I wouldn't like me if I met me...

Ear Candy: "You Wouldn't Like Me" by Tegan and Sara

I have always known that I am not perfect. That there are things about me that I am not incredibly fond of. I know there are things I don't do well, things I could improve on. But it is not until these things are put in front of me in black and white, in the words of someone whose opinion matters most to me, that I have decided that there is something wrong with me that can no longer be ignored. I have often spent time re-evaluating myself and my personal character after conflicts with other people, and usually the conclusion I reach is that I kick ass and they can't handle it. However, the common denominator in all of these scenarios is me, and maybe there is something to be said for that. Plus, it feels different when the negative opinion is one that I actually care about. So, rather then completely giving up on myself, I have decided to put together a little MTV Made project for myself, only I am not going to put it on tv, because those people look sad.

To Do List:
- learn to take criticism better
- learn to listen to others better
- begin to conquer my fear of failure
- get over my fear of looking stupid in front of other people
- play my drums better (where other people can witness it)
- calm down
- do something new and exciting just for me once a week.

I think that this has the potential to be good. At the very least, it is something to get me out of bed.

I'm sorry I never got back to you on Facebook about hanging out! Ahg!

Friday is very busy... It's Art Murmur, which is when all the galleries in Oakland open up for free. I have to work at the RPS gallery (where some of my art is hanging ahhhh!) that night...

I know you'll be visiting your grandma earlier, but if you wanted to bring some other folks to hang out with so you wouldn't have to awkwardly stand around while I was working that'd be fun! There's an afterparty at my house later, too, so we can all hang out for realsies then.

Whatever you wanna do! Otherwise, I should have more free time in the next couple weeks, meant for spending with y-o-u.

My word verification thing for posting this comment was "langlo." I'm sorry, that just sounds like a really funny word. Eh.
