Things of a Kind | Theo Kane

10 things I wish I could say to 10 different people I know (no names used):

I miss when you had dreams for the future.
I feel like I’m always polishing what you carved. The splinters are annoying.
I had this dream once that you were suicidal and only had one reason to live. My subconscious is pretty right about this.
I miss the stories you used to tell, but then you dropped off the face of the earth. For a long time, I was worried you died, but I’m glad you resurfaced even if we don’t know each other anymore.
I’ve know for a long time that you’re gay, but have never pushed it as we aren’t that close. But when you do finally come out, I just want you to know I’ll support you.
I wish I could hold your hand and show you what I see about you. But you’d probably just laugh as it’s something to discover on your own.
I thought you were really rude to me and dishonest about what you were expecting, mostly to cover your butt.
I love you. A lot. I always have and always will. But never in the way you want.
I think you should dump him and move on with your life. You deserve someone who will take care of you too.
I really want to be your friend and part of your community, but for some reason, always have a hard time connecting with you.

9 things about myself:

I have a bleeding heart for animals. I start crying when watching shows about polar bear extinction and want to adopt every animal in a shelter.
I frequently dreams about raising rabbits again.
One of my superpowers is to have people tell me about their dating/romance/sex lives. Mostly of the time, I’m honored that they feel I’m open/non-judgmental enough to tell deep dark secrets. Though sometimes, it’s just not appropriate.
Lists help me remember.
I enjoy presenting and public speaking, but don’t always enjoy small group activities and get way more stage fright there.
I grew up drinking well water. Great tasting water. I cannot drink unfiltered city water and can always smell the chlorine and minerals. The worst water I ever drank was at my great-grandparents’ house in rural South Dakota.
I like puzzles: crossword puzzles, suduko, mystery novels, css coding
My ethics are basically summed up with the words: Star Trek: The Next Generation. And I’m thinking of changing my facebook religious status to “Batman.”
I believe questioning, skepticism, and our ability to learn and retain knowledge and seek more is what separates the animal of humanity from other animals.

8 ways to win my heart:

Doing what you’re passionate about in a positive way. It’s one thing to talk the talk, but another to walk the walk.
Being kind to animals.
Take my opinions on comic books seriously. Even if you disagree with them.
Compliment my cooking/baking.
Take me out to dinner and don’t comment on my food restrictions.
Give me a safe and open place to be myself.
Surprise me. In good ways. Like continuously opening up a pomegranate.
Be unashamed of being dorky or corny.

7 things that cross my mind a lot:

Use your turn signal, turn on your lights in the rain, and don’t wear all black to cross the street at night.
My cat doesn’t trust me to feed him. Only his constant meows remind me, even if I have his food in hand.
Why do people create unnecessary .pdfs?
Are iPods subject to the cassette tape rule? Cassette tape rule: Every tape turns into a Queen tape while on a road trip.
Wow, X would make a really great blog post. Too bad I’m half asleep, but I’m sure I’ll remember in the morning. REMEMBERING NEVER HAPPENS. EVER.
Clothes: Why don’t you create outfits out of yourself so I can slip easily into them. Or better yet, why don’t I have singing mice to create me haute couture?
Will plugging my brain into the computer be awesome or will I end up a Cyberwoman or Borg?

6 things I do before I fall asleep (in no particular order):

5 people who mean a lot:

4 things I’m wearing right now:

3 artists I listen to often lately:

2 things you want to do before you die:

1 confession:

I have big life plans that I don’t talk about online because 1) I fear failure; 2) I fear success; 3) I don’t want to be held accountable to the interwebs yet; 4) plans aren’t completely hashed; and 5) it could have real life consequences on other things I’m trying to do.
