Day Two - Introductions
Day Two - Introductions
"I'd like to introduce a man with a lot of charm, talent, and wit. Unfortunately, he couldn't be here tonight, so instead . . ." ~Melvin Helitzer
Today's topic is introduction; how you introduce yourself to new people, unfortunately it's been a long time since I've had to introduce myself, perhaps that's a sign of how closed my social circle has really become so tbh I don't have a clue beyond the usual "I'm Nik, I'm not crazy, honest" - usually I'd only introduce myself after I'd been chatting to the person for a while and thus built up some kind of a rapport beforehand so it's less likely they'll be horrified by my terrible introduction and run a mile... or three.
So yeah, short post for today but hopefully I'll be able to make longer ones about some of the other subjects... that's the plan anyway.

a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?

Day Eleven - Being an only child
I've grown up without brothers or sisters, don't get me wrong, I would have loved to have a brother or a sister to share stuff with and to annoy and to play stupid games with, but I've always respected the decision that my parents came to.
Being an only child has been boring and somewhat lonely over the years but it has had it's advantages: it's taught me how to entertain myself and make the most of otherwise boring stretches, it's taught me to value company and friendship when it presents itself, it's taught me to be self sufficient to some extent and it's given me an unrestricted relationship with my parents - I don't have brothers or sisters to compete with for attention or praise or sweets, so I suppose to some extent it has spoiled me but due to the financial difficulties of our family, this has been tempered and I have learned to be resourceful with what I can get.
Do I regret not growing up with brothers and sisters? alittle maybe, it would be nice to have a younger sibling to look out for or an older sibling to learn from, but as things stand at the moment I wouldn't change a thing; it's made me the person I am today and given me a fantastic relationship with my parents and some solid and long lasting friendships that I wouldn't trade for all the money ever minted.

Day Fifteen - The Greatest Gift
“The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I must admit I don't like writing about stuff like this, I'd rather not rank the gifts I've been given because I feel that a gift is more than just a material present - it also includes the intention and the feeling behind it. So I'm going to sidestep the question and say that they've all been awesome and if you don't like it, you know what to do.
