Feedback

Interesting feedback. I know my blog ends up being my whiny cry-baby soapbox, and today I realized how skewed it makes me sound. I'm not used to having visitors, but I think visitors are cool, especially ones with a point of view and a big mouth. They kind of remind me of myself. So here are a few things to think about:

No, I don't think the characters on Sex and the City are normal women, but they are probably the closest thing to it on television, and there is something very cathartic about watching them go from man to man to man, which is something I have never been able to do. To be honest, I'm not really sure what normal is, but I do know that I am pretty far outside of what it might be, for the following reasons:

1. I'm left-handed.
2. I dabble in most of the arts, including visual art, music, dance, theater, and of course, film.
3. I was once in the circus. Trapeze. Beat that.
4. I grew up without cable TV.
5. I hate grocery shopping but I love to eat.
6. I would rather park far away and walk than circle the car for 20 minutes looking for the closest possible spot.
7. I take the stairs.
8. I hate crowds, noise, and the exploitation of animals, but I love horse racing. I can't help it.
9. My favorite films are all subtitled. And I've never seen The Godfather. (But I will eventually)
10. I have been in college for roughly 10 years, and I still have no skills that are valuable enough in the workplace to get me a job that pays more than $10 an hour. (I can make people laugh and entertain the shit out of them, but those TPS reports are beyond the scope of my expertise.)

Switching subjects:
I know they're not that into me. I saw that episode too. But the trouble is that I have girlfriends that are now in this category. That is what is alarming. Aren't your girlfriends supposed to love you no matter what? And how does one go about finding someone that IS that into you without unleashing some crazy stalker?

I also have this theory that men are made lazy and crass by society, because the women are so busy competing for them, they just sit back and watch the show. If women were able (and I count myself in this group) to constantly focus on something besides snaring men, and the sex and attention dried up, then perhaps men would start thinking they need to buck up and treat us how we deserve to be treated. Just a thought.

And for the record:

I think I'm pretty fabulous. I don't say it very often because this is the spot where I whine and bitch and moan about everything I don't have, but it's true. In real life, I'm hilarious and entertaining and upbeat but also cyncial and witty. I make people laugh. Plus I'm kinda hot and my talents are wide and varied. I just get tripped up in certain areas of my life and this is where those issues land. Otherwise I would have to bore my friends with it, and I would rather whine to far-off strangers who would rather read this than work, because then I've got nothing to lose. If you stop paying attention, I'm still posting.

So anyway, thanks for reading, comments are appreciated--especially if they make me laugh.
