Let's Make You Hate Me

Ms. Many Flaws' Ten Personal Statements:

10. I'm indecisive and it hurts the people around me as well as infuriating me when they can't accept it.
9. Control Freak doesn't cover it. If I don't approve of some decision or action, it doesn't happen.
8. Every year that goes by I grow more hatred for my mother. When I look into my future, I don't want her anywhere near it. I don't want her words of wisdom, I don't want her near my children or my home.
7. I have to change all the time. I can't have the same job for more than a few months at a time, I can't have the same style forever, I always change around my furniture. I'm hoping I can stand being in Nashville for three more years.
6. I'm an undisciplined artist.
5. I find religiousness in a person a major flaw, and this is one of my flaws.
4. I'm a sucker for romantics,
3. and for intelligence.
2. My sister is my best friend, forevs.
1. I am nineteen with 80% of my life left.

  1. You're just a good ol' american, aren't you?
    Hurrah! hurrah.
    If you don't already, subscribe to the glorious web-comic "cat and girl". Because I have a hooded jacket that has their visage.

  2. Morning Pen, illustrious despotic cry-ate-tor, burden and brazen the page once more.

  3. Oh, Andri. There is something cosmic about this. Very nice catch. Nothing as dramatic as a cliff, though.

    I'd give you the encouragement that all great stories are embellishments of real life. That's what literature is - a representation. So, truck on, motherfucker.

    And I'd be remiss if I didn't offer to read it for you, if you'd like. I don't claim to be even the most modest of literary minds, so I wouldn't be able to classically critique, though for every work there is an idiot savant out there that inspires with a casual statement.

    And school - I understand. "Architecture" is actually a pretty term for "the raping of social and personal lives". Little known definition, but that's what it is.

    Thank you.
