The Real Me
Sometimes you really think someone knows you well. Or you hope they do at least and then they say something so totally inaccurate that you suddenly realise they don’t have a frikkin’ clue. Isn’t that funny?
I think that all I can say to this particular person is it is their problem if they don’t know the ‘real’ me. I’m not half-bad I don’t think. I try to stay positive most of the time, I work hard, and I’m fairly bright. I can be funny when I want to be dammit! And I’m wise, I know the score. In short, I’m a catch!
But to be told I’m always grumpy and to have it implied that I’m a paranoid, insecure loser is a little rich. I’m not perfect and I am grumpy sometimes. Think it might have something to do with the fact that I work TWO FRIKKIN’ JOBS AND STILL NEVER HAVE ANY MONEY, BUDDY?! And I have the usual insecurities, same as any other person, if they’re honest with themselves.
Sometimes I’m absolutely positively happy to be me, other times I wish the ground would swallow me up, and I feel the most awkward, dorky person on earth. I’m pretty darn sure you all feel that way too sometimes.
So I’m sticking two metaphorical fingers up and saying, "Screw you!" to anyone who thinks I should change who I am. I’m not going to.
And to the person I’m referring to – perhaps you should stop by here sometime and catch me candidly – I’m really rather cool.
Ha ha.

Rather cool? Hell girl...look cool up in the dictionary...and there's a little picture of you under the definition! :)
Who is this person, and where do they live? The wondy mum is insensed and could do a little damage! You, my darling daughter, are perfect just the way you are.
I've found that over my limited years on this spinning asylum we call earth that those who tear others down are actually doing so because they can't build themselves up. If this troglodyte is so unhappy with themselves that your not being a lemming is wearing at them then I say congrats to Wondy! Keep up the good work and remember what I always say.
It's easy to be normal, just follow the herd. It's far more difficult to cut your own path.
Or as my theme song from Weird Al says "Dare to be stupid"...a phrase I try to live up to despite a day job and a family.
