Holy Schnell, how many entries have been dedicated to LB and all the crap that's going on with him? I guess it's plain to see that I've been obsessed with him this past week.
But I've decided that I need to write about
something else, something nice and sunshine filled, maybe even with butterflies.
I decided that.
And then I sat here at the computer and thought, and thought and thought some
more but nothing nice and sunshine filled with butterflies came to mind.
I'm just not that kind of person. I'm overcast, dreary and rain soaked.
Battered but not beaten!
Highlights of my life have been my kids and my
husband, and the few people who have gotten in tight enough with me to be my
friends. And trust me when I say the few, I really do mean the
few. I'm not the kind of person that trusts easily. It has to be
earned, some people out there start with the assumptions that all people are
good and then loose some of the shine when they discover that the person that
they thought was a good friend and a good human being actually isn't. I
don't go through that, because I begin with the assumption that all people are
just out for themselves and I'm always looking at them, trying to figure out
what angle they are working, what it is they are trying to get from me by being
my friend. Yup, cynical right? Well it works for me.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't go through life pushing people away and keeping
a large, thick wall up around me to protect me from the mean and nasty people in
the world. What I do is go very slow. I take my time getting to know
people. I watch them, I observe them and I try to see how the cogs inside
their head turn.
And this leads me to talk about my friend Sassy. She is a geuninly good person. When she hears about some of the crap people do to each other it boggles her how folks can do those things and be that way. It boggles her because she would never do any of those things to another person, not because they are wrong, but because she just would never think of doing things like that. I think she is one of the last genuine good people out there.
Now don't get me wrong, she has flaws, she's directionally challenged (as am I), she's made spatial mistakes where she ended up hitting a large rock with her car, she's driven into bushes, and I'm sure that there are many other things that she could tell us she has done that weren't perfect. I know she can do that, because that's one of the things about her that really piss me off. She puts herself down. I hate that. She's a great person and she shouldn't feel the need to chip away at her own self to make other buttheads feel better about themselves.
Sassy is one of these people that will push you to be the best that you can be. She's a caring soul who really does want to help people. I have to say that she has to be one of the best friends that I have ever had in my entire life. If I had ever had a sister, I would have wanted her to be Sassy.
Sassy is having her annual 35th birthday tomorrow, which is why I'm singing her praises today. I was hoping to get as many folks as possible to drop by her diary and wish her a happy one tomorrow. I know that she doesn't update that often (one of her flaws, heh heh) but please wish her a Happy Birthday. She deserves to have one.
