Respect is Forgotten.

Before I begin, I would like to say WOW! I didn’t think that many people would read this. What’s even more surprising is the people reading from other countries SO….

For the reader’s in Russia, Спасибо за чтение!

For the reader’s in Germany, Danke fürs Lesen!

For those of you in Bulgaria, Благодаря за четене!

For you in Taiwan,  

And you in the UK, Thank You!

You all in US, Thanks!

(for the record, I put this into Google Translate so if it’s wrong or looks wired… SORRY!)

You: “That was so considerate of you to do that!”

Me: “Oh why thank you! That’s actually the topic of today. Considerate People.”

(I’m not conceded, I just wanted to tie in my Thank You’s with my topic.)

So I’ve noticed lately that there are a TON of people that are not very considerate of others. I work at a Store as a cashier and the people there can be scary! Some people just want someone to yell at when they do something wrong. It’s my job and personality to just smile and try to make things right and I do think “Oh, They must be having a bad day. Sad!” but when I see the same people doing it over and over multiple days it gets me thinking why do they do that? The world doesn’t revolve around them!

Don’t get me wrong, not everyone’s like that! I get SO many people that talk to me and smile and I’ve had a ton of people say “Thanks for smiling and being so friendly.” This makes me so happy when people say that. I don’t just “Act” that way, that’s just the way I am and lately a lot of people have noticed it. I have people come to only my line now when they see me. This one couple waited behind three people with 5 cart loads of stuff in total just to go to me. That makes me feel good. I realized they come to me not only caus I smile and am fast, but also because I’m considerate and respectful. And this isn’t just me thinking this. People have told me.

Please give me a moment to smile on this fact… :D

Anyways, moving on.

I truly believe I’m this way because of my personality and the way I was raised.

I was raised really well even though sometimes I’m embarrassed to admit it. My mom was somewhat over protective but it did benefit me somewhat. I knew that if I did something utterly stupid and disrespectful that I would be in tremendous trouble. So I wasn’t stupid or disrespectful. So now I’m in college and have a lot of respect for people, their things and pretty much everything in general!

Sometimes I have to be mean when other people are being disrespectful. Like last night! Ok, STORYTIME!

So the last few nights I’ve gotten NO sleep at all because people would be super loud in my apartment. Ok, even when I sleep I don’t sleep well but I still need that bit of sleep. Thursday night it was quiet but I slept on the couch caus I just couldn’t sleep in my room because of something not “bad.” Friday night people were loud and up really late laughing. Saturday night there was people from Las Vegas visiting my roommate and they were staying in my apartment (I was just told they were).

You: “Why were you trying to sleep instead of being with them?”

Me: “Oh ya! Forgot that part. Ok, I have WORK all day the next day.”

So I’ve been working a full time job the last few weeks plus being a full time student plus trying to study for finals.

You: “Why didn’t you ask them to be quiet?”

Me: “I asked nicely many, many times. I even texted someone at four in the morning to remind them.”

So, back to the story. So yesterday, Sunday, I was super tired all day. I have no idea how I even functioned working all day, but I did. So When I got home I told everyone to please be quiet so I could go to bed because I had finals in the morning (My finals were the earliest caus I have a really early class, earlier than anyone else’s). I even got really mad and threatened to kick people out of my apartment if they were loud. They were loud. There’s a thing you should know about me, I do what I say I will do.

So they were really mad when I kicked them out but I did. I needed sleep!

So respect. They’re my friends and they of all people should respect me and my needs. They should at least try to understand my needs as well. For a lot of my friends that’s not the case. I shouldn’t have had to ever asked them again and again to be respectful and be a bit quieter. One friend even said “you’re other roommate’s found ways to deal. They put in headphones and such.” Ok, do you see what’s wrong with this?! They shouldn’t HAVE to deal! They live there! They pay rent to sleep there! You should respect them because you are in THEIR apartment! This made me super mad! Headphones will usually fall out of my ears if I sleep with them. Yes I’ve tried.

I was really mean about it but I was tired and so I was a bit cranky. Truthfully, again they kinda pushed me overboard. I still feel bad but it had to be done.

You:  “Was it worth it? Did you do well on your final.”

Me: “Yup! Aced it!”

Yes I know my grade already. Anyways, back to my angry blog (I feel bad my blog seems so angry and full of things that annoy me but this is how I express myself as of late).

It’s surprising how many people are so inconsiderate in college! I see people all around campus and wonder what this world is coming to! Why can’t people start thinking about other people other than themselves? I don’t understand how people only want to have fun and things go their way. Sure I’d like if some things did go my way but when they don’t I’m not upset. I was raised to have a lot of respect for others and think how my actions would affect others as well. Obviously some other people wasn’t. This saddens me.

