life reminders for the memory-impaired.

when did we start this crazy game?

When's the last time that we kissed good night?
I wanna know who you're laughing with;
I wanna know that there's more than this.
But all in all, it's all the same.
It goes on and on...






Hello! I'm not sure if anyone reads my blogger anymore, I would assume if you read either my blogger or tumblr, you'd read the tumblr since I update there more. Regardless...

I watched this show called "The Fashion Show" yesterday [lame]. And at the beginning of the show, this man Merlin and a girl were arguing, and he ends up saying like, "Male domination bitch. Get it." And near the very end of the show, she looks very upset when they win, and the judges ask why she's scowling. She says, "Well, it's just because he told me to shut up because of male domination." And he responds to this with "What? You misunderstood me. You must've heard me wrong. That's not what I meant." These are the people that I get very close to hating. So I hope none of you ever dare tell me you didn't say something when you did.

Fact: Humans are flawed. Very flawed.
Jansen said to me once that I shouldn't see flaws in people, but I see flaws in everyone. They're undeniably everywhere to be found! But he says "How can a person's way of living be a flaw?"
Still wrong.
And everyone else in the world doesn't say this, per se, but they imply it and display it through their actions. People that do know the flaws in humans lose respect for them. They distrust them, dislike them, speak slander of them, quarrel with them, grow angry at them.
But they're wrong as well.
The truth is, everyone in the world is full of endless countless flaws, and the other truth is that we have to accept this. All this drama is caused by people's actions, which for the most part, is caused by them as a person. And their flaws. And we should be able to understand that maybe they don't mean it or maybe we're taking it the wrong way or maybe it isn't that much of a deal. We should be big enough people to realize our own flaws and accept everyone else's as well.
No one should try to change the way anyone else is and they shouldn't be able to criticize their actions and expect them to do what they want them to do. I mean, this excludes like, the act of murdering and such.

Something I saw on Kesiree and Erin's tumblrs inspired me. It's something I'd like to do. So now I shall copy them.

Dear You,
You need to think before you act. And think about what you've done. No one's mad at you. You're taking things too seriously. But I'll admit you have made some massive mistakes. Brutal honesty isn't the best way to go, but lying to your close friends isn't either. Find a balance. It's never all or nothing. It's as if we can't have any relationship other than "really close" or "never talking." All this stuff that's going on- don't blame this on yourself. Don't blame it on others, either. And don't leave us. Believe it or not, everyone in this group still needs you. I know I do.

Dear You,
-You might be one of the people that tries to change what they've previously said [as I discussed earlier]. You're drawing out drama from where it doesn't exist. Bringing out problems with no need for them. This bothers me. Stop it. Ever heard the phrase, "Takes a hypocrite to know a hypocrite?" [it's something John Lennon said] Well, it's true. And highly, highly applies to you. The way you act and things you do irk a large majority of people. I hate hearing them talk behind your back, but I find it somewhat understandable. I love you but you can be hateable.

Dear You,
I can't believe you. I can't believe you would do this. After everything. Everything that I knew you as. You basically threw a lot of it away. You were the one person that wasn't like everyone else, to me. You were like a role model or a hero. I looked up to you and I wanted to change because seeing you, I knew [or thought I did] that it wasn't necessary to be that way. And then you went and did this and all I can say is wow. My disappointment lies in everyone else too, for letting this happen. I thought maybe they'd feel the same way about you. Apparently not.

Dear You,
You frustrate me more than most people do. Low self-esteem is not even just a problem with you, it's as if you have a disorder. You always say you think the world is out to get you, that everyone's conspiring against you, but you're dead wrong. People freaking love you. They adore you. So shut up about that crap. And I think we disagree/argue too much. I'm not sure why. I'm trying to stop doing that. Maybe if we don't even argue much, it seems like it to me because I rarely argue with anyone. Yeah, so I never want to hear you say anything negative about yourself, damn it.

Dear You,
You're really biased. I'll never admit it to you, but you are. Your definition of things are changed based on what you do or don't like, pretty much. In fact, you have a lot of definition problems. Like "love." You use that word too loosely. Even if you don't think so. You'd probably deny all this, because you always deny any flaws I can mention about you, even when you ask me to tell you your flaws so that you can be a better person. You're very compassionate and caring, but don't lose sight of the world around you. Being more self-serving would also be good for you.

Dear You,
I'm not trying to justify it, but the reason that person has issues with you is because you come off as having it all. I don't feel the same way as her, but I want to explain it. You have a lot that other people envy, and you don't brag, but I've seen you bring up things not everyone wants to hear without being asked once or twice. It kind of irks me too. Because to me, you're amazing. You are the closest to perfect anyone gets. But maybe that's just because I don't know certain things about you, since we don't seem to talk as much anymore.

Dear You,
I used to have plenty of problems with you, but not as much lately. I absolutely despise it when you bring up things that don't need to be brought up. Like personal issues that you mention slightly and then don't go into depth with or upsetting comments that make me feel bad, or stupid or useless. You think you've changed but in my opinion, you really haven't at all. You're stubborn beyond belief to a point where I don't even know how to speak to you or convince you of pure and utter truth. You're hypocritical, you expect too much, and you need to grow up.

Dear You,
You're always saying you have no one to talk to, but ever think maybe it's because you don't speak up? You even said one of your closest friends barely knows you. How can you let that happen? I've told you I'm here if you need to talk countless times, but you rarely talk to me and then you complain you have no one to talk to. Sigh. What bothers me about you is that you're always disagreeing with what people say. You have this smirk about your face and stand-offish tone about your voice that actually kind of scares me, come to think of it. Always trying to be correct.

Well, I think the point of these is to not tell the people you're talking to which ones they are. So yeah, I don't plan on telling anyone (:
Re-reading this, I probably sound like a big hypocrite, hahaha.
