So, as of the date and time of this post, Mr. Polish is the only person I've friended here, but on the offchance that I add anyone else, I'm posting this section from one of my other blog profiles. It does not sum me up completely, as no silly blog ever could, but it's a better idea of what you're dealing with than say, the listing of so-called "pigeonholes" on the SG profile I have here. So, read on.
" So some of you have known me for quite some time, and some of you I don't know at all, so would assume that you don't know me either. You're the ones I'm filling out this section for, yes?
I grew up in a small town in southern Tennessee, save for a couple years in Manchester. I didn't like my family when I was living with them, but ever since I've been gone, we get along great. I was a smart and creative kid, but got bored with people easily. I still do. I've never been particularly sociable, even when I went out a lot. I prefer the company of animals, books, and trees for the most part. There are a few exceptions, of course : )
The realist half of me doesn't like the idealist in me. They quarrel often.
The stoic in me gets really annoyed with the bleeding heart at my center.
All freak accidents barred, I believe that worry will be the death of me.
I don't buy clothes for the name written on the label... I buy them because I like the way they look, the way they feel, the way they fit me, the way they accentuate my better parts. If you're shallow enough to judge me by my wardrobe and how dated or "unhip" it is, then you don't need to waste my time : )
I have long hair. I most likely always will. I spend a lot of time on it (when I have the time to spare), and I'm not going to cut it off to donate it to any person or organization for any reason. It means a lot to me and to my family. If you're going to tell me I'm silly or selfish for keeping it and fussing over it, don't waste your breath or my time : )
I've changed a lot as the years have passed, as people often do when things get turned upside down and shaken about. But I can say with absolutely honesty that I am happier now than I have ever been, and that I have found a promise of peace in my life as it is. I'm 22 years old, and I'm going to marry my best friend. We have a quiet life, and we prefer it that way.
If you were to encounter me on the street and try to talk to me, I probably wouldn't have anything nice to say to you. I'm hard to get to know, and I'm sensitive. I can be really vicious and impatient and rude, but I promise you that it's only out of annoyance with the world not being what it could be. It's beautiful and amazing, and it's the only one we have. The problem element? People.
Don't sell your religiosity on my doorstep. Respect my right to non-belief (or undecided belief or alternate belief), and I won't tear you a new one : )
My dreams entertain me. I make of them what I want to make of them, and I talk about them a lot, when I have them. Dream theories are interesting, but I'm not going to plan my life according to them, and I will not treat them as prophecies. My brain is off balance anyway : it would probably trick me into doing something stupid.
Corsets do not signify the bonds that women endured before being granted the same status as men in the western world. To me, they are at best a symbol of the pride a woman took in being shaped like a woman, instead of a twelve year old boy, and at worst? A lesser evil than those stupid magazines that tell you you should "drop 20 pounds fast!" on a crash diet just to squeeze into a swimsuit that doesn't flatter you anyway, or the ones that tell you that you need to look like an airbrushed celebrity in order to rekindle waning passion in your failing marriage. Work with what you have, and treat it well. It's the only body you have, right?
I both love and abhor the climate of middle Tennessee. Sometimes nothing feels better than stepping outside into what feels like a hot, wet blanket. I'd kill for that right now. This drought is awful. Regardless, the weather and the land? I couldn't leave it. Wouldn't want to.
Still interested? Post a comment, and we'll talk."
When I say that we have a quiet life and we like it that way, I mean it. I don't mean that we're uptight conservative traditionalists, because we're not and never have been. And really, what staunch conservative would have anything other than an anonymous profile on this site? I've dyed my hair, I've pierced my face, I've done more than my fair share of drugs and I used to drink myself to sleep. I'm not about that anymore, but I would be the last person to bitch at someone else for doing any of the aforementioned. I have had a long string of meaningless (sometimes random) physical relationships. They got old really fast. I don't think that having or not having piercings and/or tattoos should define whether or not a person is cool or worthwhile, and if you do, you need to move on : ) I'm not a big fan of gossipy, judgmental people at all, regardless of their conservative/liberal or traditionalist/freethinker status.
End caveat. Proceed.
