- Lemon Demon, While my Keytar Gently Weeps

My biggest fear in life is that there is some secret people are keeping from me. I think everyone has this fear. A fear that there's a club out there, where everyone knows just the right jokes and portmanteaus and all the good things are kept away from you. I'm afraid there's a secret about me, that people just aren't telling me something. In part I think its because I hate being praised, being the hugely humble person I am. Really, I should get the humble pie and trophy (for being so goshdarned humble). But in seriousness, while I like praise there are some circumstances where I feel like its being forced; I feel like its the praise you lavish on a child or worse a person of special needs.

I feel as though sometimes people are compensating for something I lack. Something so obvious and innate that I cannot begin to comprehend it. Its not true, I don't think, but there it is: I'm afraid that people aren't letting me know how pants on head retarded I really am.
