You know how most people feel like they're "special" or "unique" and therefore other people must surely be interested in their day-to-day happenings? It's the reason why social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter exist; most humans have an egocentric impulse to notify the world of their every thought, opinion and emotion. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying this is a negative trait; it's specifically why I started this blog. I, too, feel that others should find me interesting and insightful. The jury is still out on that one though.
Anyway, as a barista and Seattlite, I've witnessed and experienced enough absurdity that I finally feel it is necessary to begin cataloging these occurrences. I also need an outlet to share some of my opinions, ideas or just random thoughts.
I should maybe mention that I'm an artist (translation: emotionally neurotic and overly insecure with a tinge of arrogance). I once heard the phrase "It's okay to be smarter than everyone in the room, you just don't need to tell everyone that." I struggle with this concept from time to time. To be fair, I don't really think I'm smarter than everyone in the room; I'm not a genius or anything. I just (on occasion) think everyone in the room is dumber than me.
I'm very honest - almost to a fault. I have a dry sense of humor. Very dry. A lot of people interpret me as being "bitchy" and I'm okay with that, for the most part. The truth is that I am very insecure and entirely too consumed with what others think of me. I'm working on that. I also have a poor track record for following through with new ventures so we'll see how long this "blogging" thing actually lasts.
I think that's it for now. Yup. I'm done.
