I have some troubles dropping my issues at the door. I’m one of those heart on my sleeve people and though I usually pride myself on my openness sometimes it’s not always the best quality in a group environment. If I had a bad night or I had a tiff with boyfriend- I’m not easily able to shut myself off. If someone asks me out of sheer politeness, “Hey Meg, how are you?” and I had a bad night/morning/whatever, they will almost without a doubt get every detail of said aggravation. Not good.
I am an over-sharer.

When I was in college, I used to waitress. I got so good at being able to turn off the motor mouth in me and smile- it was for the sake of tips. No one wants a bitchy waitress. I need to find that again. I need to find that balance where I’m outgoing and still myself, but a bit more toned down version of myself. I believe it’s called “professionalism?” I need to find that “off” button.
I’ve never been diagnosed with any kind of crazy. But I have to say I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if they came back to say- yep, you have a typical case of (insert random crazy-disorder) and you need a very large dose of (insert one of any bazillion prescribed anti-crazy medications here).
Then again… maybe it’s just one of those days. (I hope).
**I realize I have left myself open here for a whole slew of mockery and crazy jokes! I’m good at laughing at myself so go for it… but try to be a little kind here!! I also just realized that I have a category titled “Xanax induced sleep” for some irony… interesting… **

I think having a blog is the perfect solution for an over-sharer! ; )

I too overshare. And I have also thought to myself, geesh girl just stop up now while you’re ahead. But long ago I gave up the notion of changing myself for others.

I KNOW! I had to bite my tongue from telling my co-workers about my trip to the strip club this weekend. Because any sentence that ends with “…and they she stuck the pasties on his nose!” is not all that professional.

According to my mother, I play my hand close to my chest (or at least used to) – the notable exception is when some variant of False Accusation enters my day – like getting blamed for something I didn’t do. Then, as my LSH (Long-Suffering Husband) can attest, I will not Shut The Hell Up.
