On being sloppy
I am sloppy. Nothing I do is ever neat, no matter how much I try. I can't fold clothes neatly. I have trouble eating certain foods. I can't do any sport requiring coordination. My handwriting is atrocious. It's so frusturating. The handwriting especially is annoying. I'm the only one who can read it, it's humilating if someone else needs to try. One time in English class last year we had to write a few paragraphs about somthing, and then do peer review with someone else in the class. I said to my partner "Can I just read what I wrote aloud, instead of you trying to read it? My handwriting is really horrible and I don't want you to have to try to read it. She said that was sweet. But it really isn't. Not wanting to have to watch someone have difficulty because of one of your more signifigant flaws is a desire born from pride, not sweetness. I didn't explain that to her though. I wonder if I should have.
