today i will write about something, which all of you out there need to understand about me....the words thank you are really not a part of my vocabulary. now you may think that i sound like a bit of a B and well, i do. the thing is though, i am a very thankful person and many times i am generally surprised by a compliment. this surprise does not come from the fact that i dont believe the comment is true though, it comes from the fact that you noticed what i was trying to accomplish, whether it be through an outfit or through wacky advice. (i obviously just wanted to say the word wacky). many times instead of saying thank you...i say i know and then explain why i did such a thing or how i came up with an idea. i do not mean any harm by this, i am just trying to help the general public understand my personality (this is essential to life). so without further ado, here are some examples, which may help you understand:
1. Jen (friend): Michele, your hair looks great today, really soft and it falls perfectly.
Bonnie (other friend): yea, it really does.
Me (huge B): yea, i know...i think it has something to do with the shampoo to conditioner ratio, which i implemented this morning.
Jen & Bonnie: umm yea, that must be it.
Me: Oh, oh shit....and by all of that i meant thank you.
2. Danielle (another friend): thanks for the great advice about dating two boys at once. you're right i shouldnt have to settle on one if it's only been one or two dates.
Me: i know, that's how i live. once you think it will get serious with one then you choose.
Dani: yea true. you know your stuff.
Me: of course i do. and by "of course i do" i mean thanks.
3. Stranger: wow, great outfit.
Me: i know, i loved this when i put it on this morning.
Stranger:.....
Me: oh wait, thank you. sorry about that. (semi yelling as the stranger walks away)
so as you can see, i have a hard time with the words thank you. let me assure everyone out there though, that i sincerely do appreciate the compliments...i just have a poor way of showing it. next time please just call me out on my lack of thanks. also i know #2 may not have been the best advice to some of you, but that is a chat for another time.
later loves.
post script: i actually hate the words "i am sorry"....their absence from my vocabulary is very to different to that of the words "thank you".
