The darker me

October 22nd, 2003 | No Comments | Posted in Older Notes

I know I shouldn’t respond to the troll in this comment thread, take the high road and all; however, being quite the egotist, I feel I must retort. Before I begin, I will say I am not going to respond the questions of sexual activity with rural occupants. It’s absurd and without merit and therefore not worthy of response.

First, self-indulgent, why, of course I’m self-indulgent. See the tagline up there in the header “pleasure seeking since 1976″? Right, so, that’s clearly a fact. Good job for noticing. I’d hate to mislead anyone into thinking I had strong self-restraint and will power, because that’s simply ridiculous.

Second, egotistical. Hrm. Well I do have a blog where I talk all about myself all the time. I pontificate on my many whims and fancies and on my daily life. I’d say that is egotistical. Again, I must point to the header, hello, pictures of myself from every year of my life. I mean come on, I am clear obsessed with myself, and please don’t forget vain.

Third, bitch! I swear you hit the nail on the head. I am renowned among my friend for my tactlessness. My problem is I usually say exactly how I feel about stuff when I feel it, which can come across a bit abrasive. I am also completely needy, so I am constantly getting angry and bitchy with my friends for not giving me the attention I need. So, yeah, I am a total bitch.

Fourth, going around feeling sorry for myself as usual. Because of my self-indulgent egotistical bitchy qualities, I am often left feeling bereft. I do tend to mope about quite a bit, hiding behind a facade of martyrdom. I am the queen of pouting and the goddess of dramatics.

All this evidence of my darker side leads me to wonder if this anonymous troll knows me, or if it was just a coincidence. Can you see right into my black soul? Either way, the truth is out and I can’t deny it.

Side Note: This all comes off a bit cheeky, but really, it is true. Life is about balance. No one is perfect. Each person has negative qualities. Actually, if I ever meet anyone who is perfect and without flaw, I’d be scared because they would obviously be the devil. Pure good is as evil as pure bad. Each of us holds the keys to balance our own ying and yang, our own black and white and our own good and evil. Embrace your negative qualities. Only by acknowledging them can you truly move past them to promote your positive qualities.
