Clearing Up Myths

OK. Here goes. I am SO tired of people forgetting or misjudging who I am. SO I AM ABOUT TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

For My Kids:

I gave birth to you. That makes me your MOTHER. Interestingly enough, that has also made me a cook, waitress, nurse, comedian, maid, teacher, coach, friend, taxi driver, minister, seamstress, psychologist, banker, and crazy woman extraordinaire. I know that most times you feel like the Crazy Woman is the dominant role. My response to that is fairly simple. Wait until you have children of your own. You’ll realize then (if I’ve done all those other jobs with ANY degree of competence) that everything that you are so stubbornly SURE of now was good while it lasted, but nothing is set in stone. So you see, dear ones, it’s just the appearance craziness. Actually, I am one of the sanest people you know. Chew on THAT with your corn flakes this morning!

For My Sister:

I am number 2 in the birth order. That makes me younger, not inept. Additionally, I have actually undergone many changes since I was born those many years ago. So, while I did actually hate onions and mushrooms when I was 2, I LIKE them now. And, while I have great respect for your intellect and opinions, if I don’t adopt them for my own, that is not a rejection of you as a person. It is, in fact, a validation of ME as a person. One more thing, while I admire honesty (indeed I greatly desire it), I believe that there are tactful ways to be honest which do not (amazingly enough) involve dishing out pain to those around you.

For My Dad…

I’m your daughter. For the additional roles that has spawned…see the list above that I provided for my kids. Amazing how that works, isn’t it? Just one little reminder for you, Dad: You brought me up this way (in partnership with Mom, I’ll admit!). Live with it! LMAO. And know that I will always be here for you to the best of my ability.

For My Friends…

I have great respect for you. That is why you hold the title of friend. I rejoice in our differences, and wallow happily in our sameness. I’ll laugh with you, cry with you, and hold the light for you when the path gets dark. I’ll give you my world and everything in it. But even you can push me too far.

For Myself:

I am Me. A person just like any other and yet, uniquely different from all others. I am blessed. I’m a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. I am totally intolerant of intolerance. I love to laugh. I’ve got a damn good brain. I understand everything and nothing all at once. I am capable. I am better than capable – I’m damn good! Unfortunately, I also forget all those good things on a regular basis and get wallowed down in the mire of fear and self-doubt. I have abilities that are untapped (cause they scare the hell out of me!). I am kind and loving, with liberal doses of what is perceived sometimes as harshness. Heck, that’s not harsh! It’s just impatience!! If you want to see harsh, I can SHOW you harsh! I’m sane with just enough craziness to keep it interesting. I think! I am no sheep!!!!! And….most importantly….I’m hungry and in need of breakfast.

Any questions?

Golly, I just love ya! ***SMILES***

I’m shocked, shocked, to read all this about you!! Therefore, I am superlatively happy that have, indeed, set the record straight!!! My gawd, I’d NEVER have known ANY of this about you!!! Except for the crazy part; I’d have guessed that eventually.

Bravo, well done, wild clapping and such. I had chicken for breakfast, you want some? I would have offered frozen chocolate yogurt, but I’m all out for some reason and the Schwan’s man isn’t due intil next wednesday. 🙂

All hail the one & only Sunshine Wolf!!!! You are truly an amazing person. Intelligent, funny, & a little crazy too. I can tell that you’d be a true friend who’d go the distance for her friends. I can also tell you that you’re someone who inspires the friends to do the same for you. Rejoice in what you are & know that we’re here to listen & help when you need it. Yay for you! *with a big hug*

January 17, 2003

By the way ….I have a question too. Do want coffee or juice with your breakfast? (LMAO) It’s nearly 4 a.m. I’m going to bed. Take care hun! *warm hugs*

Yoursoul would neva sing off key.Of that I feel certain. I know you have heard this before…a myth is a gay moth. Groan….Alexias

Questions? HELL NO sister! Hmm…nothing here for Blossom, which means the above are probably temporarily (uh…for the most part) sharing her dog house right this minute! ~:) ArtImp

when can I come to your place to visit…you sound like my kind of person…love you lots

The record has been straightened!!! Way to go, I loved this entry. Much love and laughter

January 19, 2003

AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa MEN LOL sigh’s life isn’t so peachy for me right now and that made me laugh thank you so very much… Lael

ryn: WOW. your note…AND this entry speak for themselves…Friend, i love your vivaciousness. good/bad happy/sad…you show it like it means something. you show exactly what matters when it matters, and thats something to be admired for. wish i was more like that…u keep that head up..the big guy has his stars shining; and you glow.

From this arises the question is it better to be a myth to be feared? or a moth to be loved or a moth to be feared and a miffy widdle moth who likes eggs>? I think this is not unreasonable to ask in the face of invasion fears and if it makes little sense neither does Dubya and his odd lot. this is written by Alexias in venomous sarcastic mode. I fink? Luv Alexias

Ps I cannot set the above note straight as being gay it is too hard to do. Sob sob and wish I could for dear Sunny deserves better than this but admit it ..you like my weird notes??? Huh!!! who else writes such ridiculous stuff? Alexias

You’re also a fictional character, thanks to The Watcher, but I digress. As far as opinions go, I read once that a person’s opinion should be like their dog–something you can admire without being expected to take it home with you. Pass that along to Sis (and I think she’s a clone of one of mine–sigh). With a smile and a hug…

The comment to your sistr struck home most with me. Two nights ago I took the bull by it’s horns and told big sis that sometimes she doesn’t see the way other people do things as different, but wrong. She took it okay! Then a couple of years ago my auntie cooked for us and said (oh, there’s peas in it, you don’t like peas do you?” I looked blankly at her and her son, my cousin, said… contd…

“It’s alright, mum still thinks I’m six as well,” !!! Just got back from Glastonbury, flying visit! ps be brave and untap them, you know you’ll enjoy it when you get there.

This IS perfect! I do hope it clears up ANY questions someone may have…this answers it all very well! Great entry!!! ~Hugs and Loves~

I think you sound like a hearty, fun person, who has a good sense of herself and doesn’t take any crap. This is a good idea for an entry….
