Tell me about it. Still, she's been much more discreet about what she's shared without my permission than some people's which is incredibly surprising given she's mine and all, so I can't be that upset.
And really, for a time I was sort of proud of being both those things. Maybe not in those exact words. 'Theatrical' and 'verbose' may have been the words I'd have chosen. But perhaps melodramatic might be more fitting for some of the things I've done. I think dousing the contents of a romantic rival's closet in vodka and threatening to light a match is probably a bit melodramatic.
Yeah. Thankfully, I think my daemon has the attention span of an actual Golden Retriever so if it ever tries to post anything without my permission I don't think it gets too far before chasing some critter.
i mean i guess i could call myself melodramatic too sometimes sometimes
Whereas mine happens to be far too much like an actual Siamese sometimes. I suppose I'm lucky leaving her alone to find her own fun resulted in this instead of knocking something breakable off a high shelf.
I don't know if it's always a bad thing, depending on situation. I used it to my advantage quite a lot, but it was sort of a necessary part of being an uncouth American around a bunch of Brits. It was part of my dubious charm. Actually still feels a little strange not to be causing scenes more than half on purpose when I'm in public sometimes.
Nor do I. I've had people who clearly intended to insult me do much more creatively, after all. Some for the same reasons, although phrased far less politely.
Very true. I tend to ignore it these days, but when I was younger I sort of fed off it. I enjoyed winding people up to the point where they would insult me because of the attention it got me in certain situations.
I suppose it doesn't, now. But there was a very brief time and place where being that sort of girl was something I could use. Mostly to draw attention to my ex husband and the work he was doing. Seeing this very loud, crass girl in London made heads turn, and then those heads would stop and listen to him.
It's rather hard to explain now, I don't think I could have even explained it then very well.
I would question the taste of someone who thinks a melodramatic girl sounds like fun, but, well. That would be sort of a pot and the kettle sort of thing.
While Gildad either couldn't or didn't want to find fitting words that would be a bit more complimentary, I think I posses a few other attributes that make it appealing in the right circumstance.
Having a flair for aspects of the theatrical arts, for starters.
Hmmm. If we're going for the same meaning and not bothering with the letter, 'theatrical'. If I were being particularly egotistical, I might have said magnificent.
Oooh, definitely a smart boy. I don't have nearly as much on stage experience as I would have liked for many reasons, but quite a lot backstage.
[was that meant to be a double entendre? who knows with Mandy]
I don't have very much experience in either, at least as not as much I'd like myself. I haven't always had the best opportunities where I'm from but I've made the best of it.
I always wanted to be on the stage, but I found myself attracted to very magnetic personalities who didn't know how to get themselves the opportunities to get their own careers going, while I did, so I put a lot of energy towards making their dreams come true instead of my own.
Not that I entirely regret it, as I learned quite a lot along the way.

half of being a dog owner is wondering what the heck my dogs ate
and trying to get them to stop eating things they shouldn't
i don't think i'm very charming when dramatic
maybe I should work on that
