Do I Have A Sign On My Back?

So, you're reading a blog post, right?  And in the midst of the blog post you realize, "Oh my gosh!  This is about me!"  And this is not said in a giddy school girl voice full of excitement.  More like "Are you kidding me?  GET A LIFE!"  Now, look.  I make friends, easily.  I am a very "chill" person.  Of course, I do have my moments of throwing fits, but I don't do that often at all.  Drama, people.  Nasty.  Don't like it, don't want it.  But, I swear I attract it like I have a huge sign on my back that says "Talk crap about me, cuz I like it" or "I would die without drama".  Now, I have never read a post that is literally saying my name.  But when you know, you just KNOW.  There are so many hints in a post that your name might as well be right there.  Know what I'm sayin'?  These posts are always superficial , because no one knows the real deal.  They just think they do.  I love people like that.

Not.

I can not figure out why people do this.  I doubt I will ever figure it out.  Some people are just this way.  Built to gossip, be rude, nasty, unpleasant, judgmental and mean.  Their choice.

My choice?  Chalk it up to extreme jealousy, rant with a friend, and be done with it.  In this case, I am ranting a bit on here to all of my blog friends (YOU!).  :)  I choose to surround myself with like minded people.  People that encourage each other, and like you for who you are, instead of only liking you for what you do.  My mom always told me my whole childhood, "You are who you hang out with".  I never got that until I grew up.  Why would I want to hang out with some who is rude, unpleasant, mean, nasty, judgmental, and likes to gossip?  I don't want to be like them.  Therefore I choose to hang out with people that are nice, encouraging, understanding, loving, caring, etc etc etc.  All of those things... I am and want to be.  Sure.  I have my flaws, but doesn't everyone?  But in the grand scheme of things... I am a lover not a hater.  ;)  haha.

I laugh at this because it all reminds me of a drama filled reality series.  And I am just the quiet one in the corner happy to be minding my own business with my like minded friends, while the "I 'think' I'm too good for everyone" girls stand in a huddle gossiping for the world to see.  They can have that limelight.  I don't want any part of it.  So, who's with me?

Pure awesome moment at Bloggy Bootcamp.
