Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action

I have been complaining entirely too much. I complain incessantly. Forgetting that everyone has problems just as bad or worse than mine. Complaining just makes it seem as though I think less of other's problems. Which... I guess I do. I need to stop being so selfish with my sympathy. So, if you hear me complaining, do me a favor and say... "Steph, only complain if you have something to really complain about." Hahaha... still sounds really self-centered, huh? Anyway, it's my goal to complain less about all the work I have and actually do it. Cuz, funny thing, the less time I spend complaining and the more time I spend working results in more work getting done! Can you believe it? Hahaha...

Talking to Colleen today made me realize that some people just don't see me for who I am. Assumptions are bad, people! As many know, I get stopped and asked for directions and talked to by strangers a good deal of the time. This doesn't usually make me happy... but anyway... It seems as though people look at me and assume that I'm unassuming and approachable. For example... today I got asked for directions and talked to in the laundry room. Just because I look like a dork and harmless, doesn't precisely mean that I am. I can be cold hearted, cruel, self-centered, manipulative, and the like, as some of you know. I'm not always sincere when I smile and I'm not always joking when I say something and then laugh. I'm not always nice just to be nice, either. And while I don't always mean it when I say nice things, I usually do mean it when I say something mean. This isn't to say that I'm always a terrible person, but I can be. Just remember that next time you're asking for directions from someone who looks harmless and approachable.
