Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

1. Be smart. Don't be an asshole about being smart, but show me you're intelligent and I will automatically pay more attention to you.
2. Be kind. Go out of your way to be nice to other people-- not even necessarily me, just other people in general. Genuinely decent people are amazing.
3. Compliment me about something I do. I also respond well to being complimented on my appearance, but it makes a lot more of an impact if you say you like my podfic or my writing or something that requires a brain, not just a body.
4. Give me a backrub. I will be yours within five minutes of starting a really good backrub.
5. Cook for me. It doesn't have to be anything complicated, either. Actually, making me anything works: food, a music mix, a story, a drawing, I'll love anything that's done specifically for me.
6. Listen to me. I go off on tangents sometimes. Just pay attention to what I'm saying. It's okay if you tease me when I lose my train of thought or stop making sense, just... don't ignore me.
7. Like the things I like. We don't have to have everything in common, but sharing taste in music/movies/TV/books is a good place to start, and I do love suggesting things based on what you already like. Take my suggestions once in a while, engage with me on some fannish topic, and you've got me hooked.
8. Be unattainable. Yes, I realize this is self-defeating, but it seems like the people I want the most are always the ones I can't have for some reason.


day 22| catharsis time— let something or someone go

I still harbor a little bit of resentment towards Kristin for what she said to me in May 2008. I need to let go of it. I've basically forgiven her but I still get a little bit pissed off when I think about it... it's not worth the negativity. I'm done with being upset about something that happened so long ago. (it helps that I'm making a new best friend, though.)
