i find it a little weird that people ask me for relationship advice. i don't date and never really have. i'm in a relationship, but it's not the best. things are good when we live in the now, but we still carry around 'past' hurts. in any case. it would seem as tho i should be one of the last people to ask for advice. maybe in a relationship. 'how do you do it?' but when it comes to dating, asking people out, wat to do, how to do it... why do people come to me? i should mention that i'm not complaining. i like that people trust me enough to 1) tell me private things 2) trust i'll keep private things private 3) ask me for advice and 4) think i'll give good advice. btw, i've never had anyone tell me that i've given them bad advice (altho after this post i just might!). i think wat makes me good for this position (teehee) is that i relate well. as i've said before, i tend to over-identify wit characters in books and movies, etc. in real life i use this and quite easily put myself in someone else's shoes. i do have a problem tho. sometimes people will ask me for advice on wat to do about people i don't like. when that happens i tell them wat i think is the right thing to do, regardless of my personal feelings in the matter. however, i then get angry wit myself because i'm pushing this person (reepal usually) to do things that i don't actually want them to do. but these things, they're the right things. you kno wat i mean? and wit reepal, he doesn't just accept your advice. he hashes it out and you have to convince him of wat the right thing is. so i end up basically arguing wit him, trying to get him to do something that is the exact opposite of wat i want! i am the devil's advocate. it aggrevates me to no end. usually towards the end i just give up. i tell him that damnit, i don't care and i'm not gonna convince him to do something that will just end up hurting me, even if this is the right thing between him and ther other person. anyway. so. i like that people approach me. altho i don't always understand why they do.
(btw, i do not in any way think i'm a 'staggering genius', as the music title may imply)

"so i like that people approach me"...AHAHA, that could be taken in so many different ways..
i.e. "so i like that people approach me ...[with drugs] [with propositions!] [to eat live-squirrels] [to perform streeet magic!] [to meet aliens]"
yes yes, many possibilities as you can see!!
and you do give bad advice! like that one time you told me to jump off the bridge with everyone else!! and that other time that you told me one puff is harmless and that it isn't addictive!!! and that other time where you told me that looking at a fully lunar eclipse with the bare eye was harmless and fun!!!
