This is a guest blog submitted by possums_rock.The following are reasons nobody in their right mind would tolerate me long term.
1. I am terribly honest. I can't lie and will probably tell you things you definitely DON'T want to hear.
2. Loyalty, I've got it in spades. Once I decide I
give a shit give a rat's ass actually care for you, that's it. It takes a lot for me to stray even after I know the end is near or that you aren't exactly in tune with the same level of loyalty.
3. I have a hard time trusting people. If I don't think I can trust you, I'm sure you're hiding something and, therefore, cannot be trusted. If I get a red flag saying not to trust you, I'll find a reason to make sure you have earned my trust.
4. I'm disgustingly shy and have a hard time opening up.
5. You will find me terribly cold, especially if I actually do care about you. When I care about someone, I tend to become rather unsure of myself and go into "emotional lockdown".
6. Emotional lockdown...I'm usually pretty closed in the "feelings department," but I become even more so and bitchy when I do care for someone.
7. I handle rejection flawlessly, but it's acceptance that freaks me out.
8. You are looking at the antithesis of hip.
9. Social events of any kind aren't my cup of tea.
10. I sing loudly and terribly.
11. I come with baggage, my mother being the proverbial suitcase...at least for now.
12. Do you like hearing random stories about people you don't care about? I love telling them.
13. Once I decide to get over my ELD, I will spew all this demented and probably incoherent batch of feelings everywhere.
14. I don't like shaving my legs, and I shouldn't have to.
15. It's entirely probable that I will never be able to have kids without a decent amount of fertility drugs.
16. I don't smoke or drink. I abhor both, though I can tolerate some minor drinking.
17. If you don't like my effort to be grammatically correct, buzz off.
18. I swear...a lot.
19. I love Star Trek, and by Star Trek, I mean the original series.
20. I'm a morally righteous atheist.
21. Saying I am inexperienced with the opposite sex is definitely an understatement.
22. Despite the above, I'm pretty open minded.
23. I'm a sucker for "doing the right thing," 99% of the time.
24. You WILL be expected to have a love of stop-motion animation.
25. I don't like hunting or fishing. However, fishing can be tolerated if you throw them back.
26. Driving scares the bejeezus out of me.
27. I fear nearly everything in the appropriate dose.
28. I think in long term, not short term (read: I'm into the whole marriage bit).
29. Tie-dye is great and novelty socks rule, and that's just a snippet of my colorful wardrobe.
30. The expiration dates on well...anything... are merely suggestions.
31. If anyone can tolerate the above, you are certifiably insane and I doubt I will embark on a relationship with a kook.
That's a pretty good summary of why I will find everyone demented and regard them all with suspicion.

