Shoes That Fit

reflections of contradiction

i took cue from Dee's blog (see link on e left) and also decided to work on my list. skeletons in my closet are abt to be aired. here are my top 10 loves and hates, about myself, in no particular order.

Hate : i procrastinate all the time.
Love : i work well under pressure and sometimes even produce my best work.

Hate : i think socialising is a chore ... coz i'm shy (REALLY!).
Love : i think well on my feet and am street smart enough to read people and their personalities and to react accordingly.

(digress, while i'm on this topic, i recently came out of my shell and met with my hubs ex-colleagues (sans hubs) for drinks. i was a little nervous at first. i mean i know these people but not well. i pulled thru and had fun. the alcohol helped.

Hate : i am uncomfortable with touchy-feely people or rather people who do not respect my space (personal or otherwise)
Love : i have come a long way from this and am beginning to understand why other people need to touch, or pick food off my plate for that matter.

Hate : i have issues with authority. i have a need to undermine/ challenge authority.
Love : i embrace change and play by my rules. also i don't compromise unless i can benefit from it and i pick my battles well. which brings me to ....

Hate : i am selfish
Love : i give my best to the people who mean the most to me.

Hate : i am materialistic and need to shop all the time
Love : i use my own money to feed my pleasure and i always bargain shop. never shop at full price. i have no issues using post-season clothes.

Love : i listen well and have an innate need to fix other people. hence my pleasure in straightening out the under dog.
Hate : i commit myself too much in helping ... at the expense of myself

Hate : i have issues with trust and with opening myself up to other people
Love : i am an open book to the ones i love the most.

Hate : being fat and not doing anything about it
Love : i am comfortable with my body

Hate : i am lazy and i need a muse
Love : i dun give up easily and i love challenges. am actually turned-on by it. the more desolate the situation, the more i want to succeed

Hate : i am obsessive and like being in control
Love : i am obsessive and like being in control : )

Hate : I hate it that I have no money in the bank.
Love : I love it when I buy that pair of shoes that I don't need it but will know that I'll look good in it.

a) I spend too much money when I shop with you but I love the stuff I buy.
b) I'm a real fixer-upper... FIX ME! FIX ME!

P - shoes have a special place in my heart. there is no amt of guilt that can creep up my leg for that perfect pair of shoes. *wink*

D - if it were up to me, i'll tail gate you for a couple of days, to fix all the wrongs (not suggesting that you are messed up k). we'd prob have too much of a good time anyway and get distracted with the shopping : )

DG - i dun think i can EVER straighten you out. god knows i've tried! so you just continue on your gay merry way. :P

OK .. I know that I said that I'll give a more lengthy comment, but the moment seems to have passed. So I guess there ain't more to come.
