Day Three Hundred and Forty-Four:  Things To Know Before You Stay

While parousing tumblr on a “study break” I found this honest post that had a bunch of notes and it was just a list of things people should know before they “stay,” and I think it was meant for a romantic relationship but sometimes I think that just people who are getting to know me and want to be my friend should know some things.  These are things I would want to know about anyone else, too.

-I am very stubborn and really like to get my way, but I can compromise if willed to.
-I don’t really like dressing up for Halloween but I’ll carve pumpkins!
-I’d prefer a tea or coffee date over doing  just about anything else.  I have friendships solely based on the amount of refills we have of our tea when together.
-I Sometimes I don’t want to talk about what’s wrong, but if I do eventually I just need someone to listen to me, I don’t need advice unless I ask for it.
-I don’t like to be the only one contributing information/leading conversations, it’s exhausting, put a little effort in.
-Lord of the Rings drinking game is totally an acceptable drinking night.
-Alternatively if we go to a bar and you haven’t had a Rocky Mountain Bear Fucker you are going to have to try one, sorry about that, it’s just how it goes.
-I am sometimes a wall of sound and could talk for an hour without stopping if let, but if you want to say something I will listen, I’m just full of things to say, always.
-And if I don’t have anything to say don’t be offended, it means I like to listen to you/just sit with you.
-I talk about my siblings a lot, if you’ve never met them you will soon feel like you know them well.
-I dig music, I’m protective of the music I love, and am judgment of the things I don’t like. I like to sign and dance and am an ADD on my itunes.
-I enjoy being a student but complain about it a lot.  Learning is so cool, but I’d rather be challenged than bored.
-Yes I’m a Blackberry and no I don’t want to fight about it.
-I have a big sweet tooth but a sensitive tummy, so if you’ve made me cookies and I only eat one or save them for another day I’ve probably already had my share of sweeties today.
-I am terrible at parties.  I never know where to be or who to talk to unless I specifically go with someone.  The last few parties I’ve been to have been not so great, and it all depends on what happens before or how I feel I’m fitting in.  If I don’t want to come to your party I am sorry, it’s not because I don’t like you, it’s because it’s more stressful for me if I do.
-I sometimes think I am brilliant and other times think I’m the dumbest person alive. It’s all relative.

This was just a weird idea I had last night, looking back it is kind of still weird, but, well, that’s just how it goes now I guess.  Thanks to all of the friends who make it worthwhile to leave the house.
