lessWendy

Life is so nuts right now. Between doing extra work at my job, church, and normal everyday chores I think I am meeting myself coming and going. I am hoping it will slow down after this Saturday or at least  for awhile. I only have one more wedding and then a two month break. This wedding may get a little crazy too…

During this busy time I have been wanting to tell people who are used to me being relaxed and a little witty… “Look, I don’t have time to be witty”….”wit is not on my list of things to do today.” It’s gotten to the point where I have to schedule lazy time. “Sorry, Bob, I can’t meet you for lunch I’m booked with lazy at that same time.”

Not been reading the B-I-B-L-E as much either (insert excuse here). Don’t want to get into that habit. So I need to schedule it or I know myself well enough that I won’t do it and no one wants to see fake Christian Wendy again…I just shivered.

Someone said “Tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic”. I love sarcasm. I watch episodes of Seinfeld and wish I had an apartment in New York. I like “getting it”. I’ve been with people who are completely opposite of sarcastic. They tend to be very literal with what I’m saying to them. It gets awkward when I have to point out that I was being sarcastic. That’s not to say I wouldn’t hang out with this person or that we couldn’t end up being friends, however, I don’t think I could be close friends with someone who wasn’t sarcastic.

So why am I bringing this up? Well, I didn’t realize it till recently. I always knew I felt more comfortable with people who had a certain personality. Those who are quick to make fun of me and even more of themselves. Someone who can point out something obsessive that I do or say and make a joke out of it. What that says to me is that they realize a “flaw” that I have and they love me anyway.

I’m just putting it out there….so I’m ending with a line from Seinfeld taken from “The Chinese Restaurant” episode: “I can’t go to a bad movie by myself. What, am I gonna make sarcastic remarks to strangers?”….
