Plaid's Legacy (For Me)

[Rapscallion]

As a guess, I expect you to reply that you left it out because you're not modest.

[Jester]

You forgot 'modest'.

No. No, I didn't.

[Rapscallion]

Look up. I deleted a post I made and undeleted it after your response.

Something like that. Either way, I didn't "forget" to list it. I just didn't list it.

Why bother listing lies like that anyway?

Add me to the list of gals who would date you if given the chance (and think you're hawt Gonna be in Ga anytime soon? Do you have a fan club I could sign up for? lol

Riiiight. And to answer the questions, no, and hell no.

Update on the local girls treatment of me: Never did hear back from the girl from June. Still haven't heard back from Sunday's girl since Monday's texting. And Sunday's other girl, the one I've been hearing a lot from but who I never really was hitting on, has provided me with some very unwanted drama (from her life, not from her directed at me or anything), and I am about to do something very nice and probably very stupid for her, someone I just met, and from whom I am probably going to get not even a token of affection for so doing.

Yeah, I rock. Yeah, I'm an idiot.

By the way, if I sound bitter, I'm really not. No, really. At this point I'm just laughing at the comedic mess that is my love life. It's so stupid that it's funny.

My friends are certainly amused by it. Including at least one or two of them who are girls that I would certainly date/be involved with if I had the chance. Which seems unlikely for different reasons for each.

I dub this part of my love life The Comedy of Errors. Let's see where our hero Jester will take us next.....and don't forget to laugh along with the live studio audience!

[MoonCat]

Wanna know something, Jester? Even with all that, you're still farther ahead in the game than I am.

[Jester]

Well then, Moon, do what I've been doing, do what I was advising Plaid to do, and got about CHANGING things. No one can change your life more than you can.

Period.

Even with all the bullshit I've been dealing with lately, even with the quasi self-pity, even with the Comedy of Errors, I am having a blast and doing stuff that, quite honestly, I was convinced I couldn't do. There was no couldn't. It was wouldn't.

Fuck wouldn't. Fuck couldn't. And definitely and without question, fuck shouldn't. Actually, I think Yoda said it best:

"Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

Good advice. Just don't know where to start...have to think about that.

ETA: Actually, I do know. Confidence. Jester has it in spades, and so do some others on this site. I don't. Never have. Don't know how to change that.

[Eisa]

I'd try to help, but I have almost zero self-confidence myself.

The hilariously amusing thing is that I actually DON'T.

I should. I could. But the fact is that I do not. But then, I don't care. I can fake it with the best of them. So yeah, I do. I have that confidence. What's that? You said that I just said I don't? Well, fuck what I just said. The fact is, I do.

Perception is reality, kids. If folks believe you have confidence, you have confidence, even if you don't have confidence. End. Of. Story.

Sounds like that old joke, "Sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

I can't fake stuff like that. Just not wired that way. Ehh, ignore me....having an emo day or something....

[BookstoreEscapee]

Me neither.

[Food Lady]

I have a lot of confidence (even though I know my faults perfectly well.) It doesn't get me any dates.

See, it's not so much about faking it to make other people believe it, so much as it is about convincing yourself that it's there even if it's not. Because if you can buy into that, then others will as well.

Sounds convoluted? Well, yes. It is. But it also happens to be reality.
