THE AGE OF PARANOIA IS OVER!!
today, all those "bad habits" end
... well, I figured I had to do something to celebrate the perfect score on my ICE test :P And what better way than self-improvement?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hydeon has been on my back about it for the past couple of months now, which is probably testament enough to how badly I need this. So I'm just gonna do it. No more paranoia. No more harmful self-depricating. And no more reduced pedanticism (hell, you'll need something to recognise me by after all this).
bye bye bad self *waves*

oh, and I forgot to mention that there was some slight photoshopping done to the image. No major surgery or anything, just a touchup here and there. I think that this one is unaltered... I can't remember though :S

and i dunno how he feels about me flirting with other people... probably not that great, but i figure he might as well get used to it, since i do it accidentally.
besides which, taken is the best time to flirt, so long as flirtee knows you're taken.
nothing wrong with a good dose of photoshop. i think the angle was also rather flattering.
i look good when I'm looking upwards. and there's photoshopping on all my icons too.

Yeah, accidental flirting is a serious problem. That's how I got into trouble a little over a year ago... and I didn't even like the girl "in that way". :( stupid boys. Why do they have to be so stupid?
Hmmm... now that you mention it, I do see the logic there. It's good, clean, no-strings-attached)hopefully) fun, not to mention practice.
it was originally upside down too... :D 'CUZ I'M A BAT DAMNIT!! :)

*rolls eyes* i'm the Queen of Accidental Flirt... most of the time i just have to talk to a guy, show interest in him, and either he gets the wrong idea, or every woman in the room is telling me off about how he WILL get the wrong idea.
funny thing is that i flirt very differently if i am interested in someone... my friends i'm hyper-huggy and so on, happy to be outrageously suggestive and the like. I do flirt if i'm interested in someone, but a far better indicator is probably that i take time to not flirt...
*makes face* I'm probably a relationship disaster zone... most of my close friends are male, and the closest of them are also ex-boyfriends. Not a recipe for making any boyfriend feel secure... Particularly since, in the case of Will, i have complete and total physical trust towards him. Aside from wondering how a boyfriend would cope, i have no problem with Will removing my clothing for the purposes of applying massage oil; I go to his place and we curl up together for hours, mostly sleeping... I know where i stand with him, he's the last person who'd make a move on me, and it should be all good.
Unfortunately i think the only guy who could cope with his girlfriend having a friendship like that is Will... and having dated him, he's too laissez-faire for my taste. oops... :s
sorry, braindump there. what think ye of the situation, anyhow? i've got opinions from Superior Married Women, but only one guy as yet, and he's another ex-boyfriend so might be biased.
anyway, am looking forward to not having to stress so much about people taking things the wrong way, should i ever get to the stage when i'm widely known to be Securely Taken.
given that i'm taken and you're in a men phase, i suggest we call it a Flirting Practice Agreement :p
upside down? what on earth were you doing, strange man?

It's the "mostly sleeping..." part I'm worried about there. :P
what think ye of the situation, anyhow? - if you're talking about the "Amy and Will" situation, I don't know. I mean, I think it's cool that you have someone that close to you, who can get that close to you without it being "like that".
And I'm kinda jealous of those friendships anyway, not ever having had one like that myself. (This isn't me being self-pitying, just stating facts.) Most of my friendships are fairly shallow, or still only fresh. My closest friend is
and maybe drop the soap a few too many times", and I reply s.t.f.u. :D I'm so glad I don't live in an American t.v. show/movie and attend such a school - they're always being made to shower together *shudder*. That's a little more of my friends than I would have needed to know, thanks.hmm, it seems you aren't the only one able to braindummp :P
Ok, but I'm crap at flirting when I'm supposed to be. I can talk dirty/suggestively/in innuendo, but I'm crap at proper flirting. Maybe someday I'll thank this Agreement for landing me a beau.
Oh, you know ;) LoL. No no, nothing like that. It was my phone that was upside down, and as my phone is my camera, the image produced was upside down. I don't know why I added that bit really. Just being my usual Random David self, I guess :P

nah, that's actually the biggest sign of how much i trust the man... I have a thing about people being in the same ROOM when i'm asleep, let alone right next to me.