So I’ve decided to take a new route in life. I’m going to still be considerate but if there’s something that needs to change so that I can actually function, it’s going to. Wither that be getting sleep or homework done, having alone time, whatever. It’s going to happen. If people don’t appreciate me or give me the respect I deserve than they don’t have to be in my life. As hard as this will be for me I’m willing to try for my own sanity (if there’s any left) and own good.  I wonder how this will turn out… Knowing me, Badly.

This is my only option right now. Last week I got so fed up with everything I was about to leave and not tell anyone. My Best Friend, Shower, talked me out of it. Shower agrees that people are being stupid. I’ve noticed the group I have been with lately is very… weird. If someone says something wrong or even looks at someone wrong it sparks a fight. Seriously people! Grow up! We’re all adults here and should act like ones! I know that I still have some growing up to do but I’ve been acting more like an adult then a lot of people I’ve noticed.

So I’m sitting here with my new pillow pet watching Tangled and eating Mac & Cheese about to get ready for work. Thanks for Reading y’all! Have a most WONDERFUL Evening… or Day whenever you read this! :) See ya!

This is just... ME!

The way a person thinks is what makes said person who they are. Those thoughts are what make a person act the way they do. Not everyone thinks the same way and sometimes a person will come across another person who has a new way of thinking that they haven’t come across before. When this happens the first person has two options; to either try and understand the other person or think the way they think is the only right way to think. It’s up to them and either option can cause problems.
I’ve been told I have a very… weird way of thinking.
You: “You’re telling me! I read your post about Classifying! See It’s right here!  à  Click!
That was kinda wired...”
Me: “Yes. And it gets even deeper and possibly more buzzard.”
You: “How so?”
Me: “Humm… Well I shall tell you!”
I am now going to explain a bit about how I think and view the world!
So how to start. I guess I shall start by saying the one thing that comes up the most.
The word “Should.”
I say this word a lot and have tried not but it just happens. When I say “hey, we Should do bleh…” or “You Should bleh…” It’s me making a suggestion. I couldn’t care less if the thing happens or not and it’s just an option. This has gotten me in trouble a lot and I’ve been trying so hard not to say it but I have all my life and it’s something that just can’t change overnight. Sorry if this bugs you, this is just me. I will try working on it. If I say “Should” and you say “nah, I don’t think so” I’ll be ok and just say “Ok, what other options are there?” or something like that. I should move on.
You: “Ah… let’s not.”
Me: “Ok. I can write about something else.”
You: “NO! I was joking! I want to hear more! DUH! This is why I’m reading this!”
Me: “You sure?”
You: “Absolutely! I was only kidding!”
Me: *chuckle* “Ok. I shall move continue.”
Anyways. So next piece of business. I’m going to share a bit about how I view the world and people. I truly think people are pure hearted and have pure intentions. I believe people want to make other people happy and  avoid any sort of conflict. Ok, I know and understand that’s not the way the world works. But no matter how much I understand that and know that’s not how the people really think, I just can’t stop what I believe. I believe there is good in every living thing. Ok, not every living thing. I think there is a few really bad people in the world who are truly evil. I think they corrupt others and that’s why other’s do really bad things. I think the reason they do that is because they believe in what they were doing! I think people don’t mean to hurt others. They just do things because maybe they’re having a bad day, week, year, etc. Maybe it’s how they think. It’s probably just how they act and don’t mean to offend other’s or hurt them. I’m hard to offend because I always think that person didn’t mean to be rude.
You: “Ah… how has this worked out for you???”
Me: “Sadly… horribly.”
Yes this hasn’t worked out for me well and usually it ends up with people manipulating me, taking advantage etc. I’m used to it. It sucks but I can’t think any other way. I think it’s because I try to make everyone happy and hate to hurt others and make them unhappy because of my actions/doings. I don’t mean to do anything wrong/bad and when I did and it really was my fault I’ll do anything to make it better. I like peace. I do things to make people happy and that’s my purpose in life. I don’t care, it’s just challenges I have to work through.
