When someone I like talks to me, I tend to say as little as possible to avoid making blunders. I prioritize survival over winning their heart, but it always backfires. There are so many ways you can embarrass yourself in a single sentence; even a one-word reply can be disastrous.
@R4donne Doesn't pretentious mean making things seem like more than they are? Using a Latin expression when an equivalent one exists in English is pretentious cause translating your thought adds nothing but looks like it does. But if you learn Latin, you will have actually done something.
One day, they told me to cut myself in front of them. I did it so they would leave me alone. They mocked me as I bled. When I got home, my mom got mad at me for what I did. Now, I want to cut myself in front of every person I meet. I want them to laugh at me and get angry at me.
I used to have a crying spot. I live by the mountains. When I wanted to be alone, I would go to the observatory. One day, kids followed me without me noticing. When I sat down, they came out of the bushes with stones in their hands and threw them at me. I haven't been back since.
Lain is eternally underrated, first due to obscurity and now due to popularity. When I first watched it, I couldn't believe I had never heard anyone talk about it before. Since everyone started talking about it, I've been in disbelief at what I've heard people say.
