Well, Sara (zeispunim) is THIS awesome. *stretches arms out reeeeeally far* Last night, I asked her to do a character sketch of me. It was a very sudden request, unthought out, springing from her discussing other ones she had written or something like that. I didn't stop to think about how crazy insecure I am, and about how there are certain things about me I avoid facing for a reason. I didn't think much of it, even when she agreed, except maybe a little bit, later, when I called her and she and Michelle laughed because they had just been talking about my character sketch! Eek. Must I reiterate, terribly insecure? Interestingly enough, that's one thing Sara didn't address in the piece - maybe it's something she doesn't really know about me (though I'm not sure how she could avoid it) or maybe she was just trying to be nice, gloss me over. Which, I have to admit, I'm grateful for, because I was all prepared to read it and then want to curl up in a hole and die because... I'm not a fan of myself. I was afraid it would put into harsh black and white things that have nagged at me forever and make me annoyed with myself on good days, want to put a bullet to myself on bad days.

But instead, it made me go "That's so true!" and then "Awwwww."

So, without further ado, I present Sara's amazing insightfulness into the silly conundrum that is... me.

I love you, Sara. *hugs*

Thank you!

Hm, why I didn't talk about your flaws, let's see, perhaps because there's this lovely thing you may have heard about: it's called tact. This week especially, I wasn't going to pick apart your personality and criticize it. I'd have to write a much longer sketch for one thing, and in a short piece you have to sort of pick and choose attributes and I tend not to focus on your flaws or whatnot when I think of you. For another thing writing for me is about making things whole and sensible, not for hurting people.

About insecurity...you don't come off that way. I know you've mentioned it, but you don't mention it often enough that it's really part of your construct, and you don't act insecurely or say insecure things. I'm sure I'd pick up on it more were we not in college and constantly surrounded by people, so there's too much information all the time to not have filters put in.

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you I'm still using this icon of yours. Longest I've stuck with one made by someone else. I've got a ton of others I could use that I made myself, and I prefer to use my own, but I can't get over how much I love this one. Gorgeous <3 Thanks again :)

Awww, thank you so much, it's so sweet of you to take the time to tell me! I know how it is when one icon just sneaks its way into your heart and won't leave :) This icon, for example... I've used it forever and probably will continue to :) Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear you like it ♥
