10 Things I Hate About You (Sorta)

Meme ganked from draxar:

Take ten people on your friends list and write something about them, preferably something that you wouldn't be able to say to their face.

Don't tell anybody who's who.

1) I'm through beating myself up over your bullshit.

2) You are my friend and everything, but there are no words for how much some of the things you do and say, and a lot of your behaviour, just irritates the piss out of me.

3) Your characters are saved from Mary Suedom only by the thinnest of margins.

4) I love you dearly, but sometimes there really is only so much of you that I can take.

5) I still kinda wish I'd tried to kiss you back then, despite knowing what the reaction would've been.

6) There are no words for how much I think your opinion sucks sometimes.

7) Seriously. Just shut up. No one cares. It's a pity, but they don't. Or I don't, anyway.

8) Do you even like me?

9) I go out of my way to avoid you. I don't like how you make me feel.

10) That excuse only goes so far.

World's Most Paranoia-Inducing Meme

Dear all,

Okay, it's disturbing to know that someone is thinking things about you that you don't know about. Gods know I'd wonder, in the privacy of my own head, if any one of my friends' comments were to do with me in any way, shape or form. But you know what? I wouldn't worry about it, no matter how bad it was. Because seriously? If it was that important - if it really mattered to our friendship - I'd have said something before now.

At the end of the day, everybody has something that they don't like about their friends. Human beings aren't perfect. They have flaws and foibles and things that make even their very best friends wish they would just go away once in awhile. Maybe they talk too much, or their priorities are whacked, or they tend to wallow in self-pity and/or misery because it's easier than actually getting out and doing something, or they avoid conflict and self-analysis to the point where they appear to be living in a vacuum. And it gets frustrating to the people around them on occasion.

But you know what? It doesn't matter. If it did, I'd be going on long vituperative rants, naming names all the while, about why this bothers me. In some cases, the subject has been broached - albeit more gently. In others, it just doesn't matter enough to bring it up. Because I like you. I like all of you. I like the ones whose posts bore me to tears. I like the ones whose RP characters make me cringe a little (because, come on; they're characters). If you're on my friends list, I want to know how you're doing because I like you and the reason I don't say these things to your face is that it doesn't matter. Just, sometimes, I like the opportunity to say it. Without names, without having to have a huge long-winded explanation and possible argument about things that, for the most part, I couldn't care less if you 'fix'.

So I ask you all, do you really want to know? One person has already said she doesn't, so I'm not going to say anything at all. Two of you have tried to make a guess. And, possibly not surprisingly, it's the one person with the least to worry about who actually asked me if any of it is about them. If you really want to know, I will tell you, but you have to promise to at least try to remember that just because I don't always think the sun shines where you piss doesn't mean that I don't like and respect you. Let's face it; I'm sure I annoy the hell out of all of you on a regular basis. If you don't think you can keep that in mind ... don't ask.

All the best,
