The support means the world to me, and thanks to your kind contributions I was able to go and visit my boy in Britain. I'll try and mock up a proper recap blog—though I am notoriously terrible at doing those, I don't think I've ever managed a proper recap blog for any of the various conventions I've gone to over the years. I guess there was

Hello, lovely followers
I've decided that there are many things wrong with me, whether it be in my personality or my writing, or both.
I can't detect a lot of these things because of personal bias though.
So here's my request of all of you: I want you all to post one thing you don't like that I do; it can be something I do in my writing, in my blogs, in my comments, whatever. Just something you find that I do that's irksome or discouraging to you.
And just to keep from drowning in negativity, I'd also like you to post one nice thing you do like about me. This isn't required, but it would be nice to have something to even out the comment so I don't suffer MEDS (Massive Ego Deflation Syndrome).
I eagerly await your cumments~
You're an angsty teen who has low self-esteem.
You're also a damn good writer. Update Try Not To Die.
2417759 b-but Try Not To Die is objectively in my bottom 20
Not updating stuff you've started would be something I'd complain about...if I didn't do the same thing.
One nice thing I'd say about you...You always have good intentions. Even when you really unleash the scorn, there are good intentions behind it.
2417765
Update it...
You could stop wallowing in self-pity, for one. That's pretty irksome all by itself.
But you're also a nice guy at heart, a good writer, and I'm pretty happy to call you a friend. Considering I'm usually impossible to please, I think that should count for something.
~Blinkie
A bad thing... that's hard... geeze... uh... you're always putting yourself down. And you won't write the sequel for My New Twin-Sized Bed.
Good thing... that's wayyyyy easier. You're a kind-hearted person that cares about his friends, an incredible writer, and a good sense of humor.
You are not afraid to express yourself and actually have an identity of your own, however I feel there are secrets you still keep to yourself rather than be open. Possibly in fear of how we will feel or react.
As a positive bonus you are also smarter than I was at your age.
2417801
That's the bad thing?
You start way too many stories and never finish them, but that's a fairly minor gripe.
Update Beautiful Corpse
You have amazing taste in music though.
You like to be angsty and depressing to us.
You're also hilarious and always good for a laugh.
Probably the one thing I've had a problem with is that you sometimes think you're an asshole and not worth anything, when I actually find you to be a decent person and very easy to agree with.
Positive: You're really down to earth and straight to the point when you need to be.
Negative: You're really hard to talk to or hold a conversation with, to the point where it's nearly impossible to talk to you. I'm not sure if it's because you pick and choose who you talk to more in depth or you're just busy. Often times you just seem disinterested or disconnected.
2417851 To address that: you usually grab me really late at night, so I'm trying to keep myself from passing out
2417858 I've caught you mid day, your time, before and it was pretty much the same.
2417862
But I guess I am a bit disconnected with you. I'm not quite sure why though.
I'd have to say... you're needlessly mean at times. There's a difference between telling the truth, and being purposefully hurtful. You tend to blur that line quite a bit at times.
On the other hand, you also tend to fess up to stuff you screw up on/with, and can be fun to talk to.
Negative: Your angstyness is sometimes overwhelming.
Positive: You have a dark sense of humor I can get behind and you have a good taste in music.
Positive: You're fun to talk to and berate once in a while, and you're a good writer.
Negative: You seem to have something against Hostess products.

2417895 I'm sorry
one day I promise you this
2417910 It's ok, I don't do much besides sitting around writing and reading, I can wait.
2417926 don't you have a job you lazy NEET?
2417937 Nah, college takes up most of my time, the rest is spent reading stuff.
- : You troll too much and cause such a ruckus sometimes for little to no reason.
+ : I love you.
Negative: I tend to have a problem with compulsive complainers and whiners, and your recent blogs have given me that impression, unfortunately.
That being said, this is due not to you, but to the way my mind approaches things. When I was around your age a few years ago, I guess I somehow ended up taking too deep a look at myself and found that I hated was I saw. Things would have gotten worse, but I'm certain I created the idea that I might have multiple personalities in order to cope with everything.
As a result, I was able to make my default emotion no emotion at all. That doesn't meant I can't feel anything, that would be sad beyond belief. But, anyone else that displays too much emotion, especially self-pity, pisses me off until I take a deeper look at the situation and objectively decide if they're justified in their feelings. Since I've taken the time to read your blogs, I decided that they were indeed justified… to some extent. I'm sure this approach isn't healthy for me, either. I rarely feel anything, let alone feel genuinely happy. But enough about that, let's move on to the positive.
Positive: I love that you do take the time to share these thoughts and feelings with all of us. I believe it makes you a stronger person than I'll ever be. It just might be too late for me, actually. But there's still plenty of time for you simply because you're not an adult yet. If you can come to terms before that happens, you'll be fine. You keep us all informed, and that is an amazing display of character and loyalty, two traits I deeply value. Don't stop being you, just try not to put yourself down so much. Know that the majority of your followers, including me, love you and your writing. Use that knowledge to your advantage and get well soon.
You're an alright writer who has some interesting things to say when you feel like it.
More followers than me = death wish. You have a capacity for emotion and draw people towards you, which ultimately drives them away from me.

