Sunday Scribblings Post-Prompt "I don't like myself, I'm crazy about myself"
“I don’t like myself, I’m crazy about myself!” -Mae West
I’m proud of my store of seemingly useless information. It’s fun being the person that people come and ask about random stuff they want to know. It’s even more fun being right when they ask. I have a good vocabulary and I’m known for always having a book with me. There’s always a book in the backpack I use as a purse because sometimes a person ends up having some hurry up and wait time and having a book to read makes it much, much easier to be patient.
I can be a very determined person. I’ll keep trying and trying until I get something right. For the first time, I just conquered a video game. I didn’t play it all the way through all at once, but I did play it steadily until, finally, today, I got through the entire thing. It might not sound like much, but it was a goal that I set for myself and I achieved it. I also love learning and trying new things, which means that my determination serves me very well/
I’m proud of my writing, because I have a great imagination. My world view isn’t the same as everyone else’s, and I think other people’s perspective is something worth celebrating. There’s this stew of facts, interests, events, and characters that percolates through my mind on a near constant basis. As those parts brew together, ideas form and then, I start committing things to paper The same thing goes for my other creative pursuits. I love it when others perceive me as a creative individual, because that is the way that I feel about myself. I know that not everyone could make a gargoyle out of socks, or even if they did, it wouldn’t look the same way that mine did. I also know that no one would make a stuffed frog the way that I did, or the custom action figure that I’m making for a Christmas gift this year.
I’m not a very girlie-girl, but I’m still very feminine. There are a lot of things that I do that would be considered atypical of a woman. I love playing pool. I still read comic books. I love action movies and animation. The real kick is that it can take me about fifteen minutes to get ready to go. I don’t like being kept waiting, and I really don’t like keeping others waiting. I also dislike the idea of being completely helpless. There are some basic things that I think everyone should now how to do, regardless of their sex. It’s important to know how to change lightbulbs, change tires, check oil, plunge toilets, and operate basic tools for anyone.
I have a great sense of humor and a flair for telling stories that makes my friends request certain ones over and over again.
I really do genuinely like myself. It isn’t that there aren’t things I need to work on, but it seems like people spend too much time these days tearing themselves and each other apart. Maybe more projects like this would help make people realize that there’s more to like about themselves and it would make the world a better place.
