Happy St. Patrick's Day! I spent a bit of time this morning freaking out that I didn't have any fun St. Patty's stuff to wear on camera tonight. I had to get crafty. I now have green sharpie marks all over my hands. We'll see if it was worth it later. If I at least get a few chuckles at the effort I put in, then it was worth it.
I woke up with an extreme sense of motivation this morning. Worked out, cleaned my "slut room", cleaned the kitchen, took out all the trash and recycling, cleaned out the fridge, wiped all the counters down, loaded and ran my dishwasher, took a long hot shower... That's a heap of accomplishments, all before I even had my cup of coffee. I'm now super-comfy on the couch and catching up with Twitter and the forums. It's a great day!
There is one thing I wanted to discuss, though. My personality.
With as many people as I have in my room who get along with me and understand what makes me tic, there will always be a few who just don't. I don't know what to do in this situation. I have been the way I am for years and years, so when I do or say something that another person takes personally, I really am at a loss as to how I am supposed to react. I am kind of a mix of sweetness, sillyness, and sarcasm. You really can't just get all one or the other. It's a packaged deal.
It comes naturally to be nurturing and sweet. I love to make really heartfelt connections with people. It is also second nature to be sarcastic, brutally honest and possibly make jokes that poke fun. This is the sense of humor I was raised to have. I feel badly when someone takes my humor the wrong way, but I can't change who I am. I am never going to be able to please everyone all the time. In a room of 200-900 people, it would be exhausting to try. I'm just going to continue being myself and having fun.
So I'll apologize in advance, here. I am sorry if I ever say something that offends or upsets you. I don't mean anything in a personal way, and I hope you can just take a step back and giggle with me. Giggles make the world go round, ya know!
