"Girlfriend," you are too nice - but believe me, I'm a goofball in real life. I might be able to spew it out through my fingertips, but when it comes to conversation - I freeze up like a popsicle. And here lately, I don't even want to go out anywhere because my face is so broken out. And THEN, because my hearing is going in my right ear (and left), I have a heck of a time figuring out what people are saying (it's like I'm on a ten-second delay). Pitiful. It really is. One day I sat here and cried like a big baby to my husband because I didn't even think I could write anymore, so you, my darling, have just made my day.
We are probably all so different in "real life." I have met people from this other message board where I've posted and it's always interesting to bring the perceptions together.
To be perfectly honest, I spent WAY too much time writing that post to you the other day and I was kicking my b*tt for it the rest of the evening! So, you see? Your words REALLY hit home for me and I just had to get it all typed out - and then, after I looked it over, I had the icky realization that I was glossing over one section and had to then go back and write the "awful truth."
WorryGirl, you always sound quite real. I have never once thought of you as saccharin sweet, or as my mother would say "a little miss mary sunshine." You paint your life quite beautifully with your words. It isn't easy to type out these painfully honest missals and I admire those who can write of the pain they've felt (or feel) as adults. The angst of my adult years is always the hardest for me to address - in writing, or in solitude.
Okay, I will go ahead and post the "long one." I really worried that it sounded too "mememememememe-ish," so I just tabled it - but I'll let it fly before leaving the computer.
