More Than a Couple of Warts.


As most do, I dislike it when people get or take the wrong impression of me.

It makes me feel uneasy. Like I am committing a crime. A fraudster.

I mean eek so just so you all know who I am, here‘s a small part of me…

Just because I do not take you up on discussions, yet let you speak a few words or sentences about your beliefs. Does not mean that I agree with them. I am not a JesusJockey nor am I an Atheist. I really don’t care which way you pray. Although if I were to swing more one way, it would be towards Atheism. I’m sorry but it is easier for me to believe that man came from ape. You only have to look at some of our more backward species…and NO I am not talking about Hillbillies, well, not specifically. Ha.

Over the years, I have learnt [for the most part] to pick my battles. You don’t work in the hospitality industry and not learn THAT bloody lesson. Usually my words are of a soothing… you’re behaving like a bloody idiot aren‘t ya…nature. I have that knack. A smarter sober person might take affront, at first, but then I’d use my engaging grin. Then they know I am just funning with them. Or am I? If all else failed I’d have Security paged. And yes some nights it DID feel good to have five or so strapping black-suited fellows come stampeding in my direction. But I digress.

I find Americans, at first, can be easily angered. Why is that? I guess you guys are so used to other countries people finding faults in you. Dunno? I as an Australian, love finding the faults in any nationality. Makes them human. If you know an Aussie, you’ll know this to be true. But what you also know to be true we laugh and laugh bloody hard at our OWN faults too.

Just because I’m staring intently at you when you are spouting off about a subject that you so unintelligently are talking about. Does not mean that I am basking in your knowingness. What I AM thinking is…yer a bloody idiot aren’t ya…But that’s your problem to fix. Knowledge is out there. Find it and please find it fast. Okay, THIS one WAS directed at a Hillbillie or two, or three dozen.

I swear. And some days I swear a bloody lot. Oh and bloody is not the swear word I’m talking about either.

I smoke.

I smoke pot. And I try to smoke it on a regular basis. Don’t judge me! Nah, I don’t really care if you judge me for that. I figure I am forty-five and paying my bills. No kids at home. Makes me happy. Not all pot-happy-hippie-happy. But happy enough to be nice to people. Maybe not nice enough to my husband, if he was telling this story. Because I smoke it, I am more tolerant of the [what I see as] stupidity [and they see as fact] that surrounds me, day in and day out.

Bloody Hillbillies drove me to the pot-pipe. HaHa.

I don’t smoke it all the time and I don’t smoke it anywhere else. If I’m in my own home, behind my own walls. It’s none of anyone’s business. Just like it is none of mine when they are strung up, with a ribboned ball in their mouth, waiting deliciously, waiting agonizingly, while the wife stands behind with a paddle in her hands. But I digress.

I am getting a tad waffly. It’s the smoke. I talk, in this case type, when I have a buzz going on.

I wish pot were legalized--if it were, I'd go out and buy some right now. Alcohol is much worse on the human body than pot, and think of how much the US government could collect in taxes on marijuana legal trade.
PS I have a friend from Australia--she's a superb person in every way.

This atheist could easily become a pot user if he had a source. Sounds like something I could believe in!

I am sure that all of us have or had vices much more horrible than a
wee puff of pot. I enjoy your posts.

So does that mean you *do* think I'm an idiot?

I'm sure that it is a wonderful country...I've never heard a bad word from any of those boys nor my SIL...I think they just sort of came to Canada with a pre-conceived notion that we would somehow look down on them. Not sure why...they just always seemed like they had something to prove. Which always made me wonder why they took a year plus to travel through my great country.

I don't distinctly remember if Nick was any good...I just remember basking in the silence...well, relative silence. At least he was talking about something else!

oh hell no...I'm beginning to adore yew sistah...

Wrong impression of you? Na. I know you well. You're a retiring wallflower who is intimidated by everyone around you. I know your only joy is having this blog where you can pretend to be the gregarious, hilarious, talented lady we all envy.
So glad I'm not the only one around here who thinks "bloody" is a perfectly acceptable blaspheme. Maybe it's because I too lean towards atheism.
Enjoy your smokes. I found out early in life the it doesn't agree with me. Guess I'll just have to stick with booze.

…The Margs in my life ALWAYS seem to see and accept me how I am...

I lived with 3 Australians for a while but none of them fit your description of an Aussie at all. They pretty much never shut up about how great their country was, etc. but maybe that was because they were homesick or something and feeling like fish out of water. I slept with one just to get him to shut up for half an hour. I've always wondered what became of the three of them...

My SIL lived in Australia for several years and loved it. She's in BC now, saving to go back.

I find Americans pretty uptight a lot of the time. Defensive. It scares me when it's not making me .

This was a fantastic post...but now I'm nervous that when you read me you're thinking I'm an idiot. Good thing I don't really care...

Ohhhh I just about busted a gut when I barked out a laugh then. Yeah. Well they WERE telling the truth about that. I limit my “back home” analogies…Limit them to I only talk about specifics when asked…Makes them jealous here. I mean something like 13 public holidays, sat and sun pay rate and the minimum hourly wage being close to fifteen bucks does bring out the green eyed monster. I know it makes me bloody jealous. Hee.

So. The one you slept with. Was he any good? Haarrha.

I bloody love hearing about people who have visited/lived in Aussie and want that experience again. Makes me proud in a completely wanky way…

...We will be uncaring together...

I am so glad you are blogging again. You are awesome. Smoke it if you got it!!!
comment by kristilyn3 on Nov 10, 2010 9:37 AM ()
*throws* your awesome sentiment right back atcha!!
reply by kjstone on Nov 10, 2010 11:36 AM ()
I know what you mean about picking the battles. Seems like we spend a lot of time on MyBloggers debating about the existence of God or a higher power when most of us really don't care all that much one way or the other. Seems like there are two ends of the spectrum, and I've found that yappity un-believers can be just as persistent and irritating about making their beliefs known as born-again-looking-forward-to-the-rapture types, of which I don't see a whole lot around here.

And I thought I don't bring up the subject more often.
