those of you who know me, at all, know that i am, if nothing else, one thing: opinionated. unfortunately, i lack the ability to control that rush of adrenaline when confronted with a verbal altercation, and so my debating skills are severely stunted.
to put it another way, i get so worked up that i forget pretty much everything i could and should say.
i would love to be more assertive in my opinions. i would love to put people in their place when i see fit.
i've realized that one of the main reasons i don't assert myself more often is a deep desire not to draw attention to myself, because i am very afraid that the other party will comment on my weight. i have a deep fear of people noticing and insulting me about it.
on a more positive note, today was a much better day. in fact, i'd go so far as to say i think i look pretty good.
my cheek hurts, though.
OK, go.