The only time people can really hurt me or make me mad is when they do something that upsets me that was intentional. This has happened about 3 times. Usually when people upset me I figure they didn’t mean to and even though it may annoy me or hurt me I forgive them. Sometimes I feel the need to talk to said person and work things out and it usually turns out well, if they listen and see my side. I do my best to understand other people and accept their side of things even if I don’t understand it. Problems arise when they won’t give me the chance to give my side or even try and accept my side or try to understand it. I feel like I go 80% in friendships sometimes because I don’t think people really try to see my side of things.
I make mistakes. I do. Everyone does. When other people make mistakes I understand but it sometimes feels when I make mistakes that people take it harder than they should. I am an OCD, Organization Freak with a little perfectionism; a LITTLE. That is directed toward actions in school. I’m not perfect and I know I’m not. I do try be the perfect me and do the best I can. But it seems because I hold myself to a high standard that everyone else expect me to be perfect and when I fail at something some people look down on me. This isn’t just in my head. People have told me that when I fail or make a mistake it makes them think different of me. I have messed up a few times and tried to fix it. I was told “you’re the perfect one and you made the mistake. You’re not perfect anymore. You can’t fix it and I don’t see you the same anymore. We can’t be friends anymore.” That’s just what one person said. I’ve heard it all. I know six people who have defriended me because of a mistake the “Perfect One” made.
I think rationally about everything. I try to make sense of everything that happens to me and other people. I understand this isn’t a really… Good thing to do but again, this is how my mind works. I try to rationalize everything I do too. I feel like my mind is a textbook. I love reading and learning. I love figuring things out and observing. This is what I do. Again, you read the Classifying People post (which people have to keep in mind that’s just a brief overview and there’s a LOT more to people than what I described) you probably understand the textbook part of this!
I also believe I may have higher morals/values than some people. It bugs me SO much when I’m at a Concert, a Movie, a Performance etc. and people are being so disrespectful. I go to things because I WANT to, not because I have to. If I didn’t want to go to something I wouldn’t. I don’t go to play games on my ZUNE, or listen to music on my ZUNE, or text, or sleep, or talk to people, or put my feet over chairs, or mess with friends or just be rude. I go to watch, listen, observe, support, and enjoy. When I’m performing I want people to watch me, support me and appreciate my hard work that I did so people could enjoy what I’m doing. I’ve been on stage MANY times wither it be a Band performance, a play, a dance competition etc. and I HATE it when I look out to the audience and people are being disrespectful. Why are you there?! Did someone make you go? Are you there to support someone on stage? Do you like what you are going to? There’s many reasons why a person goes to things. I don’t think it’s anything from the list of disrespectful things. If it was then leave. I’d rather someone walk out and leave during my performance instead of staying and acting bored and not caring about what’s happening on stage. Because of this I actually watch what’s going on on stage. I sit up straight legs crossed, listen, watch, enjoy and smile. I’m there to enjoy, not sleep. I don’t like hearing a conversation that’s not in the movie or performance. Watching a movie at home is different but if I pay $8.50 for something or any kind of money for something I want to get everything out of it I can.
Ok, so another kind of moral/value I have has to do with people in a relationship. If I’m in a group of friends I want to be with all of them. I don’t appreciate watching someone make out and only pay attention to each other. If you want to do that or be alone, you can leave! I would love if you stayed and hung out but I DON’T want to try and talk to you or include you and you ignore it and then come to me asking why I didn’t talk to you that much that day caus I did, you just didn’t want it then. You can’t have me and them at the same time unless you allow it.
You: “Didn’t you have a post about this?”
Me: “Yup. Twas my first one. Want to read it again? Here it is!” à  :P
Again. This is my opinion. If I offend anyone I’m sorry. This is me. IDK how you see it and you should explain it to me caus I’d Love to know! :D
There is a lot of other things I could say about how my mind works or what I think but I don’t want the world knowing everything. ;D Thanks for reading and hopefully you all understand that you need to get out of your own state of mind and get to know others and see their side as well. If everyone tried a little harder to understand others I really do think a big picture will form and possibly people can become wiser and maybe people’s lives will be less conflicted. I live to try and understand other people. Maybe that’s my textbook mind or whatever, but I’m not going to change any time soon.

The Hard Times With Friends.

