Unapologetically me.

I have no patience. None. Not even a smidgen. I'm an instant gratification kinda gal, I am. "The best things come to those who wait?" Ha! Try again. This is evident in a lot of my life....apparently even how I play pool.

Met an online friend tonight for the first time, and we played pool. It would seem that my lack of skill was a concern, for he chose to chastise me, "I know you're not a patient person, but you need to at least take the time to line up your shot." Here I thought I sucked because I rarely played, and Mr. Psychic tells me it's just because I'm impatient.

I love my friends, especially my female friends. There is something special about being so close with a person that you can say "Do NOT wear that outfit out in public." or "I love you, but you can't dance." (Sorry, Heth) Friends can tell each other anything, without fear of retribution.

Friends I said. Not people you've just met.

I once went on a date with a man who interrupted me midstory to tell me I was too intelligent to curse as much as I do. (I informed him he could be my date...or my father....but not both. He chose date....I opted out.)

What the hell gives someone the right to subject me to their opinion on myself? And don't give me that "Free Speech" bullshit....I mean morally, not socially. I would never....NEVER....tell someone I'd just met that they needed to change something about themselves.

Sure, I can be a pain....but usually, I'm like...ummm...let's say....sushi. The first time you try it you think, "Hmm...not sure I'm going to try that again." Then as time grows on, it starts to grow on you....in a non-fungus way I mean. Of course, sometimes I'm like tequila....a good idea at the time, but too much can make you sick. Getting back to my point...

Look....I am who I am....and you are who you are. Honestly, if I told you that you need to shave your beard because it's not really hiding that double chin....or that your wardrobe makes you look like you're on your way to a Welcome Back Kotter reunion show.....and you DID change....I wouldn't want to be your friend anyway.

Be yourselves people. If you can't be you...what's the point in living?
