day Challenge.

Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day 2: Nine things about yourself.
Day 3: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day 5: Six things you wish you'd never done.
Day 6: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day 7: Four turn-offs.
Day 8: Three turn-ons.
Day 9: Two emoticons that describe your life right now.
Day 10: One confession. 

Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
1. You are, by far, the most pretentious bus driver I have ever encountered. I hate you so much for making me feel bad for something I didn't even do, and I hope to God that I never have to see you again. Not because I'd be tempted to hurt you, though, but because I'd probably just smile and thank you like I do with all bus drivers. And the irony will kill me.
2. Hi! I see you get on my bus sometimes. Do you remember me? I'm Vincent. You got me in trouble in grade 3 for making you feel left out. To be fair, you pushed my friend onto gravel, which was REALLY painful for an eight year old. We should catch up and pretend like we care about each others respective lives, then proceed to spend every following chance encounter trying to avoid eye contact to avoid having to do it again.
3. Persnickety isn't a real insult, okay? There was no reason for you, at the age of twelve, to start crying. P.S., I said sorry because the teacher told me to. I was not sorry. You were being a real prick. Feel free to tear up now.
4. You are of average height. When I call you short, I mean relative to me.
5. Do you still have that friendship necklace I gave you? I'm sorry, I lost my half. Secretly, I feel like you somehow know that and that's the reason we don't speak anymore.
6. I am actually really sad that after next week, we're probably never going to speak again.
7. Okay, here's the thing. I am currently speaking with someone. If you want to speak with them, you have to wait patiently until you can interject. It is not okay to start chanting their name to get their attention three seconds into the conversation. I obviously have more to say than I can possibly blurt in a three second time period, thank you very much.

8. No, I did not say nor indicate you could take my french fries. If you had asked politely, that would have been a different story. Your entitlement is driving me up the wall.
9. I was the one who stole your miniature bunny figurine in grade one. It's the only physical object I've ever stolen ever, and it still keeps me up at night sometimes. I sent you a letter in grade seven to apologize for it but I think you moved.
10. I was the one who was chewing all the classroom pencils. No, I wasn't food deprived. I just really enjoyed doing it right under your nose, and not getting caught because you loved me so much you didn't bother to watch for me. If it makes you feel any better, all the germs I ingested made me sick like six times that year.Whoops.