Throughout my life, I have witnessed a lot and with this, I’ve learned that people come and go. Some people are less mature than you are and can’t see the wisdom and experience you have so you have to suggest things then watch them crash and burn and learn the way you have. Some people are more mature and have more wisdom than you and you can take their advice and see their point but you still have to crash and burn to gain their knowledge. I’ve lived through pain and have learned a lot about people and friendships. I’m still not a master and still screw up all the time. I’ve noticed I have two weak points in life, Spelling and Friends. At least there’s spell check for my one weak point. Friends is harder to deal with. Ever person is different. Some people are able to have so many friends and be happy. I’m so jealous of them. They just have a knack for people. I don’t. So Story time!
You: YAY! I love stories!
Me: It’s Kinda depressing. Hold on tight and be prepared.
Before I begin. This isn’t a feel bad for me post. It’s a learning and understanding post and something to type up caus I think I just need to see things on paper, or in this case on screen.
So I was bullied a lot as a child. I started getting a few friends in Jr. High but they ended up being people who just used me and then would bully me more caus they knew more about me so they could hurt me more. High School seemed the same for the first two years. I finally got a really good friend right before Jr. Year. We did everything together and I thought we were great together. In January she was going through a hard time and she ended up changing schools. I knew while we were friends I was kinda like her… Bitch is a good word. I did everything for her but I enjoyed it. She was my Best Friend (besides my main best friend who I’ll talk about later). When she left she knew just the right words to hurt me and she said them. I found myself alone once again but with the pain she left me. I don’t blame her. I know she was hurt and she probably just lashed out but it doesn’t make the pain any less. I learned a lot from her but I’m also sad she’s not a part of my life anymore but painful memories.
After the first girl was gone another girl was there who swooped in a few weeks later and sorta “rescued” me from my pain. We were great friends. I kinda had to change for this friend but I did it because I’m kinda dumb and do what people tell me to (not so much anymore). I ended up being a mini her. I realized it and stopped and she got upset. She tried turning all my friends against me and it worked for a few days. It ended up backfiring on her and she lost many friends. I feel so bad about it but I wasn’t about to let myself lose everything I had. I still lost an amazing friend and another in the process. She hurt me and I am sad we can’t be friends and I still have pain from it. I learned a lot from the loss of this friendship.
I was torn up for weeks from these two instances. I still kinda am but I’ve forgiven, moved on and learned.
You: So who’s you’re best friend who you said you’d mention.
Me: Oh yes!
So my best friend EVA… let’s call him (yes him)…………Shower (Don’t ask…).
So Shower's and mine’s friendship is a very strange one. After 3 years of stubbornness on my part to be friends we became super close and the best of friends. The wired thing is me and shower are total opposites! He will make me mad a lot and he just doesn’t care. I love him anyways. We say we’re twins, which is kinda weird caus if you’ve seen us we SO don’t look ANYTHING alike. He’s my brother, my best friend forever. We get along because we put up with each other and can see each other's point and are both at the same maturity level. Ok, I'll admit when we're together we don't ACT mature but we are. I hate acting mature but I am. Actually, I'm more mature than a lot of the people I associate with. But this is what helps our friendship. We both know how to be childish and have fun but we know what's appropriate. 
I made other really good friends too like….. let’s call them Cholle, Fishy and Chicken…. I miss them! I miss them so much! They are the ones who I can always rely on and trust. They're all back in my home town and I'm four hours away. It is so hard to be away from the people who you love and can trust. Lately I feel like my life is like this song. Not exactly but close. Mainly the chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmoDEdDByZk&feature=artist
Anywho, so now I’m in college with new friends and everything’s turning to hell. So moral of this story/blog is I suck at friendships. I love my friends and want to keep them but I’m starting to realize I have to let some people go. Growing up is hard and I need to remember not everyone knows what I know and there’s others who know more. Everyone needs to accept this I think. I just need to “Hold on, there’s better day’s around the bend.”
This is the song that I’ve been listening to lately along with We are One from Lion King 2 and others.
So the point of this is I've decided to look at what I'm doing in life now and with friends, reevaluate and work on what i want to be and who I want to become. Sadly this is going to be a big change for me (and if you've read previous posts, change is hard especially when it involves friends) and it's going to take time to switch and probably going to drive me more crazy than I currently am. Yay! 
Have a most wonderful night... or day, whenever you read this. Chou!

Link, Lion King, Mountain Dew and Fuzzy Socks

Ok, so I told everyone my next blog was going to be about Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC. Well it’s not. This may seem stupid but I’m going to blog about the things I love and that make me, well, ME! I’m not going to name all of it and I’m only going to off shoot on a few things. If you don’t read all of it I won’t be offended. Heck! IDK if that many people even read this in the first place unless it’s my friends and I tell them OR I read it to them (Yes I do that). Plus I put pictures in this time! So without further ado…

Some things I LOVE!
(In no particular order)

  • My Friends and Family- People are worth more to me than anything else. I could lose everything but as long as I have people I’m still happy. When I lose a friend I get so depressed and can’t stand it.
  • My Charm Necklace- It takes a lot for a person’s charm to be placed by my heart and some charms are even taken off. I’m happy to say I now have 3 charms representing 3ish people/groups.
  • Ruffles Chips
  • Cheez-it’s
  • Music- I’m a Musicholic! I love music, all genres. I have so much on my computer and it’s still not enough.
  • Movies- Many different kinds.
  • Books
  • Singing- I’ve been told I can’t sing well and kinda believe it, but that never stops me. Singing makes me happy wither I’m just bursting out in song alone or in front of friends.
  • Dancing- I can dance wellish. I rarely show people me dancing but I love it none the less. I usually will dance alone in my room blasting music. I probably just look idiotic when I dance but oh well.
  • Pajama Pants
  • Cookie Monster

  • Tank Tops
  • Long Sleeve Shirts
  • Jackets
  • Art
  • Monkeys
  • Penguins

  • Koala Bears

  • Acting
  • Zelda Games- I have the new one and it’s pretty good, except Link’s right handed which is WRONG!

