All about me

[listersgirl]

I just heard some co-workers talking about me behind my back (although technically it was just on the other side of a divider where they didn't realize I was standing). They were saying completely not the things I would have expected - it wasn't worse or better, just not what I thought. I've been deluding myself all these years!

So now I'm totally curious, which makes it anonymous commenting time! Tell me what you really think of me - the good, the bad, the ugly. Think of this as your chance to say those things that we're all too polite to say to each other's (virtual) faces. Tell me something, whether you've known me for years or just started reading yesterday (although if you just started reading yesterday, I promise, I'm generally much wittier. Or so I think). Think I'm smart? Think I'm cheerful? Think I'm lazy and passive aggressive? Wow, I totally agree with you.

Just, please, keep it anonymous so I don't have to think of polite responses. :D

Now isn't this much better than doing work?

Okay, so I'm tired now so this might not come out as articulate as I mean it to be. But I think you're one of the most interesting combinations of intelligent, neurotic, independent, hilarious, courageous, friendly, cute, humble, and unique. You are a good friend to everyone that we know in common. You are reliable, trustworthy, supportive, thoughtful, helpful, sensitive and introspective. You are eclectic and yet not so freakish in your interests that nobody can relate to you. You never seem afraid to try new things. I envy your independence, not because I'm not capable of it but because I used to have it. Kind of like curly haired people want straight hair and vice versa.

I also think you sell yourself short. I think the you that I perceive is different from the you that you perceive. And I think there's a nervous dorky introvert inside your head who sometimes prevents you from seeing what a fabulous dorky introvert you actually are. I also think there's a little bit of yourself that you rarely expose to other people, which seems normal to me. And I think there's a certain aspect of your life that you need to "let go" of, or at least afford less stigma. If you approach it with less thought and neurosis you will find it easier. And, of course, it's really easy for me to say that because I don't have the same intimidating aspect of my own life.

What it all adds up to is that sometimes I just want to BE you because you are so fabulous.

And you don't have to respond - don't worry!
