Quilt Square Eight: so you want to be my friend, do you? do you really?!

being my friend is a challenge, both in real time & on social media, so I like to give it all to people up front. this has kinda become my one-minute commercial (like what one should have prepared for job interviews). it just makes eliminating the real people from the superficials (& the pickup-liners from the truly heartfelts).

are you sure you want to be my friend? i am a mess, not a hot mess, just a mess. i have major depressive disorder (MDD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from childhood trauma, & i suffer from severe & chronic panic attacks that can be debilitating. being my friend, even on FB is a challenge. oh, yeah, did i mention i am a comedienne? i know. how ironic, but fitting.

i no longer hold my tongue as i've finally found my megaphone. sex ain't my thing as it's always been obligatory. but, i still like to look & flirt. just know that that ain't a part of my life. i feel the same about exercise, too, even though i am studying to be a yogi at present.

i hold no religious ties, but i follow the teaching of christ (he said not to worship him, but to follow his example. so. . . naming a club after him seems like the ultimate form of worship to me) & honor pagan holidays & traditions (i do not participate in birthdays & commercial holidays as most of them glorify a person/people/group(s) of people). i do not worship the pagan gods & goddesses, but I follow their example of stewardship of the earth, herbs, & the healing magick of the latter.

i support our troops & our men in blue, but i will not honor the people that make them do such things. i am a believer that ALL life--from prostitutes. Prisoners,  & the homeless to the president of the united states—all life matters.

i feel compelled to let everyone know these things up front because most everyone that requests my friendship--online & in person--gets offended by me as I am an asshole, exhausted with me because of my disorders, or gets tired of me asking them why they think the way they do.

i may be a bit abrasive & come across as bossy, but i am loyal to those that are loyal. i will always be truthful, not matter what you ask, good, bad, or indifferent. i believe in swift justice, & i'll drop EVERYTHING to help those i love move, deal w/heartache, & celebrate! if i love you, i will try to do so without conditions. however, i am horrible secret keeper (not that i blab on purpose, just that if it comes up in a conversation i’ll use what i know as an example), so if it’s truly something you don’t want others to know DO NOT TELL ME.

if you truly think you can handle ALL of this, then, yeah. . . but think on it first. think about it. . . thoroughly.