  • Bon Jovi- My Favorite artist. My Favorite song of ALL time is Livin’ on a Prayer.
  • Writing Music- I write lyrics for songs but they usually are horrible and just sit in notebooks in boxes at my parents’ house. Some are a little better than others but they’re not sharing worthy. I sometimes have tunes in my head when I write them but I never do anything with them. I still love writing them.
  • Pirates!- I’m a Pirate fanatic! I love the history. Just a wired perk that I have and I don’t go around all the time sharing my knowledge but when I get to I love it. (Black Bart Roberts AKA black Beard Sketch Below)

  • Coloring- Yes. I love to color. I have 3 big coloring page books in my apartment right now with a 96 set of crayons and a 120 set both with sharpeners. Childish? I don’t think so. Those kids couldn’t handle that many crayons!
  • Lion King

  • Playing the Piano- I was really good when I was younger then I stopped playing for a while. I never learned how to read music so now I'm teaching myself. I'm getting better and I can't wait to play like I did. I also play the Clarinet. I always wanted to go onto Sax after but I kinda stopped playing because I hated my band teacher and never did band again. I'm trying to teach myself how to play the guitar now but it's hard. :P 
  • Quest for Camelot
  • Harry Potter
  • Star Wars

  • Transformers- Ok, not the new movies. The movies are a ok take on the awesome cartoons but they are nowhere close to as good as my favorite childhood show! My favorite is Iornhide. I have an OLD Iornhide transformer figuring that really transforms!  
  • Iornhide

  • Taking Pictures- I want to Minor in Photography
  • Mulan
  • Hercules- Yes I like the Disney Movie. It’s a good story even though it’s SO inaccurate.

  • Backstreet Boys
  • Fall
  • My Car
  • My Pet Fish Mary Elizabeth- Who is now living at my Best Friends’ house since It’s a 4 hour car dive away and I don’t think she’d live through the drive.
  • My Computer
  • My Zune
  • My College
  • Mountain Dew

  • Fun Adventures
  • Surprising My Friends- I love doing Ninja stuff for my friends and making them smile.

Classifying People

Classifying People
I’ve noticed that there are about 4 different type of people in the world:

The people who give without wanting anything in return. They’re the ones who end up doing so much for others because they enjoy it and want other people to be happy. It seems that their purpose in life is making others happy. They want everyone around them happy and then they can be happy as well. They are used quite a bit and end up somewhat depressed sometime in their life. Let’s call these people Lovers.

The people who take advantage of the lovers. They use them for all their worth. These people are manipulative and greedy. They only care about themselves and think the world revolves around them. They are controlling and need to have everything that happens to them under their control. They are also judgmental and look down on others. For the sake of this Blog we shall call them Narcissists.

The people who are just “normal.” These people will use the lovers when needed and just take what they give. These people will do things for others and may say it’s out of the goodness of their heart and don’t want anything in return but in reality they want something weather it is appreciation or good luck or anything else you can think of. These people will also manipulate others but not as much as a narcissist would. These people end up going with the flow but also like to know what’s going on in their lives so they can control it to an extent. They do what is needed of them and usually nothing more. They care about others but also care about themselves more and end up being judgmental but not to the extent of the Narcissist. They are good people but have hidden darkness in their lives and their mind. Let’s call these people Fred.

The people who really truly don’t care at all. These people usually just go with the flow. They don’t care what happens to them and what they end up doing. They want people to make decisions for them because they can’t think for themselves. These people will sometimes bounce back and forth between the other 3 but will usually stay a Robot.

