Seven Things You Might Not Know About Me

Since this is a young blog from an old bitch, I’m assuming I might have one or two readers out of my three (heh) that don’t know me very well. Thanks to Lala, here’s an opportunity for you to learn Seven Dark and Dirty Things You Might Not Know About Me….

1. I’m the kind of girl that laughs at a funeral. I can’t help myself. In times of great stress, I go straight to funny. I can’t afford Xanax, so I have to do something. Funny is the best drug going, IMO, and if it’s funny, I’ll find it and point it out. Hey, it’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
2. I hated being a redhead when I was a kid. But, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to find there are two kinds of people; redheads, and those who wish they were. I’ve gotten in touch with my Redheadedness, and I’ve embraced it whole-heartedly. Ironic, isn’t it, especially since I have more grey than red without my beloved hairdresser. Heh.
3. I am more loyal than Lassie. Once you’re a friend of mine, I’ll go to bat for you until the bitter end. I not only will help you bury the body, I’ll help you ice the sucker in the first place. I am much more likely to go to bat for someone I love than for myself. This makes me feel stupid on occasion, but the fact is, I have some amazing friends I love dearly and deserve nothing less.
4. I am phone phobic. I hate the phone. SRSLY HATE IT. I hate everything about it. My preferred mode of contact is email. The only person I’ll talk to on the phone with any kind of grace is my mother. Hey, she’s old, and she doesn’t have email.
5. I am verbally challenged. In emotional situations, I can’t find a word, much less an appropriate sentence, to save my life. I need time to process the ass reaming/earth shaking/life-changing diatribe you just laid on me. But, watch out when a couple of hours go by and I get access to a pen, a keyboard, a crayon, or a piece of chalk. I’ll rip your ass up.
6. I have worked since I was 12 years old. I started as a kitchen girl for my stepfather’s catering service, and I have seldom gone for more than a couple of months without a job. I worked everything from fast food to retail, from factory work to Director of Sales in a hotel. I always end up in some position of management (that position would be Bending Over, can you dig it) against my better judgment.
7. I never quit. Oh, I’ve felt like it. Feel like it. Something like that. But, somehow, I still manage to keep putting one foot in front of the other. There is a core of optimism inside, I don’t know from whence it comes, but I will always bounce back. There’s the funny, you know? There’s always the funny. Either that or I’m just crazier than a shithouse rat.

There’s my seven things I think you didn’t know about me. For this meme, I think I’ll tag the following people:

Because funny is King:The Bullshit Stalker and Ryan Garns.

Because he is King: Peter V. Brett. He’s also a proud daddy of a REDHEAD. Heh!

Because content is King: Jonathan Crossfield.

Because I’m just plain nosy: The Off Center.

Thanks again to Lala. I sure did need the distraction.
