Makes Me Think - MMT #15253

Today, it has been five years since I last cut myself. Five years ago my dog, Benny, saw me cutting myself in my basement and barked hysterically until I stopped. Every time I took out a razor to cut from that point forward, before I even began, he did the same thing. Benny is my best friend and the reason I gave-up cutting. MMT

Three things you are proud of about your personality

I will never give up on you.

I believe in the goodness of people, and I look for the best in you, no matter what your reputation, or other people, or your t-shir

I love understanding how things work. So that includes the mechanism by which food is digested in the stomach with cells that produce hydrochloric acid. It also includes you. Tell me what makes you tick, and why you are the way you are, because if you think you’re awesome, or you think you’re an ass, I genuinely want to know what made you that way.

The best thing to happen to you this week?

This week has been absolutely amazing. My cousin, my sis, and I learned this song and sang it in three part harmony for his birthday, and then the bonfire at the beach under the stars, and the band playing our favorite songs for us, and staying up late talking about everything, and watching Sherlock Holmes. This week has been the best summer of my life.

Name the family member you're closest to and describe your relationship with them

I’m closest with my sister Mary. I’ve been told that sisters usually despise one another, don’t get along, and never talk. My sister and I aren’t like that. We live together, eat together, go to school together, sometimes say the same sentence together, it’s crazy. My sister says we have a psychic link because of how we talk at the same time and finish each other’s sentences. Sometimes she’ll look at me and I’ll know what she’s asking. Or sometimes I’ll say, “What song am I thinking of that sounds like that one song you showed me yesterday?” and she’ll know. Sometimes my knee will hurt and usually it’s ‘cause Mary’s been too hard on hers, and somehow I know. We can be crazy together, and we can just sit and not hardly say anything for hours and it’s not weird or anything. Our voices may sound virtually identical over the phone, but we’re both really different people with different histories; how I think and process is so opposite of how Mar does. I’m logical, she’s emotional. I’m cautious and she jumps right in. I analyze and she goes with her gut. I do things when I feel like it, and she’s super disciplined. I’m a nightowl and she goes to bed at nine. 

To sum it up, let me just tell you what Mar told me about two days ago. We were talking about how some of our friends are starting to get married, and she said “When you get pregnant, I’m moving in. I don’t know where your husband is going to go, but I’m going to live with you. And for those nine months when you’re fat and bitchy and no one likes you, I’ll love you anyway and buy weird groceries for all your cravings…but when the baby is born I’m leaving, that thing is your problem, not mine.”

I stink of wood burning and cigarette smoke, and saltwater, and good music, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Your views on drugs and alcohol


Besides aspirin, I don't use em, don't need em. I'm a little...crazy...as it is, so I don't need anything to make me more so. I have enough trouble with my self control as it is, so there's no need to make that worse. And considering my family's history, I'd say my genetics are begging me to stay away from the stuff. Or maybe they're begging me to try it. 


Either way, I don't care if other people indulge, so long as they do so responsibly. Marijuana should be legal, kids old enough to sign up for the military are old enough to drink, and alcohol doesn't make you a better driver.

Weird things you do when you're alone


I change out of my pajamas...into pajamas.
I sing in the shower
I sing in the kitchen
I watch and rewatch fan videos of everything I'm into
I sing all of the songs I've written out loud
I pop an entire bowl of popcorn just for myself
Sometimes I sleep all day instead of getting up
I clean the kitchen
Oh man even the weird things I do are boring boring boring.

Ten of your wildest dreams

One a scale of one to wildest, here we go. Once in a dream…

1. …I lost my dog
2. …I woke up, lived a whole day, went back to sleep, and woke up to find it all a dream
3. …the Redwood Forest collapsed around me as I drove through it
4. …there was a car accident and I stopped to help
5. …there was an alligator in the golf course pond and it attacked someone
6. …planes dropped bombs on my neighborhood, and we literally headed for the hills to escape
7. …my friend was kidnapped, and I had to rescue her by myself because no one would help
8. …there were these huge swimming pools like at an amusement park, but then there was a flood, and I had to rescue a kid from drowning
9. …someone broke into my house, and I had to fight him off, and when I knocked him out he turned into a balloon and I tied him to a chair, and then my neighbor, Oprah came over and was being nosy and I had to pretend like nothing was wrong.
10. …My mom was pregnant.
