Your Inconsistencies

[palemoon2035]

Inspired by conversations stemming from the Where Are You From thread and other conversations I have had.

What about you is very inconsistent with what others would expect? Perhaps there is a stereotype about what people are like about where you are from, but you break it. Perhaps you follow a certain lifestyle, but do a few things that would suprise us. Discuss!

Me? Well, I only eat eggs and meat from free range animals, but I go to Taco Bell at least once a month.

Like I would open up that can of worms. *giggles*

Oh this is a neat idea! I'll give it a try. Let's see... I pride myself on not taking any shit from anyone but I'm ALWAYS well-mannered. It's just an automatic response. So after someone makes a less than polite comment, I hardly ever fire off the zinger they deserve. Mostly I just keep smiling. Maybe one doesn't tip the other but I do feel that I should stick up for myself more, back up my opinions. This is always really surprising to my friends and family. Maybe I'm loud and obnoxious around them? Hah.

Also I loathe onions but adore those shoestring onion rings. Not the big fat pieces, though. Only the skinny ones!

Inconsistencies~

I consider myself queer~very queer~but I talk to a man.
I am a Top~very fucking Toppy~but a rare few can get me to bottom and ONE could get me to submit.
I love women but am far more comfortable around men HOWEVER I don't trust the average man as far as I can throw him.
I love women with curves, lots of curves (I call'em thick'ems) but I absolutely LOATHE the way I am built. (I like women built like me but I hate MY build).

Hell I could go on for days...
BUT these are the ones that spring immediately to mind.

I have trouble communicating effectively with people who have not learned to read between the lines of my words. Either I try to sugar coat things too much, or I am too blunt. It is hard to find the in between.

Sometimes I have trouble putting my thoughts into words. I think in rapid strings of images, emotions, sensations. It can be very hard to pin down my thoughts sometimes and put them in a way even I can understand them, let alone other people.

I've no doubt the two are linked together.

There are more but I have used up my mental focus tonight.

 

[palemoon2035]

NIN is one of my favorite bands...and so is ABBA. I like to listen to Korn...and Barry Manilow.

 

[IvoryTigress]

I hate mirrors. But if there is one around, I can't look away from it.

 

[palemoon2035]

I love Rhianna and Husker Du

I judge people for liking Rihanna and Pink, but I cringe when someone judges me for my taste. I just want to punch them. Ok, so I like Take That too. Wait, this wasn't supposed to turn into another Confessional...

 

[palemoon2035]

BOTH THOSE WOMEN ARE AWESOME!!

*cringes....then hugs you*

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

interjects to say

I want to have lesbian babies with Rihanna.

leaves.

 

[IvoryTigress]

Might be secretly in love with P!nk...

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

Might be secretly in love with P!nk...

iz definitely in lust with Pink

 

[thestruggle]

iz definitely in lust with Pink

swoon. Her lips are wonderful.

Another inconsistency? I encourage everyone to relax and then run around doing everything. This totally stresses me out and I never learn. I also consider myself very interested in literature but I rarely pick up a "classic" anymore, the last one probably being Camus a few years ago. I'm much happier reading books published in the last thirty years or so.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

Major inconsistency~

I wish for the world to be MORE tolerant, less prejudicial etc. etc...but truth be told I am very intolerant and exceedingly prejudiced~not so much against a skin tone but against an attitude. *nods*

*blinks*

That sounds awful, nevertheless tis true.

Minor one~

I find myself wanting to be skinnier while wishing that almost EVERY other woman I meet would have just a *Leeeetle* bit more meat on their bones. (I was my happiest at 118, but I ended up in the hospital for weeks because my body hated me at that weight...and screwed up big time).

Another minor one~

I hate dominant men...but am drawn to them.
I loathe dominant women...but most of my best friends ARE.

(That just makes me a friggin' bundle of contradictions, geesh!)

Major one~

I very rarely discuss religion~not because I don't care/don't believe but because I care entirely too much.

 

[IvoryTigress]

I enjoy seeing others working towards better fitness and healthy living and helping them with whatever knowledge I have....but i'm horrible at following the healthy rules and guidelines when it comes to my own health....which usually makes me feel hugely hypocritical.

