So I’m sitting in Mo’s cube talking to him when our Secretary comes over and says, “Hey, want to hear a really funny story?” We tell her sure tell us what you’ve got. She starts telling us that this friend of hers was dating this girl for a week. He thinks that he really likes her so after a week they sleep together. He comes back later and tells our secretary that he wants to break up with this girl. She ask why and he basically blows the question off and asks how he should break up with her since they’ve slept together. A couple of days pass and he hasn’t done it, she asks that the deal is and he finally says that she has a tail. Like that guy in the movie, “Shallow Hal.” I was like, what’s so funny about that? Her response was, “She has a tail, I just think that’s funny.” Then she get’s made a me because I’ve been supposedly acting like I’m better than her. Doesn’t that seem a little hypocritical? Here she is acting like she’s better than someone else just because they have a physical deformity and she get’s mad at me because I’m not really interested in hearing her talk about things that I can’t relate to in the least. I’m not interested in sleeping with every woman on this planet and I certainly wouldn’t be sleeping with anyone after just one week, let alone one night. She does that crap all the time. I’m sorry, I know that I have my own issues so I certainly don’t think that I’m better than anyone else, but there are somethings that I don’t agree with. I’m not interested in partying every night so that I can’t get up and be at work on time. I’m not interested in sleeping around. I’m not 21 anymore, I did my fair share of drinking when I was younger, but I don’t care to do it anymore and I don’t really care to be around the people who do. That’s just not who I am. But to get mad at me because I supposedly think I’m better than you when you don’t even give someone a chance because their different from you? That’s a total load of crap. No, I don’t have a tail, and neither has anyone that I’ve ever dated (to my knowledge) but I’d like to think that it wouldn’t matter. By the time I got to the point where I discovered that you had a tail I would think that you would have told me and I would think that my emotions for you would over ride the importance of any physical feature. I guess I’m just weird, I care a lot more about personality than physical features. She thinks that people want her because she’s so beautiful, she doesn’t realize the only reason people want her is because they figure there’s about a 90% chance they’ll get laid. She says she’s not proud of the things she’s done in her life, but I see not effort to change coming from her. If you know and feel that what you’re doing is not right yet you make no effort to change, I have a hard time respecting you. Don’t think I’m the one being a hypocrit now because I’ve had a very hard time respecting myself in the past. I’d like to think that when someone helps to take the blinders off and show me who I really am and not what I think I am that I have the ability to understand that and to change. I’ve already done a good bit of it and that’s probably why I was so offended by her being mad at me.
