I'm glad I'm not a stereotype. I'm such a mix of everything, but it blends. I'm not being self-absorbed I guess the word is, I'm just considering myself and what I like and don't like. You can't say I'm a girlygirl because I love to pain a room, be a grease monkey (not quite so Megan Fox-Transformers-esque though), wear boys shirts and play basketball with them (boys). But you can't say I'm a tomboy because I'll spend a half hour on an outfit, change three times, take forever to get ready (my internal clock and speedometer are worth shit), and have a lip gloss stashed somewhere on or around my person. I'm a perfectionist but I never follow a recipe to the letter and measure anything. My bulletin board has a collage of things on it but it's completely organized. I love color but I often find myself in black or white. I wear chucks or my a.e. sneakers but I'm in love with boots of all heights. I'm incapable of choosing between sweet, sour, salty and spicy. How is only one possible? I have very little self control but when the situation calls for it can bite my tongue for years, stop biting my nails over lent, not eat candy for months and do everything Mia says to do. I love the idea, essence, image, smell of coffee but I think it is atrocious to drink. Brownies are the best thing in the world and I know a good one from a bad one...like coffee people I guess. Starbucks and Barnes & Nobles have amazing brownies, Market Basket has brownie bites that I can eat a dozen of it once, and box mixes need to be chosen CAREFULLY. My self-esteem and body image will be high on Monday and nosedive on Tuesday. I love flowers but have no patience for dirt, plants and ughhh insects. Hats are my favorite thing but I'm never sure if it looks good. I have no basic mat skills, flunked Algebra I three times, but birthdays, and phone numbers and all crazy little details are engraved into my head. That's enough. But I'm not a stereotype and I'd had to be one. If I can be different and unique, but not fake and pretending, then I do it. Hearing someone say "You're different/unique/one of a kind" is in my top three favorite compliments, intentional or unintentional, as long as it isn't being said in a mean way.
