So The Ginger Likes Stitch

"This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size." -Lilo

     Lilo and Stitch is by far my favorite Disney movie.It has been for a long time. And the main reason for that is Stitch. He's evil, and adorable, and gross, and quirky. As a kid I always thought that he was kind of annoying, but I still liked him. Like in school there's always the kid who is just absolutely annoying and immature, but you still think they're alright. And they end up growing on you a little until the two of you are weird besties for life. Yeah, that's pretty much my feelings towards Stitch. I realized that might be because as I have gotten older I have begun to notice several similarities between Stitch and I. Over the past couple weeks, I've watched the movie at least 6-7 times (it's a go-to when I'm needing a little mood-booster) and as I've done so, I've listed out what Experiment 626 and I have in common.

 1) Attitude. Borders between sass and asshole. I like to blame mine on my hair. And we can blame his on the fact that he's a genetically mutated alien (and fictional at that.).
2) Destructive tendencies. Stitch's tend to be more intentionally destructive, whereas mine are more along the lines of "risk-taking" or "tempting fate" that just  happen to end poorly.
3) Can be considered cute from a distance. Or if you squint hard enough. No, squint harder. No-harder than that. How about you just close your eyes and imagine something cute?
4) Should not be highly caffeinated. 
5) Short.
6) Will make random, unintelligible noises without warning. Usually in a new or uncomfortable environment.
7) Over-dramatic. And prone to flailing our arms around when we're talking, making us seem even more dramatic.
8) If you wait long enough, and break down enough barriers, we can be friendly and affectionate.

BONUS:
9) Can both stick our tongues up our noses. Not that I'm necessarily proud of that, but I suppose it's worth mentioning.

There you go! Stitch is my homie. If I could get an Experiment 626 as a pet, I probably would. I'm not an animal person, but it's an alien, so I think I would be fine.


*Not a long article this week, but now that you're finished reading you could always go pop in Lilo and Stitch. I bet it's been a while since you've seen it.*

P.S. Don't Wear Crocs- And Other Generally Obvious Life Advice From The Ginger

1. Learn to drive a stick. Do it. I promise you WILL use it someday. 2. Always go out in public dressed like you're going to meet the love of your life. Also, if you die, that's the outfit your ghost will be wearing for the rest of it's life. At least one of those should be pretty strong motivation for you. 3. At-home, DIY piercings are not the best idea. 4. Same goes for haircuts. 5. And tattoos. It doesn't matter how bad your impulse issues are, please find some other destructive outlet that maybe isn't as permanent and potentially toxic. 6. Take LOTS of pictures.With people. Of people. Places. Firsts and lasts. I've never regretted taking too many pictures, but I have regretted missed shots. 7. If it takes more than 2 tries to open a door, you're doing something wrong. Or the door is locked. And if it's locked, maybe you shouldn't be trying to open it. Maybe it's a bathroom. And maybe someone's crying in the bathroom and doesn&

So The Ginger's a Flight Risk

     Adventure. My favorite word is adventure. I've always had this idea that when you call something an adventure, it makes it sound more exciting. And I am more apt to go into it willingly and with an open mind if it sounds exciting. It doesn't matter what it is. Walmart? No no, it's a Shopping Adventure. Therapy/Treatment-Recovery Adventure. Work-Employment Adventure. In all honesty, I probably use word incorrectly sometimes and bother people with the excessive amount of which I say it. I am always down for an adventure. Most often in the form of road trips.      Road trips are the best medication. Pack a little bag, gas up the car and drive wherever my little heart desires. It has the perfect ratio of soul music, personal space, beautiful scenery, and thinking time. Interstate highways, dirt paths, county roads, or city streets, it never really matters as long as I'm moving. I love road trips so much in fact, that I keep a tote bucket in my car trunk labeled "

The Ginger Is Not Anti-Social *GASP*

I am an introvert. I have severe social anxiety. But no, I am not anti-social. Sound contradictory? Let me explain:      I am an introvert. I get my energy and feel most at home in a small, close-knit social group. I thrive in one-on-one conversation and interaction, but can also enjoy small group activities within my comfort zone. I tend to avoid huge parties, or being in large groups of people.      I have severe social anxiety. Introducing myself to groups of people makes my heart race. The thought of walking late into an activity, and feeling like everyone is looking at me, physically makes me dizzy. Going out in public (grocery store, museums, malls...) alone is not even an option in my mind because I become so petrified that I start to shake.      I remember being four years old, getting ready to go onstage for a 6 minute role I had in the community theater's production of The King and I. This was dress rehearsal, and there would be 3 additional showings after this.
