I liked what you said in the opening paragraph about lying in bed after a party or even sometimes any outing. Sometimes, I'm even thinking about the things I said. One of my friends is like you OVERTHINK everything. This is true, wait, what did she mean by that? :) Thanks for sharing your link.

That sounds exactly like me! Ha ha! My great-uncle always said I overthink everything and it is sooo true and I also wonder if things I said were misinterpreted,too.

I avoid being passive aggressive, and just go straight for aggressive. I don't like to have others beat around the bush for my sake, so I try to extend others the same courtesy. I believe that women are passive aggressive with each-other because, like men, we see everything as a competition. Men walk through the mall and think (as they pass other men) "he may be bigger, but I probably make more money", whereas women think something like "I would never wear those shoes with those pants, what is she thinking??". In the end, we as people want to believe that we have it right and those we compete against are inferior. I love your writing and just started following your blog, and I am (quite sincerely) looking forward to reading more by you!!

I think you are right--it is competition. And some people get soooo competitive it's like every sentence is a one-upping of the other person. Thanks for your kind words about my blog ;)

The 80's --a subtle time for fashion

There have been so many reunion tours lately that I can't help reminiscing on those days and wondering if Debarge will go on tour...and whether or not that would make the Horsemen of the Apocalypse show up. After the Spice Girls tour did so well I figured the NKOTB would tour again and now they're even doing a single with New Edition. NE was a little before I got into music and I didn't discover them until Bobby Brown went solo and then Johnny Gill came along and they kept talking aobut their old group. I loved Johnny's voice, so I became a NE fan by default. I even went to a New Edition reunion concert...along with a NKOTB one (before they felt too stupid to be called "kids"), a George Michael one, Color Me Badd (in my defense they were performing with Paula Abdul...does this make it better or worse?) and I even saw Tiffany in concert. Jealous? Thought so. However what I wore to the concerts was a crime against humanity. I distinctly remember a...

Autumn Memories

Why didn't I go to Carleton College in Minnesota? Sure I just found out it existed like, this minute, but that's no excuse. It's all picturesque like someplace one of the Wakefield twins (probably Liz, Jessica's too wild for that town) would have gone. Or where Nancy Drew would have gone to college during brief breaks of crime fighting and mystery solving. Instead, I went to school in the inner city just blocks away from the gang-infested ghetto and a stone's throw from Crack Alley, the sun dappled lane where all the drug/rehab meeting are so conveniently located near the drug houses. Brilliant planning on that one. Sure my school had it's perks, but it wasn't all cutesy. And, if I went down to the main campus that had more charm, well, let's just say that the old “charming” buildings stunk. They reeked of charm literally. And downtown Ann Arbor has never been my favorite place although if you want to try Ethiopian food and get a brownie from a place t...

Don't Blog Angry & the Field trip

-
I haven't blogged in a while because I think, as a rule, people shouldn't blog while angry and I've been less than enthusiastic about life since the flood in our place two weeks ago. I had been so excited to move into a renovated apartment and then, just 2 hours into the move, water came up from the sewer drain in the laundry room. I would hold a funeral service for my clothes, shoes, books, and scrapbooking things, but I fear it would be too emotional. So we were eventually moved to a new place across the hall (not pleasantly, mind you) and then our neighbor's place flooded as well. So I'm trying to be positive and not wait for the other shoe to drop. So I'm not even going to mention that fact my bathroom stinks like Snuggle when my upstairs neighbors wash or the fact my new garbage disposal doesn't work or the lack of a drying cycle on my dishwasher. Not even going to bring it up. On to more positive things that don't leave me weeping silent...
