I think you are a deep thinker and extremely self reflective. A valued trait in such a self absorbed society. You are sweet natured and very kind to others, but I find you can tend to be too hard on yourself. ❤️
Thank-you Lady
I am "hard" on myself I think partly because I've had no guidance, my parents (divorced when I was 5) had much bigger "problems" than taking care of me and my brother...I try to be "hard' on myself, because I need the discipline I never had as a child...but I'm not doing a good job at it. Its hard to 'parent' yourself.
It seems stupid to say, but I need some guidance, some one to say "do this" (like go to bed now) simple, but for me thats huge.... I have no rational limits compared to others I don't think.
As a child I had no limits and parents with substance abuse problems. I know your not allowed to talk about drugs and stuff here (I got reprimanded for doing so) but its a thing...and as a kid with parents who had other "problems" besides my brother and I, I feel like I've had to "raise myself"...so it's taken a lot longer and I feel very immature still.
Same. I also value constructive criticism.
I don’t want the criticism. I just want a boss who knows me and wants the best for me and doesn’t mind when I occasionally tell them to go *kitten* themselves. 😄
And how's the writing going? <Cracks whip>1 -

I have a friend who's somewhat active in that genre, I'll see if she has any insight and pass it on to you if she knows of anybody with open calls right now1 -

K, you guys just lazy tagged me and shitz
So I feel cool interjecting!
You both writers?
Start a thread with some timbits or a blog and alert me...thanks!!2 -
So I've just caught up here.
First, excellent thread! Everyone is being really well behaved and all the goodness is on display.
I'm compelled to write for everyone, I think you're all so great in your own ways. That would take all day though so I'm gonna pick one out of a hat unless someone wants to volunteer?2 -
@Bullet_with_Butterfly_Wings - Amazing mom, strong, resilient, been through hell and still coming out strong. Gorgeous, sweet, and has a big heart, with a beautiful singing voice that rivals Amy Lee. Totally gets me and sometimes I feel like we are sisters in spirit.
@slimgirljo15 - Kind, genuine, welcoming. Very supportive and honest. Funny and easy to talk to. Willing to show anyone her basement. Pretty sure she gives great hugs.
I haven't interacted with a lot of people on here.... but I lurk a lot.
@caco_ethes and @Vikka_V I love reading all your posts. They make me smile for different reasons.
Also, I love Vikka's ramblings. I do the same!
@Behindblue_eyes - sweet, genuine, gorgeous eyes
@your_future_ex_wife - hilariously dirty mind, kind, welcoming, smoking hot booty
@George_of_the_Jungle - nipple rings.8 -

always willing to volunteer, although you might not have any clue about me, since i have rarely seen you on threads i post in
Correct, I only really see you in the Fun-n-games side, but.....
Over there you are hilarious, kind, and supportive without being creepy or too forward. In those threads, that is sayin something0 -

@Reckoner68 (you are at the top of the page and I didn't have a hat around) Deep thinker. your soul has been tormented. Extremely intelligent in both academics and common sense. A ripe smart *kitten* too.2

100% truth. lol
But I felt the nips needed a special shout out.1 -
Interesting thread.
Feel free...0 -
I'll give this a shot - start with @1sphere since he kinda birthed the idea of this thread into @caco_ethes head
1sphere - seems to be laid back , a bit of an over thinker but I enjoy reading his insights on things as they are often vastly different than anything in my own head
caco_ethes funny as hell - always enjoy reading your quick witted post - we have a similar since of humor although my wit is not as rapid fire as yours
1 -
@slimgirljo15 - you are friendly and make everyone feel a little more comfortable being here
@JeromeBarry1 - you seem conservative and I find myself agreeing with most of your posts. I can see you becoming the little old man in the nursing home who simultaneously gets to know all the workers and always asks how the kids are doing while also swearing at the staff when they call you on doing stuff you aren’t supposed to be doing. You’d definitely be everyone’s favorite resident.
@caco_ethes - I love your threads. I definitely see you as a minimalist. And this is going to sound silly, but when you changed your profile picture I found myself wondering if you threw away another shirt to make room for the one in the new picture since the closet was getting a little too cluttered for you.2 -
@Cowsfan1 You already know this, but we relate a lot. Good dad. Sports information source. Likes a good beer and by good I mean any you hand him that he doesn't pay for. Clever and quicker than you give yourself credit for. All around stand up dude. Glad to call you friend.2
-
I'm strugglin, cause while I want to reciprocate, my perceptions of people are for some reason really intimate to me and it's tough to just throw them out there.
I mean, I could just skim the surface and throw some stuff out there, but that feels like lying somehow.
Sorry!4 -

Thank you! And i hate to say this but I’m really not feeling very minimalistic lately. I have more clothes than i ever have 🤦🏼♀️
It tends to go in cycles for me though. So to answer your musing.. nope, didn’t throw out a shirt and i in fact purchased about a dozen others to go with the new one2 -
I use to wonder how people percieved me, now i dont care lol6

Interesting thread.
Feel free...
OK person I don’t know, I’ll give it a shot.
You are adventurous and up for a good game and lively conversation. You appreciate people who push back a bit. There is a dark side to you that few get to witness but it is there coloring all of your interactions nonetheless.
How’d I do?2 -
@caco_ethes I'm still writing yours. So far I've only made 3 Star Wars references.... so far...3
-
@George_of_the_Jungle lover of Red Bull and m&m’s and not one to share either - very level headed dude whose perspective on things I appreciate.
@Miss_Chievous_ cool *kitten* tattooed chick that may be my music soul mate if there is such a thing - very soft spoken and kind - and a bad @ss
@your_future_ex_wife bad *kitten* chick from New York that says what’s on her mind but never in a confrontational way - Expresses her own and accepts others opinions readily- poses some thought provoking questions to her friends in hopes of a good BS session
@imago and @Reckoner68 I see as intellects ones who at a party you’d find at a table with a bottle of whiskey discussing the which alien movie is the best and why -

I cannot say that any of that is incorrect.1 -
I know how I come across in real life to people when we first meet or become acquainted because down the road as we become closer, I usually get the same comments from anyone who's gotten to know me better...no idea how I come off on the interwebs...1

@Cowsfan1 Very kind, good dad, great taste in music 😜 you have a way of making everyone feel welcomed around here and I admire that. Non judgmental.All around... you just seem like a very good person, I didn't need time to observe you to see that (not trying to be creepy 😂) I got a good vibe from you right away. Keep on being you dude 😘3
