Things I’m Not
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Life |After a funny discussion this weekend, while spending time with amazing college girlfriends, this subject came up.
What words do people NOT use or think of when describing you?
It got me thinking. I am generally not associated with the following words:
boring, a fighter, sober, a prude, depressed, low energy, slow, on top of things, modest, humble, patient, temper tantrum prone, frowny face, lazy, humble, embarrassed, shy, introverted, good with money, frugal, sensitive, profound, deep, emotional, pure, mellow
I said I was generally not associated with those words. For example, there are times I am sober. Duh, I work a full time job so I’m sober then. Usually. Or lazy, I can be that. Usually as I’m nursing a not sober moment (i.e. hangover). And I’ve been known to be in a depressed mood, but generally only when I’m with the wrong person in a relationship.
Let’s face it. That was a tough exercise. By tough I mean embarrassing. Who in the hell wants to share that they generally aren’t humble or patient or emotional. Help me out. Please share words that aren’t associated with you in my comment section. This would help me feel less ridiculous.

courtney: I love, love, love your “things people think I’m not, but I really am…” list. That’s my favorite. I’d like to add all those to mine own list. You make me smile.
