Reading betty's journal

Okay, so I'm an evil muppet. I get myself in trouble all the time because whenever someone asks a question, I answer truthfully or with my real opinion. For example - I know this girl - a friend of a friend of a friend - who drives me batty. She always talks about nothing but sex, and her diatribes always start with "I'm not a freak but...." so I avoid her. She annoys the doodie out of me. Pretty much every time she walks up to me and starts talking, I walk away. I have tried to change the subject, I have tried tolerance, I even tried singing to myself while she was relaying her latest " i'mnotafreakbut...". So one day at a party, I sat down at a table in the back yard of my friend's house to smoke a cigarette, and here comes not-a-freak girl. Damn, I just lit my cigarette and I'm gonna have to put it out. Well, she sits down and starts i'mnotafreak-ing so I stub my smoke and start to stand up. She says, "um, Betty? Can i ask you a question?" I look around to the others at the table, tensing inside because I know I am about to commit some extreme faux pas by responding with a truthful answer to whatever question she is about to pose and I don't know how the others will react. So I say, "Sure, go ahead not-a-freak (names have been changed to protect the innocent, or not-so-innocent). She says,"You don't like me, do you?" So I respond in truth - "It's not that I don't like you, really. It's just that you annoy me.... all you ever talk about is sex, so whenever you start talking I leave. Like right now....." I step away from the table and walk inside of the house. So! If I happen to offend any of you with my answers, it is my nature. Sorry for any emotional stress i may cause you in the future. I will kiss your tooshies right now if you really need it to feel good about yourself, but this is the only time i will offer. take the free tooshie beso or leave it.

I am just me, searching for simplicity.........and a good hair stylist

In my opinion, the value of honesty is immeasurable, as long as you don't ham it up too much.

And as to the "emotional stress", I personally am well past the level of mental infancy where I would be crushed by one frank opinion.

So bring it on! ;)

But I can't find no place or nothin', where thrills are cheap, and love is divine
