Melinda
I work as hard as I can every day to get by on my own. When I’m done with one task I look for another to start on. This goes for, school, work, and life in general.
I know how to swing a hammer, re-cable a building, repaint a house, balance my check book and drive a car with a manual transmission. I vote.
When a friend needs help moving I’m out there with the boys hauling furniture and boxes not inside with the air conditioning scrubbing cabinets and getting in the way.
I will not wear white to my wedding. I don’t like how I look in white and I don’t put much store in the “symbolism” of the color in proximity to weddings. Nor will anyone be “giving me away.” Hell I might just take my mom’s advice and elope, I’m sure I could find a better use for the money.
I hate diamonds. I do not wear pink. And all of my jewellery is silver because I am allergic to nickel and hate gold.
I am respectful and courteous when interacting with new people. This is not a “benefit of the doubt” thing; this is a “how I treat my fellow human beings” thing. But the second someone starts talking down to me, insulting my intelligence or being down right unwarrantedly cruel to someone I care about, I call them on their bullshit.
I love verbal sparring. Comebacks feed my soul. And a good debate should last and pack a punch on either side of the argument.
My hobbies are typically male dominated: video games, table top games, D&D, and paint ball. I don’t cry when I lose, but I do get pissed off when one of the guys implies that I’m not as good as them because I am female and not because I’ve had less practice than they have.
I was a girl scout, and a tom boy, and a nerd and a loner. And now when a stick thin girl taunts me because I don’t wear double zero jeans I taunt her right back for being so insecure with herself that she has to make fun of me.
I call ‘em like I see ‘em. I favour truth over coddling. I’m a creative writing student and constructive criticism is always the flavour of the week. When someone cries that my critiques are too harsh I laugh and ask them how they’ll ever live if they get a truly bad review.
I am up front. I love myself and who I am.
