I’m pretty random and absolutely ridiculous. I’m one of
those people that you have to get to know first and then decide if you like me.
My sister says I have RBF syndrome (resting b*tch face syndrome). Apparently
when I’m thinking or not doing something I pull an angry face which prevents
people from actually talking to me. And here I was thinking that people just
hated me. My sister doesn’t live in the same city so when she comes to visit
she is kind enough to let me know I’m doing it. The rest of the time I’m on my
own and have people that get to know me ask questions like “you are so funny
and sweet! Why don’t you have a boyfriend?”.
Apparently my face is the problem. And if it’s not my face it’s my
personality. I am a diplomat’s daughter,
meaning I have lived overseas. I get irritated when people ask me if I learnt
Chinese while I lived in Japan. I’m sorry but I thought it would be more
convenient to learn the language that they speak in the country. I am shocked
when I say I’m from South Africa and people ask me why I’m white. Well you know
that thing that Michael Jackson did? Yeah I had that done too. Good heavens the
stupidities that people ask. And the worst is these are supposed to be educated
people that have travelled. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the sharpest pencil in
the box but I know enough to hold my tongue before I ask things that will make
me look stupid. Ah and then we have my
accent. My lovely people, I have an international accent that sounds mostly
American. Most of the time when people
ask me about it I just say I’m from Georgia (the state not the country) since
most people in South Africa don’t really know much about the US anyway they
just accept it. I say Georgia because I have friends there and it’s the only
state I’ve been to. I’ve had people think I was mocking them and others who
thought I was just faking it to get attention.
Anyway, enough with the rants. I have found the solution to my
unfriendly face!!! My dog Lola. People think she is very pretty and want to pet
her. So since I’ve gotten her I’ve gotten to talk to a lot more random people.
I really thought for a while I should take her to be a doggie model but then I realized
I was talking about my crazy brat. She has this amazing ability to sense when
you want to take a picture of her. You just have to THINK about taking a
picture and she goes from posing to pulling a retarded face. Oh wait… I do that
too. Dammit dog! Stop doing what I do and do what I say! I’ll try working on
getting a picture of her to post… you know, where she actually looks nice and not like shes ignoring me :(
