But I bet you all knew that I
am too long-winded to be a bit part player in anything.
I need to get too much of my
opinions into the conversation.
To be honest, over the years
I have met a few, usually women that give me a run for my money, that is with
sounding off on their need to inform too…!
Not just in polite back and
forth conversation, but in what used to be called as: one upmanship: The art of outdoing or showing up a rival or
competitor, as in exploits, privileges, or honors.
Although, to be fair, most of
the competitors in my contest/conversations online are more about us seeing how
many words or answering with nearly novella capacity length verbiage our
personal info, ideas or need to be known reasoning’s and that can be quite
exhausting even for this prolific writer!
During the day I do so much prefer
the simple replies: likes or LOLs or nearly anything that does not require exam
quality essay explanations, ya know?
Boredom is not what it’s
cracked up to be… than why... one might ask does one feel the need to get their
point across with so much gusto to want to be heard, really?
Sadly, I haven’t a clue.
I wasn’t in a BIG family where
no one listened to me; no, I was in a family where my voice was heard and
respected for what I did have to say.
In fact, as a small child the
phrase, out of the mouths of babes, I do recall hearing quite a bit by my elders around me.
Even then I was considered an ‘old
soul’.
Supposedly that is why it
wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I behaved like my peers who I used to think were childish!
Oh sure as a youngster I did
misbehave or to some that might have been acted my age, occasionally.
I can recall my best friends
in junior high and high school telling me to lighten up and not take things so
seriously.
Ah, and so speaking with new people
has always been a damned if you do or damned if you don’t type of a thing.
Sure we all want to multiply
our friend’s base, and by numbers alone you all can see that I am wide-open to
new people, but in reality no one can speak to each and every one of them. I
currently have 2,572, FB friends, but it fluctuates daily. The ones I do talk
to are not all on my friend's list, but most are, actually, just one isn’t right
now that seems to like to talk to me in essay composition form, every few days…
Who knows why that is?
Oh that’s right, she reads and
comments on my blogs, and I do like that she does that. But my responses had
become so extensive that I took to talking/writing back to her on her message
section on her FB timeline instead of on my blogs comment site for all to see.
What goes online stays online, you all know that!
She is local and neither of us
has requested the other to be friends with; and that is fine with me too and
her apparently as well.
The only other long-winded
writer that I can count our conversations as mini novel form replies is my one FB
friend with her own site for people with commonalities in their ills for open
discussions and that is why I feel free to be my usual opinionated self! She is
a researcher and quite knowledgeable on all topics to do with nearly
everything, but I think my feelings to not be as rigid in thinking about our
mutual access to many items of interest is entitled for everyone to express why
and what they think, does that make any sense? And since she is so well educated and astute and
respectful of others I so enjoy playing the devil’s advocate to her tried and
true ways of thinking!
YEP, the devil made me do it,
now that other gal might think I am evil, she appears to be somewhat of a
religious person who teaches little ones the bible… and not to say that she might be a bit of
a zealot was evident in how she always closes her messages to me… “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” Which scares
me; now don’t tell me that doesn’t give you a bit of fright too?!
Don’t want to
mess with any of that!
And Hubby and
me having had three religions in our households at one time…!
We have since
narrowed it down to none that is unless there’s a holiday that we both enjoy,
of course! INSTALL BIG SMILE HERE!
One never
knows if I am kidding or not… (Shush everyone else, in case she reads this!
Hello if you have…) But not kidding at all really, that is… or maybe I am?
On that note
of who cares, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy
good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your
overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time
please be here or be square, ya hear!