Did you feel like you just read a Psychology theory? Sorry. I’m a psych major and this is the way I think. Isn’t that what I said this blog is kinda about? My view on the world? If you get offended sorry. This is just me. Everyone sees the world different.
Anyways, back to my psychological theory of people. I believe people can fluctuate throughout the different classifications but have a main one they usually fall under. I’ve noticed most people fall under the Fred category.
You: “Why did you call it “Fred?” I understand the others but why that one?”
Me: “Very good question! I called it Fred because usually when people think of naming some random object they want to call it Bob or Fred. This is just a weird thing that people do. I did it because It’s used in society a lot and it seems to be the norm which Fred is the norm of classifications.”
Confused? Ok. Let me explain in a better way. When people say “What should I name this?” usually people think of the names Bob or Fred. I have no idea why but they do. The Fred classification is actually the classification most of the population (mainly the population/societies that I have been around to observe) fall under. Most people will fall under this classification and act the way described.
Again this is only what I think and what I have observed. This is how I see the world. None of this is actual concrete, psychologically proven fact. You may think I’m messed up and weird but oh well.
Anyways. Let’s go a little more in depth and I can give examples for each classification.

Lovers:
The names seems to speak for itself. These are the people who help others at any cost. These people seem to be very rare. These aren’t the people at Christmas giving away money or toys. Ok, they probably do but just because you see someone do that doesn’t mean they’re a lover. Around Christmas or in a time of crises the Fred’s will step up and be charitable but being a lover goes deeper then charity. Lovers are the ones who will do anything for a friend. They like to show people how much they care about them and will never think twice about it. They don’t want anything in return. These people will usually end up being used by others because the other classifications see the lovers as weak as if trying to buy friendship and love. That’s not the case. When a lover feels used it defeats the purpose of their kindness and love and the lover usually feels like they’ve lost everything. This isn’t hypocritical of them. These lovers feed off other people and friends. When their deeds are taken advantage of their purpose is corrupted and they end up having no more purpose and become depressed. On rare occasions the lover will never have to be used but more then not they will end up sad and depressed.

 Narcissists:
I hope everyone here knows what a narcissist is. If not I’m going to be SO kind and define it from Dictionary.com:  nar·cis·sist [nahr-suh-si st] noun. 1. A person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish. 2. Psychoanalysis- a person who suffers from narcissism, deriving erotic gratification from admiration of his or her own physical or mental attributes. There you have it! Hope you now see the connection in the classification and the name. These people are the ones that everyone usually hates (sadly) and have somewhat of a lonely life. These people only care about themselves and think everyone should adore them and they should be treated like gods. Now these aren’t the people who mess around and act this way. There’s a huge difference between messing around and actually falling under the narcissist category.
You: "How can you tell if they're joking or not? I don't think there's really a difference."
Me: "No there's a difference. I know people who fall under the narcissist classification and people who just mess around in that way. I can tell because the people who mess around have more traits of another classification and don't expect everyone just to love them."
Ya. that's right. The narcissist classification is a touchy one and it's hard to place people in. If people fall under this classification you'll know. They are hands down an example of the definition given.

Fred's:
These are most of the population (that I've witnessed). These people use others (unintentionally) to make their life good. The roll is also reversed. They are used by others as well for the same reason. The Fred's seem to function as a corrupt, well oiled machine. These people are just the norm of society. They take and give that it balances out. The Fred's will sometimes have a few other traits of a Lover of a Narcissist but will mainly stay in their own classification. They will sometimes seem like they have traits of a Robot, but that may just be because they're lazy which is not what a Robot is.
Robots:
These people aren't the couch potatoes that generally people think of. These people do get out and do things but it takes a lot of effort on others. These people seem to not care about most things and just let life happen around them. they will usually do the bare minimum for life to happen. These people will usually fluctuate between all four classifications on occasions but will still not care about what happens and will do only what is necessary for happiness. They will mainly stick with the Robot traits. 

So you're probably wondering where I fall. Well I'm not going to tell you! HA! I think I have an idea where I am but I'm not 100% sure. I can't observe my own behavior so maybe one day I'll ask someone to tell me. As you've probably noticed there's perks to each classification as well as downfalls. What can I say?! We're all humans and we all suck. I will admit that I've used this classification in my own life. I've classified my friends. Yes I do. What can I say? I'm a Psych Major! I observe my friends behavior to understand them more and their personality style. I'll even say things sometimes or set up situations just to see how they react. i think a lot of people do this but I'm just aware of it and open about it (I tend to be very blunt). We all want to know who is like us and who is different and how to behave around people and how to handle them. I'm glad that my friends classifications are nothing to worry about. I now just know how they function (and no I will not tell you where you fall). 
Again, this is NOT a tested theory. This is my mind working and how I see the world and people. Now try and guess your classification and your friends. ;D

The Lion King

When I was little, my favorite movie was probably The Lion King. I watched that movie at least once or twice a day. My older siblings to this day can recite the movie by heart and my older sister still won’t watch the movie. I ruined it for them, Oops. Oh well. I still love the movie. It one of the best Disney movies plus the sequel is a good sequel, not one of those crappy sequels where they really shouldn’t have bothered to do it.
Lion King makes me happen even when I’m depressed. 

