ETA: The answer is INCORRECT, it will be INCORRECT to at least 20% of the guest list.

You forgot kissing technique, which that article from yesterday's link roundup reminded me to feel insecure about, even though the article was not aimed at me, nor do I do any of the things outlined in it (I think).
My mind immediately started separating these into "Yeah, I am insecure about that"; "No, I've got that one on lockdown"; and the worst category of all, "Oh, crap, that's an insecurity I'm supposed to have?" Meta-insecurity.

Me, while reading the whole article: oh GOD

("are you cute while sleeping" killed me, until I got to "do you have the look of someone who is loved" and I would like you to put my afternoon back together please, you ought to find the shards of it around the floor.)
How I walk. Seriously. Sometimes I get so insecure about how I walk that I end up walking like a weirdo.
