Generally speaking, how do you think others perceive you?
Talk about your dangerous questions. I'm sure that everybody out there who knows me could contribute their own opinion on the subject, though please note that I'm not asking you to. I wish I could sit here and say, "Oh, I never wonder about that" or "It doesn't matter" or "What do I care what other people think?" I've always wanted to be one of those people who didn't care, and just did their own thing. But really I can only think of one person I ever knew who was really like that, and that was Oz. And maybe I'm totally wrong there. Maybe it just seemed like he didn't care, because he didn't speak up. Though I did get to read his mind once, briefly, and. . .well, I'm still not sure what was going on there.
As far as I can tell, the people who make the biggest noise about not caring what other people think are usually the ones who care the most. The ones who really don't care, well, they don't really notice that they aren't caring, if you see what I mean.
All of this sounds like a way of avoiding the question, and I'm trying to get better about that especially after the comments my professor put on my last essay exam in English. Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to get Warren to look like me long enough to take my exams for me. Well, I do, but I've done the body switch thing once, and that was enough.
So, okay, I guess people think of me as this totally confident butt-kicking woman warrior power chick. Which, if it isn't completely obvious from this answer, I'm not. I mean, yeah, I kick some butt when it's required. Or convenient. Or, just sometimes, when it's fun. But really, I'm just a girl trying to get by in the world. I'm thinking about passing finals next week more than I'm thinking about the next apocalypse. So that's me, Buffy. Just a girl.
Anything I forgot?
