Hmmmm Karen, I think of MYSELF that way! That I say too much too soon and I am too much to the point. I just think that trying to soften the blow, when I do it, comes off patronizing or apologizing for how I feel. That isn't what I want to do. My sister always brings up fights we have had and repeats what I said and I'm thinking "damn, that was so mean!" but she actually thinks it's good b/c she got my point and saw where she was wrong. Not that she was always wrong, but you know what I mean. For instance, she cries and gets her feelings hurt so easily, but then she is selfish and mean. So we were arguing and she is crying b/c I hurt her feelings but she's saying the most hateful crap ever at the same time. So I said "look, you can't be all sensitive AND a bitch. It doesn't work. So decide which it is you want to be and let me know. Then we can discuss this." It was all over the fact that she said it was none of my business if she wanted to run the A/C and leave ! her bedroom windows open b/c she smokes. I'm thinking, it's July in Texas and you have the A/C on 50 b/c you leave the windows open. I pay half the electric bill. How the hell is that none of my business and how is this even an arguement? You're wrong, you selfish wasteful cow! Shut the windows or I will break your freaking kneecaps. And then of course I said as much. yeah, me and kneecap busting! :)
