I'm not big on the jesus-freaks. I'm appreciative of those who have faith, but those who hammer and accuse aren't the ones I'd turn to at the end of times.
I like the weirdos. The ones who are too angry, too emotional, too ballsy, too anything. I love those that are just out there, but can't be around it 24-7 either.
I like spice. Coming from a plain English upbringing, the only type of flavoring we had was butter or salt. No fresh garlic, just powdered. No real green vegetables, except for peas in a can. Now that I'm an adult, I can identify curry, something I'd always heard about, but never really could get behind. I love rosemary and thyme.
I hate tardiness. Though I'm always in a rush, I am always on time, even if it means getting up an hour early to do so. People who are always late, really have no respect for those that they are meeting, or the commitments that they've made. Having said all this, I never used to be this way. When I got there, I got there. I'd breathlessly apologize, or slink in quietly, hoping that nobody would notice. The only reason why I changed is because I hated feeling like I was going to let someone down. Or let myself down, by allowing others to not take me seriously. I still don't own a watch, but make good use of my cellphone with it's built-in clock.
I'm never going to be a super model, but I often wonder what it would be like if I had a super model physique. Would I dress more revealingly? Would I actually wear high heels? Would it be easier to talk me into just coming back 'to talk'?
I'm not a genius either, and sometimes I wonder how stimulating talking about politics, economics or physics really is. Thankfully, I'm unintelligent enough to realize I'm missing something, and occasionally make myself work at understanding, though it's all too easy to want to bury my head in the sand.
I'm never going to be the nice girl. I won't tell lies, but I don't hold back, either. If you are acting like an ass, I'll call you on it. If you do something that pisses me off, chances are that I'm not going to give you more than a second chance. Life's too short for repeated apologies. Be the person you want to be and I'll respect you for who you are, don't make me want to change you.
I'm never going to be the bad girl, either. I've done some bad things in my life, and I'm sure I'll do an awful lot more, but, in general, I'm not evil or wicked, though sometimes it sure does look like fun. Getting back to the bad things, I've got enough of a God and Jesus education that I occasionally worry about my soul and the sins I've committed. What will I have to do to atone myself? And then again, I've also been going with a 'what will be, will be' mode d operandi.
