I don't like people asking if I know what I'm doing. I kind of want to ask for help if I need it but I'm stubborn that way.

Haha, I was talking about the lady in the theater asking what time our tickets were for and making sure they were midnight showing ones. And umm I've done this like 5 times now so yes I know what I'm doing? I'd rather people let me ask questions if I need to then ask me questions that make me feel a little stupid.

Soooo, I had like two PMs in my inbox, was going to get around to it after taking a little bit of time to watch anime, and now they're completely gone.

I have no idea what they said either. x.x

My older sister told me I have no idea what I'm talking about, and told everyone I use big words to make me look smart and like I know what I'm talking about.

Last weekend she said it to everyone in my oldest sister's house. And the big word I used?

*laughs*, then

I'm sorry, sounds like she has some, ah, issues. It also sounds like she doesn't know what dystopian means... But that's just me/my opinion.

I wouldn't get too wound up about it. If the people know you they'll know better, and if not - well actions speak louder than words, so your smarts will show thru, and prove your intelligence is genuine and not a show for people.