 

[palemoon2035]

I love this! I think this shows how human we are!

For the record, I don't hate any particular musician, nor do I feel it ever right to question anyone for liking anyone or anything I don't care for. That takes away from our sense of individuality. I do, however, despise the record executives that over expose and exploit others, often asking them to be someone they aren't. Diamonds is performed by Rihanna, but it was written by Sia. Sia is a strong and talented artist and I hate that she is often overlooked. Rihanna is sooooo beautiful and she is talented. I am just tired of being bombarded wit a few select artists. So, I take it out on them, instead of the money hungry execs.

I am a music snob who judges others for their snobbery. I have my own guilty pleasurss that I should not feel guilty about.

On a lighter note, I grew up on a lake, but I am deathly afraid of water. I am quite sure I drowned in a previous life.

Oh, Luna, I lust for your curves...and the curves of any other woman who posts here.

 

[Light Ice]

I don't give a shit about hardly a one of you and, yet, all of your nonsense infuriates me.

 

[Miss_Vivi]

Quoted because this is the most honest thing I've seen him say.


My inconsistencies are many... yet I like the duality of my choices and vices. Like being poly, but wanting all my partners to belong to me (iz troo). Or the consistent back and forth of my cravings between genders (Can't I just pick one dammit?!)

Or, the recognition that I am queer and thusly part of the LGTBQIA (Did I get them all?) community, but still feeling like more of an ally (or trying to be) than an actual member.

Or hating the idea of what women are "supposed" to look like, but still supporting it here and other places. Like I'm somehow less than pretty and pretty is something I have to be, and ascribe to be. When really, I know that I don't owe anyone pretty or sexy or fuck you my lace is for me and has nothing to do with what gets you going.

 

[palemoon2035]

Actually...nonsense could easily infuriate you independent of who is responsible for it. So, your anger or state of being annoyed is in no way related to whether or not you give two shits about anyone here.

 

[Faux_Pas]

I don't give a shit about hardly a one of you and, yet, all of your nonsense infuriates me.

And yet you offered me a beer.
Never did it, but you did.

Though that's a good thing....

I'm paranoid of other people. Scared shitless of being in front of others. I hate crowds, I honestly hate being around other people.
My job makes me deal directly with people daily, and need to come off as their friend. I actually LIKE my job, aside from having to go out for it. To have someone say hi to me and recognize me from my job weirds me out and I hide from them until they go away.

Offering a stranger a beer, or writing with them in any capacity, is more about seeing if something works to mutual benefit rather than investing in them on a personal level.

Can that mature into an investment? Absolutely. I'm invested in a want few here. But as a general rule those that I don't care about, or consider or think about or harbor any feelings about, are the ones who irritate me the most with their mind numbing dribble.

Its a contradiction because I tend to want to focus all my attention on the people that contribute to my life, good or bad, but I end up spending energy on people who don't impact my mood, day, or thoughts in any way other than the instant.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I am a woman, but I like to shoot guns. Maybe that isn't necessarily an inconsistency. But even though I like to shoot, have a concealed carry license, carry a gun regularly, and if not a firearm, then a stun gun, yet I absolutely hate the idea of hurting anyone, and would probably let myself be hurt before hurting anyone else.

I like bluegrass music and classical. One day I might be listening to Celtic folk music, the next I might listen to blues, or maybe even Native American pow-wow drum songs.

In my job, I am all about lines, angles, numbers...left brain stuff. yet I absolutely love philosophy, especially spiritual matters. I'm not the least bit religious though.

These are just a few.

And these, among many other reasons, are why I love you.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

And these, among many other reasons, are why I love you.

The feeling's mutual.

 

[tigerlilyxx]

I'm five feet tall and look younger than I am, so people tend to assume I'm weak/innocent/demure, but I'm really not, and when they get to know me, they meet an entirely different person than they thought they'd meet.

Also, I'm tough. I talk tough, I act tough, I mess around. It makes people think I'm insensitive and rude and don't really have feelings. They couldn't be more wrong.
