Woah Woah Woah, Nuh-Uh, Bitch.

OK, firstly! New Blogger, say whaaaat?

I'm fairly apathetic towards updates and such, but this is nice I suppose. Like, I've never freaked out any time Facebook changed something; as long as I can use it, I don't care. But things are evolving, oh my brothers. Soon it'll be Google+ and new Blogger and fancy Youtube all over the place.

Ahhh interwebs, I sort of miss the classics, like the original Youtube, with stars.
And MySpace.

Anyway.

I am obviously a person who is not afraid to speak their mind, like, ever. I'm fairly open about my love of sex and drugs, and I make my opinions known whenever I feel like they should be. I feel that honesty is always the best policy, and should only be put aside in self-preservation situations (ie lying to ones parents about whose house one is sleeping at, or cheating on a chemistry test in order to pass the class. That's fine.)

Unfortunately, my new policy of radical honesty has been getting me into trouble. It's not that I don't lie, ever, its that I don't tell white lies anymore. If that dress makes you look fat, I'll let you know. I feel that it would be more of a disservice for me to lie to you and set you up for humiliation than to simply quiet any foolish notions that you may have from the get-go.

The thin-skined friends I have tell me I'm being mean, to which I say, woah woah woah, nuh-uh, bitch. I'm being honest when asked my opinion, not going out of my way to put people down. There is a difference!

It is definitely not my fault that society has conditioned people to expect to hear only nice things from their friends. Simply because I am not saying what they want to hear doesn't mean that I'm saying over-aggressive bullshit meant to hurt their feelings.

In my opinion, true friends are nice, but truthful. Hurt feelings are collateral damage.

It's not like I'm never nice, because I can be very kind and cordial. I'm not a constant stream of smiles and thoughtless compliments, but I'm not like, rude to people on principle. I'm nice to people who I like, neutral but polite towards strangers, and only ruthlessly mean to a very select few people whom I dislike.

That group of people is very small, I promise!

I don't know.

Maybe I'm just soulless and destined for Hell. Whatevs. I'm down for some warm weather.
