I’m finding myself rather boring again, which is why I haven’t written. I know I’m slacking on my update manifesto (that didn’t take long) but I just … suck. I suck, ok. I’m sorry.

We had a little unplanned drinking night last night and we were playing the card game Thirteen (ever played that? God I’m bad at it.) We played “question and answer” which is where the winner gets to ask the loser any question they want. It comes out in the course of the evening (in one of the answers) that I’m … mean.

Am I mean?

This is something that gets tossed out a lot. Like, oh ha ha, Anne is so mean. I have a fairly sharp tongue and I’m very sarcastic (far more so in person than in writing, if you can believe it) but I don’t really like to think of myself as mean.

I acknowledge that I can be a mean drunk. Not in a, like, smack my bitches up type way, or anything. I’m not an angry drunk, it’s just that alcohol lowers the volume on that little voice inside my head that normally says “you shouldn’t say that” before I blurt out mean things. When I’m liquored up things that normally would stay inside my head seem to come out my mouth. So yeah, I can be mean while under the influence.

Does that make me mean? I really hope not because I don’t think I like myself if I’m mean. I mean, I didn’t use to be an unkind person. When I was younger I was nicer I think. As I’ve grown up and into my personality … well, it’s not always a personality that I like very much. I’m funny now, and much more outgoing and confident, but I am also … kind of a bitch. And mean.

I get frustrated because the nice things I used to think were true about myself are no longer largely what people see when they meet me. They’re still there, but they aren’t dominant anymore and I’m not all that pleased with this state of affairs.

Ha, ok. This wasn’t really what I sat down to write about. I don’t want to make anyone feel bad (especially those who were there for the aforementioned game of Thirteen. Hi guys!) It’s just something I’ve been thinking about lately. It’s kind of a weird thing to decide you don’t like certain aspects of your personality, especially when they may be the dominant aspects.

I need to be not mean. I don’t really know how to go about that. I’ll work on it.

Quote of the Day

"They have lots of disturbing cross sections of animal reproductive organs"

Worried by

The fact that I just walked upstairs and saw one of my new housemates standing on her desk chair slowly revolving in circles for no apparent reason.
