Well, it's finally come to this. Last night, I was rping on MSN with a pair of good friends of mine from TT: one had my arms up and the other was tickling the ever loving crap outta me.
And I gave up. I said "I give up." I've been avoiding saying this in front of one of them for a long while; I knew I'd get the "You...gave...UP?? Has hell...FROZEN OVER!?" response, and I've tried to keep up the image. I'm the tough girl who never gives up, I'm totally lerish without a lee bone in my body, right? Wrong. And I decided to finally share that fact with someone. I was afraid of what he'd say, but I went into it anyway.
So I went out on a limb and hoped I wouldn't. Not only did I get that, but he continued attacking me as well. Not what I was hoping for, but, unfortunately, pretty much what I was expecting. I went out on a limb and got burned. Maybe I was just looking for complete acceptance where I wasn't gonna find any. Hell, I've built up my own image so high I was bound to fall sooner or later.
But I'm tired of it, really. Tired of being afraid of the "You're....not invulnerable? You're feeling...LEEISH? Argh! It's a sign of the apocolypse!" reaction. I'm tired of pretending to be ashamed that yes, I do have a leeish bone, and depending on my mood, I have been known to annoy the hell out of a dragon just to get a good poke. Big deal. I'm also tired of people seeing that as a weakness on my part, as if it makes me less of a 'ler or a person. I sure don't, and I don't see it that way with my "lees".
I'm not sure exactly why I had to post all this, maybe I just had to get it off my chest, maybe I'm just going totaly aout of my mind, I dunno. But feedback welcome.
