First Impressions

How do you decide what a person is really like?
Do you get to know them or go by your first impression and keep going by that?

I am one that usually gets to know a person before deciding what they are really all about.

Of course, there are always some people you just instinctively know what kind of person they really are.
They just have a personality that you just know.

Like the selfish person, or the guy that is just too damn charming.
Those personalities just come right out and say " this is who I really am".

But, other people are really hard to pinpoint.
You really have to know them to figure them out.

I've had people I have had to work with that just didn't like me.
I never said anything to them.
They just looked at me and decided I was unworthy.

I have also had people get the completely wrong impression of me and to this day it seems the same.

I have been with Honeyman for close to 16 years and some of his closest friends seem to think of me as some uptight, religious woman.

I find that just a bit odd.

I am about as far away from being religious as you can get.
I was raised Methodist and I know a lot about religion.
But, isn't knowledge power?
One time I happened to share my knowledge so all of a sudden I am religious.

Considering I never go to church and I am with Honeyman-who is agnostic, I find that really weird that they think that.

I am quiet, unless I know you.
I hate to drive so I don't. I know how. I just don't do it much.

Maybe that makes me a weirdo.
I don't know.

Up until recently, I stayed home when Honeyman went to parties with his friends.
Kiddo was too young and no babysitter.
When Kiddo was about a year, her paternal grandparents decided they weren't going to watch the grandchildren anymore.

So, whether I wanted to go out or not was irrelevant.

Not that any of this really matters.
Just puttin' it out there.
Cause it's been running around in my brain.