maybe the fact that it has been like that makes the difference? i'd imagine crossing all those personal space barriers with a totally non-amourous person would be weird and take quite a while... but once i've established that trust, the fact that he's been through the weird shit of dating me and loves me anyway makes a big difference. I'd hate to give that up... but i worry that I'm just being selfish.
you're probably right about it being different for guys- although i'd much rather let a guy close to me than a girl. Take the sleeping thing. There's few girls i'm really comfortable sharing a room with, even on a one off basis. But there's no good excuse for not doing it... Whereas with guys there are a few who i like to have around, with whom it's comfortable to hear them breathing on the otherside of the room. But there's rarely a good excuse for sharing a room with a guy...
Girls are always showering together, removing each other's bras and then having pillow fights in naught but their knickers. GAH! Straight thoughts! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEE!
you're funny.
i'm crap at flirting when i'm supposed to be either. i think the essense of the Aggreement is that you're not going to be weirded out when my natural inability to not flirt with tall skinny geeks asserts itself :p
nothing wrong with a bit of randomosity.

ha! I trump you - I only dated because I'd already rejected her and felt guilt/pity. I think that means I'm the bigger whore.
oh wait, wrong competition.
haha - "slap" somehow became "tickle" in my mind, which became "slap and tickle", which reminded me of the Evil Gay Elmo idea I had ages ago. Wouldn't you just LoVe an Evil Gay Elmo? He wouldn't be EVIL evil, just a boozin' cruizin' ball of red fluff, who likes to swear and make inappropriate (yes - sexual) jokes. He'd only be "evil" because he'd fit into the "evil twin" category.
wait, is Will still Interested in you? Is that why you feel you're being selfish? Or have I just missed the point of that paragraph?
and... wait, you didn't explain WHY you'd rather not have a girl sleeping in the same room.
Well, I felt I had to give some show of heterosexuality, otherwise you'd think I was just making "bi" up. And putting it that way was purely for mid-night entertainment.
hey!! who ever said I was a geek? and I dunno about being tall. I'm 178cm... *shrugs* everyone has their own standards for "tall" - it is, afterall, a merely relative term. And dw, I won't be weirded out.

i did that. only i was after the whole affection/validation thing. mind you he was looking for a girl so he could prove his holiness by not having sex, much as other men prove their masculinity by having sex.
yes, i would like to see Evil Gay Elmo :D
no, will's not still interested in me... i mean selfish in the sense that it might be selfish to expect any guy i was with to be ok with that.
and... wait, you didn't explain WHY you'd rather not have a girl sleeping in the same room.
don't trust women. No, not like that, dirtbrain. I have female friends, but few of them get the total trust that some of my guy friends get. Probably because i've known too many insecure, bitchy women.
taller than me is tall enuff :p

I think we should start a petition ad send it to the owners of sesame street. Maybe they'll be willing to give us a licence to "borrow" and "enhance" Elmo?
But guys tend to be more likely to initiate practical jokes like shaving your eyebrows while you sleep, or covering your body in shaving creme. That, thankfully, hasn't happened to me, but we both know it's more likely that guys will do that sort of thing than girls. And you obviously didn't meet my friends at school. They were the bitchiest guys you could ever meet.
How tall are you?

how is it that no one has yet laid claim to you?

I have several theories:
- I am constantly surrounded by taller, more muscular, and generally more attractive males (this isn't so much a theory as almost certainly part of the problem)
- people are confused about my sexuality - girls may think I'm gay while guys may think I'm straight (this, however, is just a theory)
- no one can actually see me - I am fairly quiet, have never really thought of myself as "hot stuff", and the only times I've noticed inclass people noticing me is when I am made to answer questions (which I'm possibly too good at?) or am laughing (which they may think is directed at them)
- I am just too smexy/smart/muscularly-intimidating for them all to handle- I have a "taken" sign tatooed to my forehead (or something similar) that is only visible when I can't see it
or
- they're all stupid and don't like Glasses
