Warning: The Following Post Is Not For the Faint of Heart

On a cloudy Saturday morning in the heart of Nashville, TN, a thirty something single woman awoke. As the rain trickled steadily outside, she slowly got out of bed. Stretching as she moved to find her shoes, she catches something out of the corner of her eye. As she makes her way toward the living room her eyes fall upon a gruesome scene. There are parts scattered about every where. She feels last night's dinner slowly make its way back up. A crime has been committed in her own home. In her very own living room. Who could DO such a thing??? The authorities were contacted. They took photos of the scene and are conducting an investigation.

Below are pictures from the crime scene. I warn you: they are disturbing.

*Okay, so maybe I watch a little too much CSI.

Unrealistic Expectations

I am getting really, really tired of people telling me I am too reserved and not sweet enough. First of all, who asked you??? If you don't like it, move along to someone else. So, I'm not some little withering tulip Southern Belle, what do you care? I am not rude or condescending. I am always polite. I am upbeat and optomistic. Why do I have to be everything else just because you want me to?

This is me. This is who I am. I am reserved and shy about letting people in. Maybe I do use humor and sarcasm to guard myself. Tough. Deal with it or get out of my way. I don't recall asking for your time or attention anyway.

Although I am always striving to better myself, I don't plan on changing who I am at my core. I am sarcastic. I am a smartass. I am a little rough around the edges. I am tough. I am tenacious. I am blunt.

Eventually, however, if you earn the right, you will also see what else I am. I am considerate. I am thoughtful. I am caring. I am dependable. I am sweet and loving. But I'm not just going to throw those things at anyone that walks down the damn road. You have to earn the right to get past the sarcasm and see what lies underneath. If you don't want to put in the effort then don't. I don't care either way.

The people I have in my life today are the people that earned the right to receive every aspect of me. If you want to be included in that group you have to put in a little effort. I am not just going to hand it to you because you decided to throw a few cheesy lines my way. I'm not going to put my guard down just because you think you are worthy.

My guard is up for a reason right now. I just got out of two back to back relationships in which I was seriously screwed over emotionally. If you take the time to get to know me and ask, I would share that with you and help you to understand a little more of why I am who I am. But instead you want me to continually throw you scooby snacks because you give me a little attention and think you should be rewarded.

When you put in some serious time to get to know me I will put in some serious time making it worth your effort. Until then...BITE ME.
