Alphabetti spaghetti: N

Lately, I have found myself feeling very Nihilistic and Negative, despite somehow giving the outward appearance of being sickeningly positive. So remember, when you get that sudden sense of Nausea every time I’m near, that the Little Ray Of Fucking Sunshine act is not for real. It’s merely your misinterpretation.

Mostly, however, I have been feeling Needy. I hate being needy. Needy, I loathe. I despise. Even the sound of the word makes me seethe and spit, as if I have sucked on half a rancid lemon. Needy is weak. Needy is not me. I am independent, strong, with a couldn’t-care-less attitude about everything and everyone.

Yes, that’s me. Not needy at all. Move along, nothing to see here.

    What you need is a new set of N’s: Nice. Naughty. And Naked. [though not in front of the webcam].

    Personally, I think ‘L’ suits you better: Lovely, er… lovely and, um, yes. Loveliest.

    (Keeping in mind that I am always right.)

    Andre: nakedness is not my forte. I leave that to the experts. And I have no webcam - just an iSight camera on which I take pictures of my increasingly bizarre hair.

    Little Lead Pencil: I will get to the L’s eventually, at least by part 26 or when I have run out of spaghetti, whichever occurs first. In the meantime, you are making me blush the colour of the tomato sauce.

    Alphabetty spaghetti is never as satisfying as the normal spaghetti in sauce. There’s always way too much sauce and not enough spaghetti.

    The desire for making words out of food leads to a reduction in actual substance.

    I can see Timbo has given the merits of alphabet spaghetti far too much thought.

    Anyway, how about notorious? It’s still technically a negative, although it’s become one of the more desirable of the bunch.

    Mad hair day?
    Excellent, very Robert Smith of The Cure?
    I love Alphabet Spagetti - great comfort food.
    Posh chips are good too.

    Needy, nihilistic and negative. Those buggers. Small, grim smile of recognition then, sigh, inappropriate offer of hug in solidarity. The N’s can be melted by human warmth.
    I can at least suggest close your eyes and be somewhere comforting for a while. It will pass :-)

    I have Nik Naks I’m willing to swap for some Negativity, but they are the scampi and lemon flavour so you wouldn’t be allowed to go with 100 feet of anyone for the next month.

    Jack | 03.20.07, 14:37

    Oh. I like the scampi and lemon flavour. Does that make me odd?

    An Unreliable Witness | 03.20.07, 20:24

    Ooooh no, I do too. And pickled onion. It’s just everyone around me who doesn’t.

    Jack | 03.21.07, 13:32

    Neediness is my fatal flaw.

    Well, one of.

    I’m also Narcissistic, Neurotic and Naive.

    Morgan | 03.22.07, 15:50

    Me too. Hating being needy. Pathological need to be seen as strong. A need, of course and with inevitable irony, makes me needy.

    Clare | 03.30.07, 18:15

    which makes me needy, I mean.

    Pah. Can’t even type without missing words out.

    Clare | 03.30.07, 18:16

    Just added you to my blogroll, btw. Didn’t mean it to take this long. Thought I alreday did it weeks ago.

    Clare | 03.30.07, 18:16

    Not needy? You’re fooling no-one I’m afraid and you’re just like the rest of us, desperate for our fragile egos to be stroked by a fawning comment left by some sycophant who thinks the blog is oh so hip and cool.

    The sooner you admit it and deal with it the better, there are groups out there that can provide help you know.
