Day 3 of 10 Day meme

[oyceter]

I am just going with the interpretation that the meme is to take place over 10 not-necessarily-continuous days.

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

• Feed me. Feeding me tasty things is even better, but on some days, I will love anyone who facilitates my eating meals. I love food, but sometimes it is too much of an effort to get a meal (as opposed to "whatever random stuff I have to snack on").


• Be really enthusiastic about something. It's great if it's something I know about, but even if it's not, pure fannish enthusiasm almost always wins me over. And yes, this even applies when the enthusiasm is about Excel and custom formulae or sports or whatnot. I just love watching people's eyes light up when they start to talk about something, and how into it they get, and how it is just so obvious that this is their thing, complete with all the flailing and "OMG!" and squee.


• Confide something in me. I'm really terrible at pressing people for information, largely because I hate having it done to me, so sometimes I dance around politely with other people who assume I don't want to know until we both figure out what's going on. People telling me things makes me feel like they want me to know the thing and about them, which makes me feel less obliged to be polite and non-prying.


• Tell me when you disagree with me but don't discount me. I never quite trust it when someone always agrees with me, because I do the "Uh huh" and continuously nodding while tuning out thing. I also figure if someone is discounting me in general, conversation generally isn't going to be very good. But usually the people I trust the most are the people I trust to tell me the hard stuff, because weirdly, that's how I am reassured that they mean the good stuff too.


• Change your mind about something. I like seeing how people think and adapt to new information or points of view. Obviously this doesn't work if it's randomly changing your mind, but I really like watching people modify their opinions or readjust a position.


• Like something about me that I like about myself. I think I've had too much positive feedback from others about things I don't value very much (looks, grades, manners, etc.) and too much negative feedback about things I do value (you read too much, you take things too seriously, you overanalyze everything, you are too blunt).


• Unashamedly be a giant dork. This is very much related to #2.


• Squee over my rats. This is the number one guaranteed way to gain points with me, even if it is a bit silly. It is very hard to resist when other people think they are as cute/awesome/adorkable/funny/fuzzy as I do!
