(luckily pickiness narrows down; only saw two or three others so far) not only longing and looking, but actually making up lives for them because attractiveness or more like attention getting (getting my attention) isn’t even half the battle. and if i can justify the outward shortcomings somehow, will make it easier; easier for me not to talk to them anyway. outward shortcomings = wearing band t- shirts (not that i don’t like bands, just not fishing--may elaborate on fishing later) or bad shoes i guess. (oh the flame-shoe girl... she will live infamous, so kawaii though, and probably came closest to her made up life likened to her real. almost stalker-like, not really though.). anyway, life’s not that bad without that aspect. though just wish wouldn’t be face-shoved so much. everywhere and everyone around trying so hard. from here, think shouldn’t try so hard. trying hard probably makes things fake. or maybe not. could be the problem. try. i’m not trying, so will never happen. would like to believe otherwise though. allow to occur on own. internal struggles continue. probably apparent though. each side winning minor battles though. on the one side, never approached anyone. on the other side, the blimpie coupon stays on my person... (guess more elaboration necessary for blimpie coupon) front back ----- ---- buy one get one free hi, you may not know me, bring a friend to blimpie but i’m ________________. i’m wondering if you’d like to have a sub it’s a beautiful thing. sandwich at blimpie with me?
