I feel like Sally Field, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!”
I really, really have a hard time with this. From childhood where I was just someone my mother was forced by society to take care of, to my teen years where it seemed the only way I could get attention was to be easy, to years of being married to a handsome man whose tepid responses to my own insecurities just reinforced them. I still sometimes feel I’m tolerated at best.
Butt (cuz I have a big butt) things are getting better. It’s getting easier. I’m happier, friends are telling me I look fantastic (and I almost cried) and I’m really feeling like a whole person. I’m starting to believe but it’s really hard.
Certain people recently pared down their twitter friends lists to real friends and I’m on the lists. Other people have actually introduced me as someone they like to other peeps. Little comments here and there have helped. These seem like little things, but they’re chipping away slowly but surely at my wall.
I know I have a wall. I have a hard time making friends because I know they won’t like me so I don’t put myself out there right away. I may seem standoffish but it’s really protection. It’s not that I don’t like you . . . I’m having a hard time believing you’ll ever like me.
Damn this sounds so whiny! I, who have no patience for whiners, hate being so needy of reassurance.
This is just to let my friends know I hear them and appreciate their efforts and it is working. I’m getting there. It’s not all bluff and bravado anymore. I’m stronger and more confident than before.
Thanks isn’t good enough.

This week has kicked my ass . . .
Sep 4th
and it’s only Thursday. Shit.
I completely lost Tuesday. I think I spent the morning driving Ginnie to school and Casey wherever he needed to go. He was late for work, though I did ask him twice what time he needed to be there. I came home from that and crashed HARD. I tried to catch up on email, lj and flickr stuff but failed miserably, opting for a bit of grocery shopping instead. One must eat.
Wednesday I got up and managed to put a dent in most of the above sites, and planned to go to Gangplank that afternoon to work with Tyson on his podcast. Halfway through the morning I noticed a tweet from someone about not attending hacknight that night and thought OH SHIT, IT’S WEDNESDAY? Oops, Tyson records on Tuesdays. Dropped Ginnie at work and eventually headed up to Gangplank to do their podcast and Evo‘s. The guys there had recorded one last week while we were at Dragon*Con and I copied that to bring home to edit, along with the two we threw together on the spot.
What a monster edit that was. I had to cut about 30 minutes of “guy” talk, laughter, fart jokes and general mistakes down to maybe 8 halfway decent minutes of actual content. Took me two hours last night because of course I’m so anal I wouldn’t quit ’til it was done.
Last night’s sleep period was filled with evil dreams. I got up this morning and finished the final steps and loaded that podcast on the site. Took Ginnie to school and buzzed over to Casey’s for his Thursday/Payday runaround to then to work. Then Ginnie from school and dumped a couple of her friends before coming home.
Where I found my copy of the Gangplank ‘cast we recorded last night turned into 15 minutes of NOTHING. Shit. I’ll have to go back up there and hope upon hope the original file is all right. It was really good content, too. I worked on Evo’s episode this afternoon and managed to get everything done in time to fix dinner. Now it’s barely 8:30 and I’m ready to go to bed. How lame is that?
I don’t have anything planned until tomorrow afternoon, so maybe I’ll be able to think straight by then.
Everyone’s talking about the political conventions. The Dems did this and the Republicans did that. I have NOT been paying attention but you can’t help but hear (see?) so many rumors and people posting crap against the “other” side. I KNOW I’m NOT voting for McCain. Period. I was leaning towards Obama but there’s so much shit floating about that side, too. Who are the other candidates? (Rhetorical question, y’all.) I’m so fed up with the bullshit, I just want to know what are my other options and I’m sure there are lots of people out there that feel the same way. Whatever happened to fair and balanced reporting? (Another rhetorical question.)
Got in an argument with Evo about the two spaces after the period (or other closing punctuation) rule. He says not any more. I say absolutely yes. Can I get a ruling on that? It’s driving me nuts. Yes, I realize in my case it’s not a drive but a walk but I still think I’m correct.
