nohari window

Yeah, umm, I'm going to need you to go ahead to come in on Saturday... And do my NOHARI WINDOW! Why, you ask? Take a peek at this timeline:

The other day: I looked at Amanda's profile and saw her Johari Window. Verrry Interesting, I mused. People tell you what's good about you. Warm fuzzy feelings. I like it, but I'm a self-destructive glutton for punishment. How can I mold this experience to my warped existence? It came to me... THE NOHARI WINDOW - the evil twin, in which people tell you why you suck!

Later that day: I sign up for my own Nohari Window, but I do something wrong when putting the link into my profile, so one has to cut and paste the link to access it. No problem, I think, people will probably be eager to enumerate my faults anyways. I wait with baited breath to see the venom be spewed forth from my so-called friends.

The next day: YESSS, someone has done my Nohari window. ONE PERSON. One "A. Non." Very clever, but I can see right through this like I can see through my arm when I wrap it with Saran Wrap. I know there is only one person likely to meet all of the following criteria:
-read my MySpace profile
-recognize the coolness of the Nohari Window
-be bored enough at work to do my Nohari Window
-come up with the clever nickname A. Non
-think I am, of all things, LETHARGIC!!!!

In conclusion, AMANDA, now I know what you really think. I guess I was asking for it. Too bad you had to be the first. All others who follow in your footsteps will be protected by "safety in numbers." I admire your fortitude and courage, and I regret if you find it unjustified when I accidentally attach toilet paper to both of your shoes at Kelly's wedding. You'd better sleep with one eye open, my friend. If not for that unfortunate incident in December of 1999 when I took advantage of your passed-outness to do unspeakable things with a certain western Massachusetts motorcar heir in your extra-long twin, an incident for which you kindly forgave me after a short period of Spanish class silence, I would be more inclined toward revenge. But I love you and your crazy, crazy ass, and I know you could have been meaner in the Nohari Window, which I must admit I requested that people do (nice use of the subjunctive, self.)

To everyone else: the seal is broken, the cherry popped, the trail blazed. Take this unique opportunity to insult me with complete anonymity and impunity. Do it now, my minions, before I do it to you (unless I'm feeling too lethargic to type, that is.)
