I...Oh gosh, I'm with you on the drinking thing. I'm either buzzed enough to feel fuzzy and happy or plastered xD I don't mind it though.<br />My anxiety does the same thing (as your ocd) it puts thoughts into me that don't feel like me at all. It's frustrating, and difficult to deal with.<br /><3 xoAmanda Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155563428131030883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366876219205459278.post-2657857374198482842014-02-05T10:33:23.456-05:002014-02-05T10:33:23.456-05:00I feel like I don't hide much. I'm not sur...I feel like I don't hide much. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I've been told by therapists that it's bad, that I share too much. I probably do, especially on my blog. But whatev.<br /><br />1. I swear - loads.<br />2. I smoke.<br />3. When I drink, I either drink enough that I'm calm and relaxed, but if not? I get extremely drunk. (This has luckily only happened three times.) <br />4. I get loads of acne.<br />5. I get mad easily, even if people are giving me only constructive criticism. Criticism is something I cannot handle. <br />6. I have a hard time making choices.<br />7. To be honest, I have a hard time doing much by myself. I always need help, or reassurance.<br />8. I have dentures, and I had ill-fitting ones since I was 17. Last year, my dentist gave me a free, brand new pair. Now I love them.<br />9. Definitely NOT a non-perfection, however people see this as such: I'm huge into D/s lifestyles.<br />10. Same as above: I'm a bit of a vampire. No, not the kind that can't go out into the Sun (though the Sun does burn me, but that's 'cause I'm Irish). No, I mean I am a bit sanguine and also a bit psi/energy. This has grossed people out.<br />11. I often have very crude humor. I don't share this with most people, luckily.<br />12. My OCD puts thoughts in my head that are so un-me, and only Jen and my psychiatrist/therapist is aware of.<br /><br />I'm sure there's more. :PSailor Julyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201797370322000117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366876219205459278.post-61649651061351895812014-02-02T23:56:36.012-05:002014-02-02T23:56:36.012-05:00I am obsessive with my fandoms too, no worries xD

I have scoured the internet for cures and come up empty. Everyone knows what to do with acne on their face apparently but shoulders, arms, chest, nada. <br />-I cannot sit still for the life of me. I loathe watching TV most of the time because I can't stand the time being wasted. I can't relax and taking a moment to do anything non-productive makes my anxiety go balls to the walls. I feel awful when I can't force my brain to be okay with stopping to spend time with others. <br />-I would rather be writing/making jewelry than being around 90% of people. Fact. <br />-My temper has gotten a lot worse, but I like to think I just speak my mind now and take no shit. <br />-I have huge manly shoulders that just don't know what to do with themselves. I will never wear a women's blouse and its just something I accepted a while ago. <br />-I have screwed up teeth from a blow to the jaw from a basketball when I was a kid, thats why I don't show them often.<br />-My smile (like, my lips/face/laugh lines) are crooked because I would chew the left side of my cheek constantly to stop myself from fighting with people. I do it at times when I'm frustrated with work just out of habit, and thats why I chew gum so much. <br />I love you just the way you are <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261324977848670170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366876219205459278.post-57021894638988088532014-02-02T14:00:18.416-05:002014-02-02T14:00:18.416-05:00Mreow, I love you so much <3 Although I think y...Mreow, I love you so much <3 Although I think you mixed up me and Lottie's lists xD Although I do have a temper (that has gotten better though I swear, it's not nearly as bad as it used to be haha)Amanda Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155563428131030883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366876219205459278.post-44626326041922509822014-02-02T12:37:21.521-05:002014-02-02T12:37:21.521-05:00I was reading your list and throughout most of it ...I was reading your list and throughout most of it I found myself thinking "You know? I love that about her!" Like the random faces you make that you don't always notice... the fact that we both have that lazy left eye... even your temper. It reminds me you aren't perfect because I tend to forget that you aren't.. at least not to yourself. It also reminds me that if I love your imperfections, and some of them we share, I should love my own which proves harder to do every day...<br />I won't list my flaws because I know them all too well and lately I've become too focused on them maybe... but if you ever do a post about perfections I'll try to participate :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539870068764487764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366876219205459278.post-727869456529267932014-02-02T12:20:32.970-05:002014-02-02T12:20:32.970-05:00You are in fact a badass fairy pirate and don'...You are in fact a badass fairy pirate and don't let anyone tell you otherwise :D<br />Thanks for sharing lovely <3 I think it's good to say stuff like this and put it out there.

I like doing this kind of thing, so I'll share some of mine too. <br />- I also have crooked teeth, or more aptly, extra teeth. Basically I have two teeth on the top that have grown way back from where they should because as a kid I hated pulling my teeth / they never came out (I still have a few baby teeth). If you see me straight on my teeth look pretty straight, but if you see me smile from a weird angle then you can sometimes see my extras and it makes me uncomfortable. I call them my 'back fangs' affectionately, and bread gets stuck on them a lot which is annoying! In this line of thought I really hate it when people think all British people have bad teeth! <br />- My left eye is lazy, and I'm really self conscious about it. For that reason I usually turn my head when taking pictures so I'm not looking straight on, that makes it less obvious. I want to get it fixed, which would be classified as cosmetic surgery. I also have a condition called None-Conversion which means my eyes don't work at the same time, although I can see out of both eyes my body can only ever use one at once (I'm a secret pirate!)<br />- I also pull faces pretty much constantly!<br />- If somebody is bothering me / has annoyed me I tend to freeze them out completely, something I'm not particularly proud of, but it's true. Rather than tell them what they did I just ignore them. <br />- I move on from things really fast and I know some people take it the wrong way when I'm not as upset about something as they think I should be. Not really a non-perfection since this is other people's perceptions projected onto me, but I thought I'd share :) <br />- I have a temper and I really admire when people stay calm in situations where people get in their face because I know I wouldn't be able to.