aww, you just told SOMEONE out there how to win you over.
hm. i should try this.
does loving the movie robocop count as stop motion animation?
Haha! =]
I don't blame you for feeling those ways. I'm pretty much on the same boat with you. Not exactly but similiar enough. :)
Thats weird...a few of these reasons are mine too...i should make a list = D
I am pretty much on the same page as you with 1-4, 9, and 18. The more you get to know someone the more they can find things they don't like. People suck.
haha, that sounds exactly like me. except i'm more of a star wars fan.
brilliant. and take heart: you know yourself better than most people and that is a lot.
*Gasping for air* You mean I am not alone? Amazing!!!
haha, high five!!!
that's totally me and that's also totally why i am not currently in a relationship, and the reason why i don't feel bad about being single...
20. shouldn't be a turnoff =(
A morally righteous atheist? I've never met one before.
I identify with so many of these! Especially the ones about being terribly shy, awkward at social events, and keeping the emotional lockdown really handy. Oh, and that part about spewing demented thoughts and feelings all over the place one's it's down?
I'm pretty sure you and I are soulmates. lol
@TheBigShowAtUD@xanga - HAHAHAH..
@immaairheadxl@xanga - right? haha.
LOL@12.
@Madoushi_Shoujo@xanga - I'm pretty sure you aren't soulmates. No offense x)
Everything's not that bad. Just the emotional lock down part would make me feel frustrated and confused. That, and rushing into marriage.
Otherwise you probably seem better than most 'normal' people.
only thirty one?
I am a million percent with you on #7. I try to explain that one to people and they look at me like I have 38DD tits.
(oh, no, wait, I do..nvm)
i think there is definately someone out there that could tolerate this....good luck in finding that person.....=)
@KiraWuzHerexD@xanga - u really think there is no such thing as soulmates!!! interesting..=)
Quite a few of those reasons are similar to mine...not all of them, but quite a few.
Epically awesome, but grammatically incorrect #30.
comments to your reasons why your not in a relationship
1. I am terdefinitely DON'T want to hear.terribly honest. I can't lie and will probably tell you things you
nothing wrong with that..infact we need more honest people..despite if they want to hear it or not.
2. Loyalty, I've got it in spades. Once I decide I give a shit give a rat's ass actually care for you, that's it. It takes a lot for me to stray even after I know the end is near or that you aren't exactly in tune with the same level of loyalty.
nothing wrong with that..
3. I have a hard time trusting people. If I don't think I can trust you, I'm sure you're hiding something and, therefore, cannot be trusted. If I get a red flag saying not to trust you, I'll find a reason to make sure you have earned my trust.
many who have gotter hurt from someone they trust often get like that, but when you find someone that hooks you..it's hard not to trust them.
4. I'm disgustingly shy and have a hard time opening up.
you need to work on that
5. You will find me terribly cold, especially if I actually do care about you. When I care about someone, I tend to become rather unsure of myself and go into "emotional lockdown".
you need to work on that too..i have a friend like that..she's still my friend. it makes things akward when your emotionally distant..let people in..they will let themselves in too.
6. Emotional lockdown...I'm usually pretty closed in the "feelings department," but I become even more so and bitchy when I do care for someone.
look at above answer.
7. I handle rejection flawlessly, but it's acceptance that freaks me out.
it's hard to accept, and it's normal. so that's not a bad thing. but if you don't accept it..ever..there is a problem.
8. You are looking at the antithesis of hip.
lol
9. Social events of any kind aren't my cup of tea.
that's not too bad..many antisocial people out there.
10. I sing loudly and terribly.
hey if your having fun...ROCK ON!
11. I come with baggage, my mother being the proverbial suitcase...at least for now.
MY MOM HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAGGAGE AND STILL IS! ugh. i feel yah! can't change your mom though...lol.
12. Do you like hearing random stories about people you don't care about? I love telling them.
I LOVE HEARING THEM AND TELLING THEM!
13. Once I decide to get over my ELD, I will spew all this demented and probably incoherent batch of feelings everywhere.
ok.
14. I don't like shaving my legs, and I shouldn't have to.
no shaving......oh well..fuck it...love you for you..not your legs. lol.
15. It's entirely probable that I will never be able to have kids without a decent amount of fertility drugs.
lol...is that a good or bad thing?
16. I don't smoke or drink. I abhor both, though I can tolerate some minor drinking.
right on! your one of the few drunk/drink free peoples.
17. If you don't like my effort to be grammatically correct, buzz off.
lol
18. I swear...a lot.
that's not a bad thing..really...unless you go to an elegant party and you start cussing a storm like a sailor.
19. I love Star Trek, and by Star Trek, I mean the original series.
nothing wrong with that..i love star wars!
20. I'm a morally righteous atheist.
me too
21. Saying I am inexperienced with the opposite sex is definitely an understatement.
lol

23. I'm a sucker for "doing the right thing," 99% of the time.
me too...heh
24. You WILL be expected to have a love of stop-motion animation.

26. Driving scares the bejeezus out of me.
me too =(
27. I fear nearly everything in the appropriate dose.

29. Tie-dye is great and novelty socks rule, and that's just a snippet of my colorful wardrobe.

30. The expiration dates on well...anything... are merely suggestions.
