I need to warn everyone...

[conuly]

I'm really bad with compliments. I'm still getting used to the idea that I have 100+ people who like to read what I write up here, while my perfectionist brain is going "it could be better! Polish this! Strenghten that!" all the time. So, when my friends and people I generally like/admire tell me they trust me, or they think I'm intelligent, or that I'm funny, my normal reaction will be stunned disbelief. That's because I'm a perfectionist, not because I actually disbelieve you, because if you tell me something you don't mean, you will regret it.

Sorry about that. This is an open invitation to tell me what annoys you about me, by the way, or to tell me why you read/like me. I'll turn off IP logging in a bit. Yes, I'm greedy for attention, humor me please?

And another question, that last essay is long and I can't figure out where to put in cuts. Any ideas, tell me, it's bothersome to scroll down so much.

I know that all too well... things never turn out the way I imagined them or wanted them to turn out in the first place, so if someone happens to like it, I'm usually surprised, and that is often understood as fishing for compliments... although I am sincerely surprised, and sincerely can't believe they like it. *sigh* And yet, if no one says anything at all, I'm disappointed as well - "See, it's really as bad as you think it is..."

So, what do I like about you? Pretty much what I read, since I don't know more about you. What I read from you, however, I usually like. So there. ;)
