Part of why I have resting bitch face is because I have, I guess, the sort of appearance that makes random people pick me out of a crowd and look at me hopefully, deciding to talk to me or ask me shit. And these same people will sometimes yell at me if I don't provide an ear or money or whatever. (In the best case, in an unguarded moment, some guy might ask me if I want to go for coffee, but I think I'll live with usually missing out on that to avoid the former.)

So I generally look mad, clueless, or uninterested. I will pretend nor to speak their language OR mine. I will wear headphones that are not on. I will stare at my phone's home screen.

One of my more recent exes (if you can even call him that) told me, instead of saying I had a pretty smile, "you only look good when you're happy. Stay that way."

Dude was a mess of affliction and addiction, so I am not particularly harmed by that, but he is right that I look rather old and severe when I'm not smiling. Long practice has made that the default, and strange people STILL talk to me through it.

Why that doesn't apply to nice, cute, single men in my area isn't a mystery, but it is a travesty :)

(Also, dude above can still get fucked. And maybe find an AA meeting? Might help.)

I've really missed doing this.

Dear loud woman on the tram,

Please do not announce as loudly as you can to your phone partner the crimes you are planning. You aren't just annoying with that shit, it's also super dumb.

LB: Were it not Bern, I'd be even more surprised (I've heard Bern residents are pretty pissed the US embassy violates Swiss law by surveilling them on Swiss ground, but my source for that is very privacy-conscious).

But bravo, baker. I'd buy all your foods if I could, and I don't even really eat bread.

I need to find a better way to have people understand that when I say "I don't eat much but I'd be happy to keep you company" that this really does mean I probably can't or shouldn't eat and they shouldn't expect it.

I want the social part, but me not eating is not pathology, and I find myself eating to avoid the conversation and then hurting later.

By all means, offer me a taste of what you are having, but we don't need to talk about me not eating.

Good: Tonight is acting class. Have not been on a stage (acting, anyway) since high school.

Bad: I have a fucking RIGHTEOUS headache, and NSAIDs are forbidden to me.

Well that was ridiculously fun :)
