latest event: the big day.
unconventional. thoughtful. sensitive. witty. faithful. sentimental. gentle. words that describe my friends.
i believe that people are innately good. i would rather believe that people are not intentionally malicious but that unkind behavior and inconsiderate decisions are mistakes or made in error which, hopefully, seldom happens. in this regard, life IS like a box of chocolates and no matter how intelligent or perceptive, one can never know another person's mind or reasoning for their actions. rather than speculate and judge, why not just move on?
some might say that i'm standoffish or snobbish or attention-seeking. i actually care very much for my fellow man and even more passionately for the ones i can call my friends and love most in this life but because such affection isn't usually reciprocated, why share myself. in the same vein, if returned attention is not genuine, why spend time and energy dealing with fakers.
i speak loud because i have poor hearing and do not seek attention. i am a paper-snob because i love textures and fonts. i would rather read than watch television. i would rather go to school than work a trial.
music is a large component of my life; i always have a tune in my head. i hum and whistle. i'm drawn to life performances and great singing. new orleans style blues and jazz keep me steady but the cure is my staple. even country music (alternative) is rearing it's ugly head.
i want to see the world and i would travel the world to see my friends. i know that life is short so i am impatient with conventions. i do what is right for me which is doing things i want to do and cutting out things that make me cross or cause me pain. does that make me an elitist?
i usually always mean what i say. it's probably the one thing i like about myself although that statement doesn't mean i'm inconsistent or never change my mind. it's also a scary thing to have to do what you say because who really likes to make mistakes. and as much as i know others don't do the same, i foolishly and stupidly believe that they are like me in this respect. i've been wrong (and burned!) many times.
