Top Seven Childhood Neuroses
Feb. 17th, 2009 01:09 amMy Top 7 Childhood Neuroses
'Tired of all the sunny, feel-goodFacebook [LiveJournal] lists? Yet still eager to bare the soul Web 2.0 style?
'Then here’s your chance! Dredge up those childhood fears and peculiarities of thought and perspective, they’re utterly fascinating! Let the world know!
'I would include “directions”, but it should be pretty obvious… copy/paste, tag everyone, yada yada. You get it.
........................................................................................................................................................................
In no Particular order:
1) I always knew that people were laughing at me behind my back, in elementary school, because they did it to my face, too. I never understood why people wanted to pretend to be friends with me, when telling me to go away would have been easier. I, for my part, never seemed to just go away from them.
2) I used to walk around and Hum, most days, in Montessori school. Conversations with the other kids were had, but then done.
3) In conjunction with 1), above, I would always worry that people were having awesome conversations, when I was asleep, or otherwise pre-occupied, and that they were specifically not telling me about them. This made me want to be everywhere, all at once, and never sleep.
4) I was interested in girls from a Very young age, but I was also always second to someone else, in vying for affections. I was obsessed with sad songs about unrequited love, from age 10, or so.
5) I believed that there were truly and in fact Ninja Turtles, in the sewers under my apartment complex, when I was young.
6) I once got in trouble for taking what I thought was a complely justified course of action in protecting someone smaller than either myself or their attacker. Later in life, I was let off the hook for a similar course, in a completely unjustified situation, where I fle offthe handle. This shaped a lot of what I believe about how the rest of the world thinks about justice.
7) I was obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe, from a very young age. Something, there, just clicked.
