when you grow up, your heart dies

hello bloggerinos

a couple of weeks ago someone described me as "mad at the world" and
compared me to ally sheedy's character in the breakfast club. now, she
might have been joking but i take offense at that. this is not the first
time that someone has compared me to this character. maybe its true. also
people have told me that i'm intimidating and appear standoffish and that
i don't get excited about things. i'm sick of people who don't know me
thinking that they do. i don't even dress all in black. what the eff?

things i am:
sarcastic
smartass sometimes
kind/caring
helpful
awesome
a little chubby
smart
funny
generous
demanding to boyfriends
occasionally grumpy
whiny/lazy
someone who lets a grunge rocker cut her hair
nice to strangers
generally happy person

things i am not:
ally sheedy
ally sheedy's character in the breakfast club
any character in the breakfast club
someone who eats breakfast
someone who is in a club about breakfast
someone with saturday school
a north shore resident
a compulsive liar
someone who carries a purse full of random shit
mad at the world
someone with dandruff
a member of the brat pack
someone who has been addicted to sleeping pills (like ally sheedy)
someone who needs a makeover from molly ringwald

amen. you're totally awesome and not at all a big lump of sulking weirdo.

i get told that i look like I'm scowling all the time, or that I too appear "mad at the world." i think it's when i'm thinking or concentrating. i was once accused of "pouting through a whole year of high school" which at the time hurt my feelings but was probably true. But i don't even feel mad, i guess i just look bitchy without meaning to.

But YOU don't scowl. is it maybe because your eyebrows are so awesome? sometimes people mistake good grooming habits for meanness.

I am a litte behind the times so maybe you won't see this here comment so maybe I should email you but I'm feeling all huffy. So. I have to say that whoever said that obviously doesn't know you because you are definitely NOT a "mad at the world" person. I also don't think you are intimidating or standoffish. In fact, I've seen you bend over backwards to make sure people feel included and comfortable and unawkward (I know I made that word up but its TRUE) AND another thing. You get excited, spastically so, about a lot of things and are generally actually one of the most positive people I've ever met in a not at all faking it way. For real. So yeah.

As someone who basically went to a "Breakfast Club"-type High school (Shermer is a name of a road in my hometown ) , and having known many Ally Sheedy types, I would have to say that if Raedy was anything like Ally Sheedy I would not have dated her for four years or much less lived with her! Besides, if anyone saw War Games, that would be more of an Ally Sheedy that Raedy resembles, except hugely more of a bad ass.
