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.
