I feel a flare for demonstracity, and I&#8217;m playing with it.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Someone recently quoted, &#8220;Only people of a certain disposition are frightened of being alone for the rest of their lives at the age of 26.&#8221;  For me, more than resigned to the possibility, I want to embrace it.  Not because good women are difficult to find.  I go on dates sometimes, but my life isn&#8217;t the kind of thing that most people would be interested in joining in on.<\/p>\n<p>I intend to live hard.  And not in a nice way&#8211; my life will leave my mind twisted, my soul tortured, and my body wasted.  I&#8217;ll live poor and over-worked.  I won&#8217;t settle in anywhere.  I&#8217;ll only get weirder with age.  I&#8217;ll always be obsessed with projects that only a mother could love, and my relationship will never be the most important thing in my life.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned this to my philosophical father.  He suggested that swallow-the-keys commitment might have more for me than I was considering.  Life with another person forces one to confront one&#8217;s flaws.  And I want that, but I hope friends can give it to me (that&#8217;s where you come in).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very comfortable with my flaws, or my rate of progress in working on them.  They rarely bother me, but I know some of them bother other people.  And the flaws that affect other people don&#8217;t directly affect me, so it&#8217;s easy for me to just not notice them.<\/p>\n<p>So my question to anyone who thinks they have any part of an answer: What are my worst flaws?<\/p>\n<p>Any answer would be doing me an honor, so don&#8217;t worry about protecting my ego or mis-flawing me.  You won&#8217;t hurt me, and I want to know however my flaws appear, and I&#8217;ll worry about whether they are at-bottom how they manifested themselves to you.  Give as much detail as possible (and specific grievances, if you remember them).  Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekend: Salon-Party a fabulous success (*pirouette*); eclectic group, fluidly bubbling with conversation groups on everything.
