Passive Agressive

I have three main reactions to people that have wronged me (other than the typical "let it roll off your back" thing, which is the most popular reaction... It takes a bit to rile me up).

1. One is where someone says something mean and hurtful and I apologize. I then go in the bathroom or get in my car and cry to myself. (Secret: sometimes, if I've been crying a while, I look in the mirror and see what I look like as I'm crying. It's not pretty. Don't pretend like you haven't done that before. It's kind of comforting and entertaining all at once.)

2. Another is where I do the "angry sniff and sudden turn of the face," which basically means "F*%# you. You don't matter" or "Your opinion means nothing" or "I've officially written you off"--all horrible things that no one could interpret just from hearing a simple sniff. However, this angry sniff gesture runs in the family, unfortunately. Its power is not to be underestimated. The person who provokes this reaction will not get a confrontation. They have officially been "written off" of whatever good list on which they may have been written prior to their unforgiveable mistake--by the "sniff," I'd say it was most likely something that was completely uncalled for.

3. Lastly is a confrontation. This is the most rare of the three types. I have done this thrice in my life that I recall. Once to my sister, once to a friend, once to a coworker in Baton Rouge.

And that's it! Angry Chelsea in a nutshell. Just so you know, I performed the second reaction today to my boss. He got the first reaction last week. He's a peach.

Also, I would like to take this moment to tell you a few things that are in my purse. A day in the life. We, we so excited.

1. A water bottle full of water (to keep me hydrated).

2. Miniature bottles of hotel shampoo (because I like to steal small things that aren't really wrong to steal).

3. A wedding program (for inspiriration).

4. Lyrics to a song (to keep me dreamy).

5. Gloves.

6. Toothbrush (:)).

7. Lotion (because I never took it out).

8. Razor (I was in a rush getting ready for aforementioned wedding at a friend's house, I think? It originally had toilet paper around it; now it doesn't. Found that out this afternoon when I grated my hand).

9. External harddrive and cord (to keep me tech-savvy).
