I am Annoying!?......

Since moving back to my hometown, I have begun a routine of stopping in at the folks each morning for coffee. It has been going very well. I feel like I am Norm walking into Cheers every morning, Either Dad yells “ Look who’s here” or “Hey its 8kms” ( ~I live 8kms from their house~)Dad makes the coffee and mom pushes food on me….. Having lived away from them for over 20 years, lets just say Mom and Pops are discovering who I am. In the short time I have been back I have introduced them to You tube, facebook, and pretty much everything else that is bad on the internet (no porn, jeeze guys come on…)

I am an excitable individual. I enjoy laughing, dancing, singing oh and performing. I used to think that it was just because I am a happy person, well until I had hours of chatting with a male friend on the computer who educated me about me. He said I was a Sagittarius, which to me meant nothing. I searched on the internet and found the following;

Traits of a Sagittarius: My Thoughts of the Traits

Ok….so. Whatever! I am a person that enjoys having fun, and perhaps some of the “traits” were hard to read and ignore, but flirt? Come on, Self indulgence? Pffft! Parties? Oh ya sure….

I will admit that as far back as I can remember I have always been a bit of a ham, the center of attention. I am the person who does the dare, the video / camera hog… get the picture? As a child my folks should have put me in theater classes or in a retard rehabilitation centre. I just can’t not be on, there is a powerful energy that I can’t control, I have to, just have to, be having fun all the time. I have the inability to answer a question without being sarcastic, or giving some bullshit witty comment as a response. I love to sing and lip sync and go into character of the artist singing the song.

A lot of this I do even when I am alone. I once had a neighbour stand on the sidewalk looking into my front window while I performed a whole Janis Joplin song with my trusty swifter wet jet as a microphone, and received a round of applause. 
(I was not embarrassed by the way)

So as I am hanging out with my folks the more they see of the real me, I think they are afraid of me actually. Like perhaps I do drugs kind of looks from them…. For example on Tuesday I am having coffee with mom, dad heads outside to the garage to do his “retirement duties” aka “hiding in the garage” and I remembered a video I wanted to show mom so we head to the computer room.

Shortly after we laughed our asses off at the “off the wall” video I showed her, dad walks in and enquires as to what is so funny. Which lead to a wealth of videos that of course I thought were funny, but apparently to 70 years olds…not so much….. My father told me he felt sorry for my husband for having to put up with me for any length of time. He then proceeded to tell me I was Annoying!

Annoying!? Are you kidding me? What the fudge is this man thinking? Then I remembered that he has Alzheimer’s and must have thought I was my sister Debbie, now she is Annoying! (He does not have Alzheimer’s, just needed to deflect from the whole I am annoying thing)

I was mortified to think that someone could possibly find me annoying, then I thought about Les telling me “well you are a Sagittarius”…… self indulgence, Self centered, attention seeking Sagittarius. Oh boy! So it’s not my fault then. (Thanks Les for giving me an excuse!) Well I will admit this … I can make fun of people, tease them, but I can not handle anyone making fun of me, not one bit. Double standard, fine I know this, but too bad it’s how I operate. I did not like hearing my dad say this…….. 

I decided to punish my father for calling me annoying, so for one week I will not go there for morning coffee (haha we will see how he likes that I thought..) Then I thought oh shit, if he thinks I am annoying then he might like the break… So to punish him properly…. I will go every morning full gear, my blingy stage show attire, my loud music and annoy the shit out of him ~CHRISTINE~ style!

Annoying? Pffffft! My Ass.