That was the positive part?
Negative: you're an immense faggot.
Positive: you're painfully aware of the fact that you're an immense faggot.
Con: You write more than I can realistically read.
Pro: You manage to get me (and my friends that I read to) to laugh uproariously.
2418279 I laughed at that way more than I should have
Pos: Talks about emotions
doesn't bottle up
Neg: Save for Nirvana, shit tier taste in music
2418463 I'm sorry you only like "muh grunge" and dadrock
2418473 lol I only listen to 80s pop brah
2418575 >not posting the best 80s pop song
you and your kind sicken me to the very fibers of my core
2418589 holy shite spooky ghosts and demons 3spokky5me
2418589 You had to post my kryptonite. Bonnie Tyler. HNNNNNNGG
You don't write enough slice of life stories like First Snow. World needs more heartwarming innocent stories like that. You should write more Rainbow Dash, too.
2418673 I don't have a lot of heartwarming innocence left in
funny thing is, I wrote that story on a whim with the express purpose of it to be forgettable
2418696 Pretty unforgettable far as I'm concerned. Even have it saved. I don't doubt you have the whims to write more tales if it struck your fancy.
2418748 You're a strange man teleros
a strange man indeed
Negative: You use slurs regularly and defend your usage of them when I explain why they're harmful.
Positive: I wrote you a whole list a couple weeks ago.

You look down on yourself and speak poorly of yourself. I don't list this as the negative because it's "annoying" or anything like that; I list it because it's concerning. It's sad to see anyone who thinks so little of themselves, especially if outside observation disagrees. For all the bad things you say about yourself, I've never seen evidence of it for myself. It's unhealthy behavior. Honestly, if you gave half as much attention to the good qualities you possess, I think you'd see why so many of us admire you as an author and as a person.
You are very conscious of the people your writing and posts reach. When you do post about how you aren't feeling well about yourself, you apologize in advance to your newer followers in case the unexpected sadness is too much for them. When one can still be concerned about others when they themselves are down, that speaks volumes on the quality of their character. You care about people. It's why people care about you. Just look how many gathered here to respond to this post.
And you're a good writer, too.
Sometimes I roll my eyes when I see another guy of my followees whining about life all the time. It doesn't matter who does this, it just so happened to be you the last time.
But you need to understand one thing, Regi. I look up to you. There's no way I can say this without sounding like I'm exaggerating, but I mean it literally. Your writing is ingenious and I can freely admit that I actually feel a little jealous of your talent. When you are around in Skype I try to take a step back so to not risk annoying you. And that one time you actually posted a chatlog with my name in it I like a little child getting a lollipop.
And I feel really bad to see you hurting because of this, because I don't think you deserve this.
- you're a roody-poo candy ass
+ you write things pretty often and don't let all the shit you're dealing with ever permanently get in the way.
You can be a bit of an arsehole sometimes (but then again so is everyone), and I confess I don't always like your trolling (though some of it is pretty funny). You also often display a kind of scary lack of self worth.
On the other hand, you are a truly good person, and extremely genuine. For all your trolling and occasional dickishness, I have a great amount of respect for you. In addition, while I can't say I like all your writing, some of it is utterly fantastic. EDIT: While I remember, I might as well take the opportunity to beg you to continue Yearbook January. Pretty please?
Also? Your music taste is freaking awesome.
Have some depressing music to cheer you up:
The self pity and the fact that I never see you on Skype anymore.
You care about other people, enough to put aside the kiddie gloves and give it to them straight.
You come off as more inclined to complain about your faults than to actually correct them at times.
You're a teenager though, it comes with the territory.
*sees the one album i haven't listened to yet*
See ya'lll in an hour, faggots

*reads part after the Mouse and decides to necro again*
Uh,
It really pisses me off when people spend entire blog posts to vent about their problems, and you topped that list with like two or three angst-ridden passages,
but you also hit the ball hard and straight when it needs to be. Meaning, I'm pretty sure your kid gloves are somewhere in the bottom of your childhood toybox
