I'm a little late to the party, but you are going to love being an asshole. It's so much fun. People will do whatever you tell them because they don't want to get yelled at, or have their eyes gouged out. You get to say things like "THE NEXT PERSON WHO DELETES MY FILES IS GETTING A BRAND NEW PENCIL SHOVED UP THEIR NOSE!" It's great fun.

Heh! Thank you, Mack! You just kept me busy for 5 minutes looking for the meaning of these words! Laughing Me likes! Smile

Colin, I don't normally use swearwords at all! That's why you haven't heard me use them. Sometimes I really feel like using one and then my education kicks in and says "Oh no! It's a swear word! Use can communicate without using a swear word!" And at the same time as I say the sentence without that swear word I am thinkling to myself: "This is SOOO fucking STUPID!" Laughing

And well, the first year at drama school is all about losing our fears for various types of expression. So I shall still be the peace-loving individual that I am but my ways of communicating shall be more colourful! Smile

YAY!

As a general rule, I think women who aren't afraid to express themselves, in whatever manner they see fit, are quite attractive. It's all in the attitude.

But then I have a penchant for sassy, foul-mouthed ball busters. Mr. Green

Then why are you married to such a mild-mannered, reserved shrinking violet as Alysha? Wink

That's too bad. I think people who can communicate without swearing are much more effective and classy to be honest. I take people who overuse F-bombs less seriously than others who may not be as bright, just for the sheer reason that profanity is, well, just that... profanity. There's no reason to swear, really. And all inhibitions are not necessarily a bad thing. You're a classy dame either way, but that's my two cents.

Well, I am not going to change who I am or use swear words just the the sake of it. It is just one example of a set of behaviour that I shall no longer be AFRAID of! I, too, hate it when people use FUCK 5 times in one sentence. What I really mean to say is that I shall try to notice when enough is enough. For example:

I asked someone for a favour. He said Sure! So weeks later nothing happens. I ask again with "would you please" and "if you don't mind" and "it would be really nice if you have the time" and I do this over several months and get nothing. Well that's where I'm thinking FUCK THAT! I have better things to do than be defensive and overly careful and ass licking and whatnot. I am tired of people offending me and pissing me off and me not doing or saying anything about it!

Most recent example:
So at school people told me they like that I am respectful and patient and don't judge people and I like these traits and I don't intend to lose them. As negative points they said that I am too agreeable, that they would like to hear my real opinion more often and that I shouldn't back out of discussions and risk having a disagreement with people. And they are RIGHT! Absolutely! We are a pretty tight group and I know when to accept their criticism and when not to. Anyway, so a few days ago this class mate of mine, Elisa, is given some well meant criticism by another class mate. As usual I am just standing there listening until she gets bitchy and defensive and says that maybe it is just her (the other class mate) who thinks that way. At this point I say "no, I feel the same way." and go on to carefully and respectfully explain why I say that. She bitches some more. Whatever. The bus arrives and they leave.

Next day she pulls me aside and apologizes for her behaviour yesterday, tells me how she really appreciates criticism and THEN she tells me that she would like me to not judge her so fast and that it was really unfair of the TWO of us to gang up on her. Basically, she tells me to shut up. And I say NOTHING. Instead I say "I understand." "It's ok."

And I am TIRED of saying NOTHING! What I should have told her is that she got all defensive, that we were being very respectful and well-meaning and that it was entirely HER problem of not being able to accept criticism and that I was toild that I should give them my opinion more often and the ONE time I do SHE tells me that I shouldn't judge her so quickly and whatnot. Hard to translate it into English really but she kinda aksed not to give her my opinion while saying she appreciates it if we do.

So there you go. I didn't swear at her and I am not saying I should have. It has nothing to do with swearing. But it is the same fear of confrontation that held me from telling her what I was thinking and ultimately, if I do it in a respectful manner, it doesn't only help me but it will help her, too, if she goes home and thinks about what was said.

Wow. Wasn't planning on writing this much. Laughing

That's total bullshit. Don't listen to those people. I like you because you are nice.

I have two things that have recently occured in my life that I would like to share.

The first, I'm taking a class on International Human Rights. Because I am a Jew, and there is a girl from Lebonan, our (senial?) teacher asked us to present both sides of the Israel/Palestine conflict. The other woman was very much pro-Palestine, but I refused to pick a side. I think they are both right and wrong. After class, a girl criticized me for not being able to take a stand. I said, "how could I possibly choose a side when both have militias that frequently murder civilians?"

The second, I've been dateless all year. But recently, two girls have asked me out (something must be wrong with reality or maybe I imagined it). Both said, because I was nice.

So, the point of these two stories, is one, don't let other people make you compromise your integrity. And two, be true to yourself long enough and one day it will pay off.

Your friend and fan,
Michael
