Hi! My Name is Zara, and I'm Obnoxious!

So, the following is an older blog of mine, but for the sake of the newer readers that might not have seen it and are contemplating friendship with me, I thought I'd repost it. You can't say that I didn't warn ya.

1. When I'm upset, I tend to say so. I don't think about my phrasing, I don't sugarcoat things to avoid hurting feelings. It just comes out. If I was harsh/judgemental/hypocritical, I will usually fess up to it after the fact and attempt to do damage control. It doesn't always work, which I usually boo-hoo about afterwards (as I hate not getting my way) but at least I fucking admit when I'm wrong.

2. When I'm happy, I can be almost annoyingly so. I will bounce around, make stupid jokes (that often offend) and generally make people feel like they would like to strangle me. I am most definitely a live-in-the-moment type of person. Sometimes this happiness wears off on others, and I will make otherwise sad/angry/indifferent people feel *up*. These people then follow me around and expect me to be this way all the time. Word of warning: I'm not.

3. When I'm depressed, it can overwhelm me. I will think of nothing but myself and how I perceive whatever the situation was that got me this way. I am an angry crier. I scream at myself for crying. I hate myself for being weak. I frequently have suicidal thoughts. I am the quintessential drama queen. However, when I am over it, I expect all other parties involved to be over it too. In fact, I expect people to get over my moods whatever they might be. Shit happens. No need to fucking dwell. But of course, I am the one who decides when the dwelling should end. (Yes, I am that self-absorbed.)

4. When I am angry, I use my words as my weapon. I will hit on whatever I know will hurt you the most. I can be vindictive, vicious and cruel when I am in angry mode and you happen to be around. I, of course, expect you to just get over it in this instance as well. I am only unleashing my anger as a way of purging it from my being. My advice? Fight back. Running away will only make it worse. I respect and shut up for the people who have the balls to not deal with my shit. Ignore me and fear the consequences. I never know what I am capable of doing sometimes. (Mostly, however, I've got a big bark and little bite when it comes to physical retaliation. I seem to know the BIG limits.)

5. When I am bored, I like to start arguments. I will pick something I know bugs you and beat that dead fucking horse to a pulp. Aquarians are often accused of loving to "stir the pot". I'm not sure if this is true in my description as an ENFP, but I do so love to shake things up and think nothing of how it might affect you. (I did mention how fucking self-absorbed I was, right?)

6. I can also be the most loyal person you will ever know. I will put you through hell, but in the end, when you need me, I'm there in an instant. I know everything that you love and loathe (hence the being able to use it against you.... but in this instance, it's a positive thing), remember things when you forget, and can tell you the exact phrase to use on your boyfriend/girlfriend to get your ass out of hot water with them (ENFP... the emotional manipulator.... in this instance, used for good).

So..... think of my friendship like a fire. I can burn you, and if you can deal with the fact that burns heal, then you'll never have to worry about being cold again.
