But I need to stop. I apologize for my melancholy (but honestly, there are so many blogs out there where I feel like the author is always so happy, every second of the day... it makes me feel bad about myself, like something is wrong with me. And part of what I want to do in my blog is be honest with who I am.)
So, maybe in an effort to show you who I am, I will show you who I am NOT:
- I am not happy 24/7/365 (but that doesn't mean I'm never happy, I'm only human... at least I think so, but I'm not exactly sure, my sister claims I'm not)
- I am most often not optimistic, though I try not to be pessimistic
- I am not a social being (that's why blogging is so attractive, I can hide behind a monitor until I'm comfortable enough to come out of my shell)
- I am not conservative in my beliefs (at.all.)
- I am not intolerant of other people's beliefs (which means I am tolerant of what others believe... just want to make sure that one is understood correctly)
- I am not tall (5'4")
- I am not super model skinny (in fact, I weigh 145 pounds, and am not ashamed to admit it)
- I am not a workaholic (obviously)
- I am not an alcoholic (haha, because it rhymes... sorry, poor taste? oh well, we live...)
- I am not a natural dark brunette (I'm actually more of a light brown, dark blonde... which pains me to admit... not that blondes are bad, I just never realized how light my hair was until I started dying it dark)
- I am not a Christian (nor am I Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Wiccan, or any other religion)
- I am not an Atheist either
- I am not sure where I am going with this post...
Okay, so this is getting hard to do what I am "not" so we're going to go to what I am now:
- I am the person who reads the plots to movies on wikipedia before (or while) watching the movie
- I am madly in love with my husband *wink*
- I am the proud mom of two adorable (and beastly) pups
- I am creative
- I am funny (at least I like to think so... I can laugh at myself, that counts, right?)
- I am known to be crabby and grumpy (especially when I am hungry... right husband?)
- I am a humanist
- I am a lover of all things Greek, elephants, and big words
- I am the opposite of athletic (for reals... I was the student that got all As in school EXCEPT for gym class... and yes I'm still bitter about it)
- I am fairly smart, but have my "duh" moments
- I am/was/always will be obsessed Josh Groban
- I am an existentialist
And I am and am not so many more things than just what I listed, but in an effort to be honest about who I am and not become some sort of "image" behind my blog, I thought I would divulge certain aspects of me that I hold dear, or that are weird, or honest, or funny.
So that's me, in a nutshell (not that I believe anyone can be reduced to a nutshell). But back to those bloggers who are always cheery... perhaps that is just how they are and you know what, I admire them for that and I say good for you. I just am not like that and cannot pretend to be like that on my blog, it wouldn't be truthful but I think it's cool if people are like that and it at least gives me something to strive for!
What are or aren't you?