See? Me Happy!
You: "Why do we care if you're happy?"
Me: "Caus you should! I make all the good things happen in people's life!"
Anywho...
Me and my friends make up dances to different song sometimes just for fun. We decided to have a competition with some other friends who liked to dance with Disney songs. My group chose Lion King (I SO didn’t influence the decision. ;D ). I still remember all the steps to the songs. For “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” I was young samba. My hair was in high pigtails and I got to run around the stage like a little kid. I had so much fun with it! My Favorite part in the routine was when my friend who played Zazu pretended to cut off my pigtail when he sang “I’ve never seen a King or beast with quite so little hair” because, if you know me, I have super long hair (do you see the ironicness of it?).
I love how the story of The Lion King is based off of Hamlet. Did you realize that most Disney movies are based on other stories? Most of the princess movies come from the Grim Brothers Fairy Tales? Hercules, (spelled Heracles in the real Greek myth) of course, based off of the Greek God.
Speaking of Greek Mythology, I saw Immortals last Friday. It was good but 300 is MUCH better. There was a ton of blood, which is usually a good thing, but there was this scene with this tongue and *shutter*, that was just disturbing. Was good and I was satisfied.
Back to The Lion King. Me and my friends got bored Sunday night (last night) and decided to watch it (it’s been a SUPER slow past few weeks for us. :P ). I was talking along with the characters WHOLE movie, singing every song and even dancing some of my dances. I must say, next to Quest for Camelot and a few others, The Lion King has to be one of my Favorite movies!

Rebuttal


So my friend put up a blog post telling the world his top 10 reasons why being a man is better than being a woman. I feel like I should rebuttal his post with my own. So here you are. “The Rebuttal” to “10 Reasons I’m Glad I’m Not A Woman.” 

#10- Man Movies are Better
Response- Everyone loves a sappy love story
I’ll admit. I’m not that into chick flicks. I love a bloody battle and a scene where everything is blown up.  My favorite movies are considered guy movies! Iornman, X-Men, 300, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Green Lantern, Star Wars, Zombieland, Clash of the Titans, Sherlock Holmes, Gladiator, Casino Royale, Ect. But a good chick flick is also nice! The Proposal for example, AMAZING! I loved it! Plus it has Ryan Reynolds which just makes me happy. Mmmm, Ryan Reynolds! And what about Leap Year! That was super good too! Mean Girls, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Made of Honor, 27 Dresses, Just Go With It, Hitch, No Strings Attached, Friends With Benefits, Etc. Yes. Chick flicks and I’ve seen them all. PLUS I know A LOT of guys who have seen most of these and loved them. No they were not gay. They probably are some of the most Manly Men I know and they’ve seen at least two or three of these. What do you say to that? Movies are just amazing. Everyone has different tastes. But I’d still like to watch suspenseful movies. I guess he has a good point with #10.

#9- I Don’t Have to Date Men                                                                  
Response- But Guys are HOT!
Ok. I’ll admit. Guys do suck sometimes. My best friends are guys and I mostly hang with guys instead of girls and sometimes they can be very, douchebaggy. Ok, a lot of the time I’ll admit. BUT, at least I don’t have to date a girl! Girls are SO high maintenance, I’ll admit it, and they’re catty and bitchy (excuse my language). I love telling people how amazing they are but some girls (me not included) need to be told they’re amazing, and special, and a princess, 24/7! It has to be tiring! I will admit. I am always worried about my butt being looked at while I walk down a hall. I was told just a few months ago I have a nice one and went all through high school with guys checking it out all the time as I walked and now I’m a bit paranoid! Plus when a guy is looking at my chest I want to smack them! They’re just stupid lumps of fat on my chest! Why do you like them so much?!  I HATE them! I have a whole rant about this but I’m not putting it up on this. Only a few people have heard this and I guess it’s hilarious! But 1, it needs to be told in person and 2, only certain GIRLS get to hear it. Sorry! Oh, and I do have a butt rant too. ;) Guys are less maintenance (sometimes) and much more easy going. I’m SO happy I don’t have to date a catty chick!

#8- I Can Pee Standing Up
Response- Why Did You Go There?!
I wouldn’t want to pee standing up! Plus I think it would suck! If a guy goes into the bathroom and goes into a stall all the other guys know what they’re doing; taking a dump. I don’t want everyone knowing if I’m going #1 or #2! I mean SERIOUSLY! Also, going around with a stick between your legs would get SO annoying! I don’t even want to think about it! Ok.. NEXT! I’m SO getting off this!

