You Can’t Tell Me Nothin’

Oh hey there, haven’t seen you in a bit. My bad. Here is a quickie about things to not tell me. I get very annoyed.

Are you tired/sick/ok?
No, in fact I am well rested, ate a well-balanced meal, had a full 8 hours of sleep and I am feeling amazing! Truth is, I am not wearing any makeup. But, to save face I lie and tell people that I don’t feel well, didn’t get much sleep, or just woke up from a nap. Because yeah, that’s pretty embarrassing that people think I look ill if I don’t pencil my eyebrows, slather on foundation or use mascara. Asshole.

What are you?
I’m a fucking human. What are you? I get asked this a lot because I am mixed. It takes too long to review all of my ethnic background so I tell people I’m half white/asian or half chinese/italian. When in reality I’m half Chinese, and the other half is Italian, Irish, Scottish, French, and Cherokee. And I’m sure some other shit. We’re all mutts. I don’t ask what you are, because I know what you are. A human. And my race doesn’t define me, as it doesn’t for you.

I had a hamster once, he got sucked up in the vaccuum/ate my spaghettios/my German Sheppard made a meal of him AND HE DIED
Listen, I grew up in a household with a parent who had really bad asthma and was allergic to animals, so I never had a pet growing up. So I got a hamster in my early 20s and it fits my schedule because I work a TON. Regardless, I don’t need an explanation, its a fucking animal, its my pet, and I take care of it, I don’t pawn it off to another person. Anyways, lets say I did have a dog growing up and it got killed in a freak accident. If someone told me they just got a golden retriever puppy, I wouldn’t say, “Oh I had a dog once, and he got killed in a freak accident when I was 5”. Because that’s fucking weird to say. So isn’t it weird to say those things when I tell people I have a hamster? YES.

Some people need to think before they speak. I am one of them.
