MY PERFECT LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS

Hey folks,

I hope you all had a good week. I also had to deal with some drama at home, but you know how these things are…

Anyway, a wise man once told me that when you think you are ready to settle down and get married, you should first of all ask yourself if indeed you can marry yourself. Well, last weekend, I got to asking myself that same question. If I proposed to me, and I accepted, would I like what I encounter with me? You see, I may seem pleasant on the outside, but getting to know the real me may be a daunting task.

First of all, I am not your typical morning person. Apart from the early morning crankiness before my morning exercise, I would have the sinuses to deal with. The thing is, my nose seems to wake up about two hours after I actually get up and so the noises I would hear are those of me trying to breathe without my nose…technically. One time, my mom said I sound like an old locomotive engine starting up after been out of use for several years. After my morning exercise and coffee, I like to delve straight into work. I don’t have time for morning chit chat and if I tried to start a conversation with me, I would probably receive a very stern verbal warning.

I get into a better mood by noon. I can be available for lunch and some good ol’ conversation. I like to surprise by showing up to sweep me away for a brief lunch date if I have the time. But if you don’t have the time, it will be taken as irresponsible and unacceptable. I am your average evening person and that’s because I am less cranky at that time and the chances of me upsetting myself by opening my mouth are greatly reduced. I like to hang out and have a good laugh after work. But that should be in a place and at a time picked by me, if not…let’s just say it wouldn’t be worth my while.

I always like to win an argument and one I cannot win with words, I have a signature look that would says in any language “You poor ignorant fool”. I am often very suspicious and like to take everything with a proverbial pinch of salt. If I suspect that I have been told a lie, I wouldn’t stop until I uncover the truth. I see it so clearly because I happen to have undergone intensive FBI training in my previous life.

Did I also mention that I was selfish? I also like to think the world revolves around me. Well, quite frankly, it does. If not, why would I being considering getting married to me?
