if i could have described my mood this past weekend i would use the word effervescent. nicole's been pretty great at capturing that in photos over the years. my own personal documentarian. at one point we were eating at pick me up. issa and nicole have the amazing ability to turn 30 year old me into 17 year old me. issa's favorite term for me back then was "nicole's sidekick". they always know how to push my buttons.
my tactic as of late is just to ignore, keep talking, glaze over whatever is said.
at one point nicole literally spits water out all over the table, her friend and issa, after one of his more funny/obnoxious/scathing comments. luckily, i wasn't in the line of fire.
if i hadn't grown up, literally, in this scene...
if i hadn't been the girl hanging out with all dudes...
if i hadn't been the target of a constant barrage of jokes, taunts and teases...
(cause i will almost always react and people love my reactions.)
my skin wouldn't be so thick.
i wouldn't be as confident and stubborn and sarcastic and sassy and outspoken as i am...
i wouldn't be me.
and i think i'm pretty fucking amazing.
for anyone who says that's a cocky or obnoxious statement to make...
if you don't love you, who else will?
