They were the best of times
Day 3: still doing well with the "no sweets" resolution. Am considering adding in a goal for physical activity.
I am now officially obsessed with Firefly in general, and Alan Tudyk in particular. Death at a Funeral is a brilliantly funny movie.
Seeing old college friends is...just like old times. Why do I let these people drift away? Am making an offical resolution to Keep In Touch.
Am I really so secretive that the people who've known me most of my life really know so little of the important things? I often fancy myself an open book, but...I suppose not. Perhaps I'm better at hiding than I ever considered.
I'm slightly tipsy now: hence the honesty. How do other people do it? Where they're so open and raw all the time? The mind, it boggles.
I hope everyone else is having a lovely weekend. I am. Just...introspective. As per usual.

Firefly is one of those enormous inspirations for fiction for me. It's like Angel - it's like built for roleplaying.
I think I'm fairly open these days... but it's a lot more complex than that. I don't trust anyone very much at all and keep expecting to hurt everyone I talk to. Seems that's what happens to me when I stomp around angry all the time and speak my mind!

Speaking your mind? Good! Stomping around angry? ...less good!
I tend to always speak my mind, and it does take a bit of getting used to for some people. But I do try to be gentle about it, without apologizing for what I think.

The angry stomp and the lack of gentleness go hand in hand for me. There's a depressing amount of people I know right now who don't like Certain things questioned - and I'm merciless toward those kinds of things. The more accepted it is, the more people don't think about it, the more I /need/ to. 8)

Alan Tudyk is my hero. He was amazing in Firefly, but Death at a Funeral is probably my favorite role of his. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. :D
I am a very open person- I was when I was a child as well. But part of why I make sure to be open now is self-preservation. If people know when things are bad, they can check on me and help me out. I also like to be open with others because it inspires them to be open with me. I want to be there for my friends, offering what wisdom and encouragement I can. And if I am honest with them, they may come to understand that it is safe to be honest with me.

I tend to be pretty open if asked a direct question about something, but I'm generally not one to volunteer information. And really, I don't like to be checked on! When I see that people are concerned for me, it makes me nervous.
I'm fine with people being really open and honest with me: I have a degree in social work, after all! I chose this profession because I like helping people. I am happy to have friends I can open up to when it's needed, but even for them, it's a rare occasion!

And think, after Firefly, you can watch Serenity! :)
