Mine too, and sometimes I just can't do it, because I just don't have enough power.

It means being able to look at something both objectively and subjectively. Exactly. Thank you, Tmf-san. ^^ Double think was a word made by George Orwell. In his book 1984 there was a principle that goes something like this: "Bad double thinker sees how awesome the big Brother is and still looks for the bad things that happen. Good double thinker sees some bad things but rightfully chooses to ignore them in light of otherwise so great nation." Basically, double thinking is a way to ignore bad sides about something while aknowledging them. To dislike something but at the same time have a soft spot in heart for that something. That's basically how I work. If I were to only think singularly, my videos would be either A) Super fanboy praise or B) just dissing everything by strictly comparing to reality. Oh my gosh, that's exactly the book that I was thinking of when I saw the word, "double-thinking." We actually had to note that word every time it was used in the book in my English class. lol

Fine book in my opinion.

I take most stuff waayyy too serious and see most things through a poetic light~ Though, that's rather obvious, so I will take this as a random fact about me:
I have really, really blonde hair.
But that's rather pointless, sooo...
I am scared of flowers. They can be pretty, but I am mostly scared of touching them.

Ahem, I don't know! When I was little, we had poisonous flowers in the garden, and I was sooo scared even grazing them could send me into a panic! now, I guess a bit of the fear is left in me!

Awww...that's cute I think the question here is why did you have poisonous flowers in your garden? Like what point does that serve? xD

Ne-on They're still there! I just... uh, I take thiiick gloves up to my arms and with the use of gardening tools, try to make them disappear! They're there because they are pretty! I do like how the look, but, they're kinda scary! Really, though... the entire forest is rather full of berries that are poisonous, and rather appealing to kids. D:

Ne-on I live about an hour (and a half) outside of Stockholm, outside the community called Enköping XD! In a forest outside there. I am, me. o3o. I am awesome! There are pretty flowers, though, but there are a lot of dangerous stuff around. c.c Wild boars roam the land, and stuff.