#7- Shoes
Response- AH! Shoes!
I hate having so many pairs of shoes plus having to match your shoes to your dress. I HATE high heels. High heels were made by men so while a chick walks her butt does some sort of nice motion guys like (I actually found this out by listening into my guy friends conversations). COME ON! I hate how society now wants me to wear heels when I dress up. I need to wear a dress today for a presentation later on. I have to wear dress shoes too, AKA heels. THEY HURT! I have walked all across campus today and my presentation’s still not for another 45 minutes! I agree with this one! I blame men for this torture! Did you know that men were the first to wear heels and make up.
You: “NO! you’re lying.”
Me:” NO I’M NOT! Now pay attention! “
Yes it’s true. I’ve done my research. I swear the only reason we do it now is caus long ago guys got tired of it and said “my wife’s being a bitch to me today. I’m going to make her wear these uncomfortable shoes and paint her face so I don’t have to see the ugliness of it!” Ok ok, maybe it wasn’t like that but IDK how else I got stuck doing this! 

#6- I don’t Have to Wear A Shirt
Response- Neither do I!
Ya I can’t really walk around with nothing on up there but hey! It’s a free world in my room. Ok, I’ve never had the urge just to go around topless. I LOVE tank tops and wear them ALL the time. NO it’s not caus I’m a slut, it’s just caus I feel comfortable in them. I hate bra’s I’ll admit and wish I didn’t have to wear them. But alas I do. Stupid society telling me I have to be uncomfortable all day with a wire poking into my side! GRR! When I get home I’m getting out of this dress and putting on a tank top! HA! 

#5- One Man Bathroom Trips
Response- Oh What You Don’t Know What We Do When We Go Together
Did you ever think the reason we go together is to talk about something YOU’RE not supposed to hear? Maybe we’re helping each other fix something like a dress. We possibly may be fixing our hair and makeup. And MAYBE we just need to all get a break from you or save our friend from someone. There are many possibilities. I am a big girl and go to the bathroom by myself… when I’m actually going that is. ;) If I ever go with someone else there’s a different reason. 

#4- Men Don’t have to Shave
Response- I Do It Caus I Want To
I HATE stubble on my legs. It bugs me and it itches! Plus I love when my legs are smooth. I know girls who don’t shave unless they’re showing their legs. True and it’s smart. I just do it all the time caus I hate the itchiness and love the smoothness. Enough said.

#3- No Boobs
Response- Good point
Like I said. I have a boob rant. NO I’m not putting it up
You: “AH! Come on! I want to hear it! I’ve heard it’s Hilarious!”
Me:  “I SAID NO! And only certain people get to hear it!”
Just know I hate them and they’re a bother. He has a good point on this one.


#2- No PMS
Response- Are You Mentally Ready For This?
ONLY SOME GIRLS ARE LIKE WEARWOLVES DURING THEIR PERIOD!!! I’m not! :D YAY! I’ve been told I’m totally normal. Maybe this is because I’m crazy and weird all the time and I crave random things every single day (guys do too. Yes I know this). Sweet. No one knows when I’m on! I love that. Yes some girls are monsters (Oh man, I know this one girl and during hers… *shutter*) and it sucks. Luckily I’m not one of them! People, Guys, have tried to guess mine and they’ve been WRONG! Hahaha! Guys PMS daily! It’s been proven! We just don’t notice it that much because we’re used to their random outbursts and weird moods. Now back off the PMS thing! I mean really!

#1- I Can’t Give Birth
Response- Lucky Bastards!
I’ll admit. I’m not looking forward to it. I do want kids, don’t get me wrong but I’m so not looking forward to the pain and the other crap. But being pregnant may have its up’s! I will have somewhere to put my soda when I’m lying on the couch. I do get to eat ice cream non-stop without people criticizing me. I…. Ok, I can’t think of anything else…
So all in all, I use to always wish I was a guy. I used to hate the color pink (still do a bit but doesn’t bother me as much anymore), used to steal my brothers toys caus they were cooler than mine, etc. I always thought I should’ve been born a guy. I’m kinda starting to like being a girl. I never knew how nice it was for a guy to open the door for you when you get into the car! My friends do it a lot and it does make me happy even though I act like it bugs me (oh shoot… hope they don’t read this and find out my secret). I do like girls nights (oh the stuff we talk about) and more. But all in all… He was right. Guys have it WAY better than girls. There I said it. Now you can come and beat me up if you feel like it. I’m jealous of guys but I’m ok being a girl. Wait, a Woman. Yes, sounds more powerful! Have a fantastic day! :D

I’d suggest reading his as well. Just so you can get both points of view.
