Odd confessions.

I use some weird and occasionally antiquated turns of phrase on a daily basis. Most common being "Begone from my sight".

[citation needed]

I've gotten so sick of books and movies about imaginative young girls who are abused until they're no longer innocent or else killed off for no reason, to the point where I've specifically begun writing a book to subvert that kind of story.

Yeah that's pretty gross.

I almost never read books I buy. But I read books I get from the library. -_-

emphasis mine, but it is literally part of the lyrics.

smokeycut Yay! You have good ideas. ^_^

What are some examples of books like that? I'm really awful at keeping up with reading books.

Bridge To Terabithia is the first to come to mind. There's also the movie Tideland.

Ah, makes sense now.

Well I wish you luck on your book.

I like Bridge to Terabithia but understand why the trend would be a turn-off.

And what relevance does that have to literally anyone who isn't the singer? That song reeks of Contemplate Our Navels.

and in that case it might actually be. you just hit the nail on the head, partially: the entire point of songwriting is to say "well here's my experience" but it is intrinsically coupled with "...and i wonder of anyone else feels the same. this isn't a comprehensive analysis of all music everywhere but in general, if the songwriter is talking about his own experiences then he's probably just trying to empathize or sympathize with the listeners. music is a collaborative effort by the creator and his fans to see of it means as much to the listener as the emotions did to the writer.

for the sake of the thread as a whole, i'm going to stop here. i don't get the impression that people are enjoying looking at this dialogue.

I am kind fom similar but it has to do with more being a procrastinator and a slow reader in general.

I admit it: When I was younger (around the mid-to-late 2000's), I had several Sonic the Hedgehog OCs. But I never had them interact with any pre-existing Sonic characters. Instead, I made up completely different stories for them. Perhaps it was because I didn't know about shipping or slash fics back then. I was so innocent...

Anyway, as you can imagine, I'm very excited for the character creator (among other things) in Sonic Forces. But if I get the game, instead of trying to recreate one of my old characters, I want to create a new one.

I bought into the Candy Crush nonsense. Until it gave me one bad setup too many in an attempt to make me spend more money on it. Then I deleted it, and my hatred of match-3 games grew.

I remember playing Snood as a kid. So I was doing match-three games before they became cool.

I know my weight (175 lb), but not my exact height. I know I'm somewhere between 5'7"-5'10", but I don't know what it is exactly.

I hate almost every song by Ed Sheeran...

...except Castle on the Hill, which actually is one of my all time favorite songs.

My spirit animal is most likely a turtle.

If I was in a video game or something, I wouldn't want to be the protagonist. I'd rather be an NPC who takes care of the hero, like Toriel.

Whenever I don't understand something the kids are up to, I do a 'You Kids These Days' style rant, but eventually go to a really silly extreme by saying 'And your mitosis and your cell membranes and your amino acids...' just for the fun of it.

DrNoPuma: You're tall enough to go on all the good rides. That's what counts!

I get another attempt at the steroid injection in my neck. This time, I'll be under IV conscious sedation. That means I'll be trippin balls. I'm really looking forward to that part. For all the pain and discomfort this stupid injury has caused me, I better get super high.

I'm scared of most amusement park rides, though. Especially roller coasters. Which I guess is weird, considering how much I like clowns and circuses.

I wish I could help everyone on the "Insecurity, Sadness, Anxiety, and such matters II", but I'm afraid their problems are too deep for me to fully understand.

I dislike most roller coasters. I'm not afraid of them, but so many flip upside-down and that gives me motion sickness. And I'm not especially fond of throwing up.

I'm fine with any non-upside-down-flipping rides though; I can even go on that Gravitron thing that spins you around like a centrifuge. (Why flipping upside down makes me vomit and being centrifuged does not, I don't know. )

When I was younger, I loved spinny rides. Now I can't do them, I get motion sickness. It makes me so sad. My favorite ride ever was the Troika, and now it makes me sick. :(

I still love roller coasters, within reason. I can't ride them too often. You know that note on the sign that says guests with neck and back problems shouldn't ride? Well. I have neck problems. I asked my doctor if I could still do roller coasters, and he said, "Only the really cool ones, because you might get a muscle spasm, and you'd want it to be worth it."

All of this leads into a confession. I have an Office Lady job right now. It pays the bills, has good benefits, and it does not suck. But every summer, I wish I could go back and work at the amusement park again. I miss it so much! I just want to put on my polo and khakis and run rides again! T-T (And I'd like to do it with the energy I had in my 20s)
