Because I think. Regularly. Even when it hurts.
Because I earned (and paid for) a degree in astrophysics despite being
told repeatedly that it would impact my chances of "landing a good man".
I'm devastatingly intelligent, and proud of it.
Because I could laugh without shame when a male co-worker commented on
my personality by telling me that I'd "be a lesbian if it weren't for
the fact that I prefer guys".
Because I salivate whenever I gut and butcher deer (or any other furry woodland creature).
Because I really, really enjoy holding the bag for the guys in my Krav
Maga class and then (when they start to tire) giggling at them to
motivate them to kick/punch harder.
Because the cruelty, abuse, and injustice in this world makes me want to
quit my day job, develop super powers, and roam the planet with a sharp
sword, cutting swaths through the unworthy and scorching the earth
itself with my just and righteous anger.
Because I have a sharp wit that makes me interesting, albeit
occasionally less than genteel.
Because I've pulled myself out of some miserable times in my life by
yanking firmly on my own bootstraps. I've learned that with anger (the
burning, driving kind, not the flailing about uselessly kind) and a
sense of humor, I can weather most of what life will throw at me.
Actually, naah. All of that is just because I'm me. I call myself a
Heartless Bitch because I want to and because I think I'll enjoy the
company it puts me in...
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
