I have been thinking a lot about this whole 'list' topic. At first I was feeling pretty crappy about having put a list out there myself, mostly for being paranoid that I had left someone out, which I now realize that I did, and every post I have read since I have come upon people that I found their thoughts to be quite interesting to me and made a little mental note, so any list would be forever evolving. So now after thinking about it, I really do not feel crappy about it, because I mean, the whole list thing is pretty silly anyway. Why do I really care what list I am on or not on? Personally, I don't. It reminds me of a few munches I attended where someone had put together a play party afterwards, a private play party at their private home. Everyone at the munch was certainly not invited, the invitations were very low key as not to offend someone that was not invited, however, it is not a perfect world, and a few days later, word got out about the play party, and some of the non-invites were extremely upset and offended. It all got really blown out of proportion, and became a silly flame war that ultimately divided many members of this particular group. Some people seem to want so badly to fit in, to be a part of the club, to be part of the 'in crowd', and that's okay too. I used to feel that way, but then I realized I am who I am, I do not want to be one of those people that change depending on the company they are in. Why should I cheat myself out of being myself, when I think I am a pretty okay girl. If other people don't see that, oh well. If someone does not like me, well thats okay, because I do not claim to like everyone either. I have to take the good with the bad. No reason to sweat the small stuff. There is some saying about - You can please some of the people some of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time....or something like that. Wow....and I am the quiet one. (this wasn't edited or checked for spelling or grammar.....gotta have something for angelface to do....heh)
