Oh, yes? Is this because you're training more, or just doing a lot more affirmations in the mirror or something?

[coolcostumes]

i don't do that second one!

( much. )

[white_widow]

No? I have heard it can be very effective.

[coolcostumes]

do you do it?

[white_widow]

I have tried. It was not so effective for me.

[coolcostumes]

i think i'd just end up laughing at myself if i did it.

[white_widow]

Most of them do seem to be intentionally worded to sound like the most ridiculous nonsense ever.

[coolcostumes]

i'd get mad at myself for laughing at myself.

[white_widow]

The couple times I tried, I would say a few things, and then I would look at myself and be like 'I'm supposed to listen to you? You are a crazy weirdo.' Counterproductive.
Although, you know, I do not HATE being a crazy weirdo, all of the time.

[coolcostumes]

see what you need or what we both need is someone else to say those things to. like you say them to me and i go YEP YOU ARE AWESOME

[white_widow]

You know, I think that is not a bad idea.
It will probably feel ridiculous at the beginning, but long run...

[coolcostumes]

hey i am here to be your daily affirmation girl. call me whenever you need a pep talk.

[white_widow]

Whenever? I keep very weird hours and frequently switch timezones. You may want to put some limitations.

[coolcostumes]

so? my hours aren't all that great either. no limitations. you need it, give me a call.

[white_widow]

Okay. If you are sure, I will take you at your word.

[coolcostumes]

good! i mean it so i expect calls when you need them.

[white_widow]

What if they are actually just calls to bitch about other people?

[coolcostumes]

ooh that'll be even more fun. i like bitching calls. i'm good at that.

[white_widow]

Okay. Those are probably going to be frequent, with this new team.

[coolcostumes]

yes awesome good. keep me in the loop and i'll do the same. if i have any cool news like that.

[white_widow]

You don't have any cool news like that? There have been rumors.

[coolcostumes]

what have you heard?

[white_widow]

Well, if it is baseless gossip, I am not going to repeat it.

[coolcostumes]

i can't say if it is or isn't until you tell me!

[white_widow]

If you say you have no cool news, it has to be, doesn't it? Unless that was a fib.
