So my friend and I were talking about how my group of friends are incapable of keeping secrets, but not in a bad way, in a helpful way (apart from once, but that wasn't me and it was in spite). Our secret telling orgy revolves around juicy secrets that aren't hurtful and don't really cause complications. In fact, Lady Hammett seemed quite proud of my latest secret telling orgy because I'm good at getting results. Anywho, on a camping trip which I didn't attend a while back, they all played a 'rating game' that I love to do with Lady Hammett - looks and personality out of ten. It's up there just above Snog, Marry, Avoid. One of the group gave me a two in personality, and somehow I managed to not be offended, just curious. So I asked him in Business (which was during our secret telling orgy), and he said, "No - it wasn't a bad two, I just don't like your personality." Basically, it's not an 'urgh you suck' personality, it's a 'what the hell are we meant to do with you?' personality. I know what I mean. He said I was usually 'too controversial' which I think's fine. Anyway, I replied with, "So it's not an 'urgh you suck' personality, it's a 'what the hell am I meant to do with you?' personality - like a really cute dog that drags it's arse across the carpet." I was serious, but when I was repeating everything to Lady Hammett, we nearly died of laughter, and I hadn't realised how bad it truly sounded. Well, somebody on formspring said to me "Do you know that you're a viper, whose words and actions act like venom in your fangs. Yo may sink them in as delicately as you must, and your prey may think nothing of your bite at first. Bus as time seeps in so does contamination, and eventually death." That didn't have the desired effect though, because I thought it was amazing and okay, so it sums me up perfectly, but it made me feel pretty powerful at the same time. Hell, vipers are so powerful and they control by fear, that's not the desired affect that I want, but it's an affect. So there's a contrasting simile and metaphor both describing me. Take your pick, they both apply. Anyway, I'm now going to change my 'About Me' section on facebook to say exactly what I think of myself as being like:
a really cute dog that drags
it's arse across the carpet
I like the metaphor. :P (Y)
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, your personality CAN be a bit on the... Well, controversial side. You like to be different. But in a very good way.
:) I know it's an horrendous cliche, but you're a strong-willed individual, who will - to paraphrase Fleetwood Mac - go her own way, and won't let anyone tell you what to do. :)
Besides... Who has a right to judge others like that last quote in orange? Doesn't that make them just as viperish? It's quite obvious that the statement was calculated to hurt you, and those were words which "act as venom" in the fangs of whomsoever weilds them.
:)
Chin up, weirdo. :D We're all crazy - some just hide it better than others.
