ok
I’ve asked for people to send in opinions of me, anonymous or not, and I’m not allowed to respond, only publish. So….yeah.
S: A random fact about myself
I have a condition known as Marfan’s Syndrome which causes connective tissues to be generally thinner and weaker than normal. Though it means that heart issues (among other problems) are much more likely, it also makes me long-limbed and abnormally flexible in some areas.
O: My eye color
I have grey-blue eyes
A: Why my last relationship ended
I’ve never been in a relationship, really, and I can only hope for the best with vaeyla. In middle school, though, I had a crush on a long time friend and she said that she would go out with me, broke up with me out of boredom a couple days later, and then went out with my best friend for the better part of a year.
P: Why I hate school
I don’t hate school, per se. I dislike the amount of time it sucks up more often than not, and I am definitely not a fan of the American education system (DAMN YOU NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND), but I don’t ‘hate’ school.
One can only hope.
For perspective, I consider myself a novelist, and would pursue that further. I have one novel self-published and on the market, another drafted, and dozens more percolating in my head.
I work in a supermarket during the day, and have been there for nearly 6 years. Doing such has granted me the unwelcome realization that people either refuse to or even can’t read any more, at least casually. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to explain to a customer that they were wrong because they looked only at the bright colors and big numbers, and paid no attention to the clearly written product a price is referring to.
My dominion within the store is the dairy department, and within the cooler where customers aren’t meant to enter we have had a cardboard sign with ‘WINNING’ written on it against the back wall. Today, a regional manager came in for a walk-through and demanded that the sign be taken down because he thought it said 'Whining’.
This is a fairly minor thing, but for a person who’s job it is to represent a company to be incapable of reading a sign that had been up for years (this wasn’t just a quick glance, it was explained to him) disheartens me.
I still love writing, when I have the passion to work on it, and I have no intention on stopping because people don’t read, but it’s just sad to see that people don’t anyway.
It’s days like today that make me think I’ve pursued the wrong profession…
Soon after hatching, yes. Yes they are.
Random mod/dog pic is random, and Mischief is camera-shy.
