I writes darn good.

I'm pretty smart.

I no longer believe I am ugly, and I like this.

(oh boy, it's getting hard now) I have attracted and kept some very good friends.

I'm done agonizing over "should I say it, will I look like a weirdo?" and now I says it, and I'm fine with lookin' like a weirdo.

I used to be able to play the piano and someday I hope to be able to again.

(now i feel like i'm making shit up and not sticking to the spirit of the thing) I'm not yet as overweight as I might be, with my genes.

My hair finally looks as good as it should.

I no longer have to deal with the teenage hormones that convinced me everything hurt way more than it should, especially having crushes on unattainable people.

8: talk about the thing you are most proud ofi'm really proud of how college has gone for me so far. i've got a high gpa, done several shows, and built an amazing friend group, all in one year. i'm shit at adapting to new situations so i was terrified for college, but everything has gone beautifully and i'm proud of how well i've adjusted.

20: talk about something that happened in high schoolafter prom, our massive group of like 20 people went to one of our friends' dad's sports complex. we stayed up all night playing board games and eating and running around. at like 7 in the morning, we all drove home, and my sister read everyone in the car 'go the fuck to sleep'.

33: talk about what you do when you are sadwatch the dance sequence from (500) days of summer. go through my happy tag. eat. sleep. wallow. binge watch tv.

I LOVE YOU. AND PREACH IT.

(Because Tinuelena asked for it.)

I learned this from talking to artists that I idolized. They all think they're mediocre. I've never met a really good anything who wasn't convinced she/he was actually just okay. After two minutes, at most, it all comes out. "I always get the composition wrong." "My hands suck." "I don't know how to shade in color." "It's only ever going to be a hobby--I'm just not good enough." 

The trick is that everyone is always comparing their finished pieces to what they'd imagined it might be, and there's always a string of differences and things that didn't get absolutely nailed. You can see just how far you fell short of your goal.

Well, you know what? Fuck that. Because you are the only person who can see inside your head. You're the only person who knows that you wanted the fingers to be be muscular, or wanted that red to be more vibrant, or whatever. Everyone else is only seeing what you actually got down on paper/canvas, etc. They don't know that you meant to do something else, and they have every right to like what you did for its own sake.

You can liveblog and squee in my askbox ANYTIME. Even if I have no idea what we're talking about, I'll jump around with you. :)

My first karaoke experience was when I was 10 years old. I sang “The Sign.” I am old with you.

I SAW THE SIGN

AND IT OPENED UP MY EYES

I SAW THE SIGN

NO ONE'S GONNA DRAG YOU UP

YOU ARE IN MY TOWN WHAT IS THIS MAGIC? DO I GET TO SEE YOU? I MISS YOUUUUUUUUU GOD DAMN IT!
