AWKWARD ZOMBIE

A what?

People who brag about stealing stuff in stores and post their hauls on tumblr for the world to see.

It's usually make up, perfume, lingerie and other luxury items.

I feel like such a fraud sometimes. I'm as liberal as a green party bathhouse, but I wonder if thats only because my life has been relatively easy. Yeah, its been bad at points, but I've never lost my job to illegal labour or outsourcing or missed an opportunity because of affirmative action, I've never been attacked by a minority, I've never really felt desperation, I've never suffered to any real degree. Am I only as progressive as I am because I havent had it all that difficult? If I felt I had been wronged by a group that is now protected by hate crime legislation, would I also be a total dick and claim reverse racism or misandry or whatever?

Important to remember that there are just as many completely privileged conservatives who have never had anything bad happen to them who think those things despite having just as "easy" a life as you.

If it helps any on the opposite side of the coin, I've been through quite a bit of hardship and don't think I really harbor any resentment towards anyone.
Heck, my immediate family all ended up homeless in the mountains for seven months (I'm back yaaay) because my family in Florida didn't want to deal with us anymore. And that's just on top of all the crazy stuff that was going on that landed us down there, which includes meeting my father for the first time (I'd rather not go into details on that), getting evicted in the middle of a flood by a landlord who knew us as, quoting, "that white family", and my grandmother blowing the entire family inheritance of $400,000 in five years.
I've personally moved on from all of that and just want to carry on with my abnormally upbeat behaviorisms, regardless that people keep trying to make me feel otherwise.

Your life events can guide your thoughts, but it is ultimately what you want yourself to be that decides who you are, if that makes sense.

I'm taking the SAT and ACT for admissions to a great high school program, and I'm torn between studying for it a lot, or not very much. Scores that get in are fairly high, the average is a 31 on the ACT. On the one hand, I got a 28 3 years ago, in which I bombed the math part because I had no geometry and did horrible on the Trigonometry sections and so-so on the rest. Will probably do a lot better now. On the other hand, not making it in would ruin a lot of plans I had, drastically change my two years, and leave me a lot less ahead and a lot less pop flyin' then I could be.

When I'm walking somewhere and I have a song stuck in my head, and I want to sing along with the lyrics, but am self-conscious about bothering other people around me, I will sign the first letter of each word of the song using the sign language alphabet.

I try to be discreet about it so it doesn't look like I'm flashing gang signs, or spelling nonsense words if there happened to be someone who could read signs around.

When this happens to me, I just put my phone up to my ear and sing somewhat quietly. Doesn't help much of there are people in ear-shot, but it makes me look like less of a crazy person while walking haha

I usually include some minor dance moves and general rhythmic movement when I'm listening to music or hearing it in my head. I always look insane if good music is playing.

If I'm in the car and my jam hits the radio, then I will shout along as I blast the volume.



God help you if Sellout plays.

I hum my favorite tune while at in public. Or 8f in the car I sing a long.

I got a doozy for ya.

While lying in bed, I will often stop what I'm doing, stretch out with my hands above my head with my wrists crossed, and imagine what it'd be like to have a woman tie me up like that.

I think, if I get a girlfriend, I'll ask her to do that.

(is it weird that I blush and get a full-body tingle when I think about it?)

I get overly worried about buying gifts for people because I'm afraid they won't like them. In the past I would completely avoid getting people anything because I was so paralyzed by worry (even though that's like, worse than getting them something crappy)

I'm glad we don't have a "things that worry you" thread cause I'd fill whole pages of it.

I was just thinking that I didn't have a place to post a story of something that worried me five hours ago...
Forgot what it was, though.

I don't like getting presents because I lack the ability to express enthusiasm so I always feel like I'm disappointing people who give me things by not looking pop flyin' enough.
