GIP and some color/b&w icons

First off, we have a Frodo GIP.

*sighs*

The big thing at the moment are mixed color/b&w icons, which my mind has labeled 'Pleasantville' icons. And since I occasionally jump on trend trains:
( 1 buffy, 3 xander, 7 b/x, 1 justin, 2 lance )

I'm not a reliable person.

I do try, but I'm not reliable. I don't answer post or emails for days at a time sometimes. I almost never go on aim. I don't post comments anywhere near as much as I'd like.

I don't have one of the best qualities of a friend, because I'm not State Farm and I'm not dependable. I'm much more a Buffy than a Xander and Buffy definitely has a better handle on the friendship than I do.

I do have many good qualities. I'm funny. I'm polite. I'm good with children.

But I'm still very much a kid, despite being 20. I'm not reliable.

I guess the reason that I'm posting this is to say that if I don't respond to you, it's almost certainly not personal. I probably saw something shiny and got distracted. Or I couldn't get on my mom's computer (my own computer shuts down when more than one internet window is open - which happens automatically when I respond to comments).

Which doesn't excuse the many times that I take forever to do something or fail to do at all. It's not an excuse, it's just an explanation.

It's not you, it's me. That kinda thing. It's not personal.

I actually do have a brain that officially works on scatter. Scatter... something. There's an actual word for it. I can't find words, I forget things unless I mark it down three ways from Tuesday. I have a five-page report on it somewhere.

Since I'm talking about friends anyway...

There are some people on my friendslist that... dude, it just amazes me every day that they have me friended. I look at the stuff they do and think what do they get out of having me friended?

So. Much love for all of you. Much, much love. I'd do a list of the whys but I have 116 mutual friends and only a little over two hours til Smallville. I'll do it when I have more time. Like, all day.

Everyone I have friended is there because I like them. I like their sense of humor or their conversation or their fic or just because reading their entries makes me smile and makes the whole day just that much brighter.

Cluttered thinking...

Found that report I mentioned. It's actually 'cluttered' not 'scattered'. A bit different.

I've been reading it over. I had it done end of my junior year in high school. Reading through my 'data base' information I ran across "She had straight A's her freshman year at school and had lots of friends. Towards the end of the year her friends ostracized her and since that time she has had increasing problems with self image, mood and weight." Which made me tear up. I don't like to remember that people liked me freshman year. It makes it feel easier if I can just pretend that I was never well-liked. And I was. I wasn't 'popular' but I was well-liked. Which made what happened later feel so much worse.

And this: "When asked what she would want if she had three wishes, she said that there would be no pollution, people would care about animals and that she would have more initiative."

"In spite of a rather rambling and disorganized approach, this is a young lady who has an extraordinary memory and a remarkable capacity to learn details. It is likely that her tendency to be disorganized interferes with the efficiency of her learning."

"On the House-Tree-Person drawing, we find a young woman who has some ambivalence about her sexuality and some feelings of inadequacy."

I really haven't changed all that much. I've become more self-aware over the years and thus happier, but I haven't really changed in any way.

Thank you, Wil Wheaton!

About half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo! Network", you'll see a little "click here" link that will let you opt-out of their new method of snooping. You may want to do this. Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out.

Sneaky little devils!

Smallville, first impressions
