Why thank you, Darlin!

Ottensen said:

Ummm...ok...to clarify...I thought you were a GAY dude

Nikster said:

Even with the talk of all my ex-husbands??? Day-um, girl!

Okay, okay, given that my personality is somewhere a cross between Madea and Zsa Zsa Gabor I'll give you that

For whatever reason people often think I am a guy too .

Real life? The Org? Where do you START??!

I find other peoples' (grammar?) expectations/misconceptions cause me to challenge my own behaviour, sometimes. When all I want to do is just 'be'; I hate that feeling of trying to conform to what other people expect of you. So I try to remind myself that - as long as your intentions are good and you're not harming anyone in the process - you just gotta go with what you know. Even if it is a difficult path to follow, sometimes.

Life is just a game...do you wanna play?



And 'Ocean Nosey'...

I am much better one on one- not everyone is meant to be the life of the party.

shanti0608 said:

Yes. I enjoy one on one very much. Feels more relaxing and safe to me.

ArielB said:

I feel ya! I am the same. Nothing wrong with that.

shanti0608 said:

CynthiasSocks said:

OMG Yes
It was because you were talking about your lips..I know it!


You were good btw...hehehe and I got busted and told my boyfriend in the dream that it did not count as cheating because you are gay.

I have been having really strange dreams lately!

hubba hubba....

I don't know. I don't really know what people think of me here.

shanti0608 said:

I am sure I have not invested in noticing much

I almost feel as if I do not really care what others here think
( I know that sounds bad perhaps but it's not really meant to )

Some think I'm a guy - I knida find enjoyment in that
Some think I have an "open" marriage - Thats cracks me the fuck up




It's really not my thing I guess to be interested in others misconceptions of me, that's their issue

Notice how you can't tell what my right hand is doing?

omg!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Heya.

Nah, it's just... how do you sum these things up without boring the pants off everyone on the Org/where to start...? That sort of thing. There's no mystique involved, trust me.

Imago - again - pretty much summed it up on that thread he started the other day about the 'seams' coming apart. Or however he referred to it.

I have mates who because they knew me when I was young, stupid and reckless, expect me to be like that all the time. I still have my moments but, generally, I can't live my life like that. It can feel like you're a performing monkey after a while. And whilst it's not at all difficult for me to reconcile then/everything that went on in between/now, it's like some people have a fixed opinion on who you are, what you do and how you should behave. I never view others that way - unless they are acting totally out of character, I just let them get on with it.

Then there are my colleagues - and I am not surprised they feel confused by me. Sometimes, I go in and charm the birds out of the trees , sometimes I feel quiet and like my own space. Again, simple enough to me but because I do not present an 'image' that way, some people get really confused by that. It's not playing the 'corporate' game. I have always made a clear distinction between my life in work and my life outside of work and a lot of people simply cannot get the fact that I just want to go in, do my job and go home. I don't want all and sundry knowing my business but it makes me the 'outsider' in a lot of ways. I'd be a lot more successful if I shut my mouth, smiled sweetly all the time and took the shit they try to throw at us.

And then there's the fact that I confuse the hell out of myself - I have discussed this with you previously. Sometimes I feel very self-conscious and shy; sometimes I feel incredibly confident. And because I (sometimes) manage to portray an air of confidence, some people get intimdated by that. What they don't realise is that I'm projecting an air of confidence to cover up for my lack of confidence. Make sense?!

Christ, this is why I don't post these things... it would get far too long-winded. This could go on and on and on...


In short, I could spend my entire life worrying about others think about me. And it does concern me, sometimes. More than I should allow it. But, otherwise, I just try to get on with things and stay true to myself, even if others have their own expectations. As already mentioned, that's their expectations, not mine.

I still say the best thing about meeting strangers is that you can be whoever you want to be, whether it's mr. confident or superfreak

people are pretty much right on about me, especially the negative stuff.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Hmmm, yeah, maybe.

And I feel like you tricked that answer out of me.
