Long day.
I have just been working on some things around the house today and some jewelry and other stuff.
Took a long nap cuz I was wiped out.
Woke up and now I have this huge migraine so I'm just gonna take it easy for the night, maybe play on line, maybe not.
When you read me, do I sound like a bitch?
I mean I know I am but it's the written word and most of the time, do I sound like a complete bitch?
I'm having this issue where people are assuming I'm this big bad meanie.
I'm not.
Only when provoked and ok, lately, I have been provoked so yeah, I am very firm in what I write but nothing I am writing is capitalized or exclamated or anything like that. It's written just like this. Normal.
I was told that people have a fear of me when I write, that I come off as a total bitch know it all.
No, I don't know everything but I'm not some bubble head either.
I know how to write correctly with proper punctuation and spelling, I read and watch the news, I love books, I love movies and I am opinionated. That does not make me a know it all bitch.
I'm just well read and up to date.
But hey, whatever. I'm not going to change the way I write on line so someone else can feel better about themselves. If they perceive me as something I'm not because they are reading far too much into how I write, then that is on them, not me.
I can't do anything about how others feel.
Later days.

I don't think you come across as a bitch. I think you sound like someone who isn't wish-washy. You know what's on your mind and you write it well.
One of my favorite things about reading your blog is that both the spelling and puctuation are correct. It drives me nuts to try and read through something that hasn't been written properly.

Some people have no clue on the hard times you have endured and you won't put up with any sh*t. I don't blame you. Your strong willed and for the ones who know you will stand by you and honestly don't think your a b*tch. For the ones who think you are, are immature adults waiting to grow up and in some cases will never happen. Your fine in my book, I think your a great person will alot of potential. Especially with your jewelery making. Keep up the beautiful work!!!!

I don't think it's really that they don't know what/who I am, they have a very good idea about that but they frankly, are immature and extremely silly and it drives me bonkers but I am polite and pleasant and the only time I get mad is when they act like total asses and then I have to set it straight.
I guess I'm just frustrated with how I'm perceived is all.
