/dev/random: Various questions, answered.

[silveradept]

In lieu of actual content, because it's late and Monday and I'm not there yet, have a serially escalating piece of categories.

1. One Insecurity: That there isn't actually anyone who likes me, and all y'all are just pretending because it's polite.


2. Two Fears: That my existence and memory will disappear entirely after a couple of generations, and that there will never be an end to the unplanned expenses such that I will remain in debt forever. (There are existential ones, as well, about the human ability to destroy itself, but those we don't confront because they are ultimately out of my hands as to whether they happen, which can be terrifying all of its own accord.)


3. Three Turn-Ons: Following along with terrible puns and wordplay, a pleasing figure to the eyes, and/or a person who is confident in themselves.


4. Four Life Goals: Get Out Of Debt, Pay Off All Debts, Repay All The Loans, and Have Enough In The Bank To Retire When Desired.


5. Five Things I Enjoy: Playing Games, Conversing With Friends, Accumulating Ultimately Worthless Experience Points, Story Time (oh so much), Writing Stories


6. Six Weaknesses: Impostor Syndrome, Wide-Band Emotional Outbursts, Allergies, Depression, Tall-Poppy Experiences, Generally Thinks Good of People


7. Seven Things I Adore: My Dearest Kitten (even though she's a frustrating little hacker), Story Time, Someone Leaving Happy Feedback, Serendipity, Good Stories, Hugs, and The Look On Someone's Face When They've Gained Skills Or Knowledge Becaue Of You.

Cat hair. It really gets everywhere.

Hi. I like you. :D

This is an interesting format.

[silveradept]

Thanks for saying it.

The original had "five likes" and "seven loves", but the person who I cribbed from didn't really like having to parse that way, so I did some synonym substitution to make things hopefully better and more enjoyable.

[redsixwing]

I know blank statements like that don't always help with the weasel wrangling, but in case it does...

I think I like your version better.

[sithjawa]

Yeah, I like your tweak... less vague, more evocative, easier to come up with things.

[silveradept]

I thought much of the same, although it wasn't necessarily that easy to come up with things I adore.

[sithjawa]

7 was a lot of things to adore, and then I came up with 8 and had to figure out which one to leave out.

[sithjawa]

Oh dear, has hacker kitty hacked any more things lately?

[silveradept]

Less "hacked," more "has developed a taste and desire for tipping cans to get at things she thinks are food."

[sithjawa]

Oh dear. Destructive kitty!

Guess who has started shredding empty bags of Cheetos and licking cheese wrappers.
