 Glamour Test – Question 2

 “Have you made an honest list of your best points?”

 This is actually harder than Question One. Why is it more difficult for a woman to discuss her good points than it is to discuss her flaws?

 The other day I was talking to my friend Kandi and I said something along the lines of “I just wish I could be somebody else. That sounds pretty good right now.”

 She looked at me for a minute and said “No you don’t. You’d just have different problems and you wouldn’t have that face or that hair.”

 “Are you saying I’d still have problems but I might be ugly?”

 “Yes. At least now you’re beautiful.”

 So there’s that. Thank you Kandi.

 What else... If I tell someone I’m going to do something I really do it. I’m happy to pick someone up at the airport, even if it means driving around and around in circles. I always take injured birds to the animal hospital, and once for three months, I left food out for some cats that I thought were homeless and then found out that they weren’t…they ate it anyway.  

 I’m good at looking at a situation from another person’s point of view.  This is good because it helps me to be more compassionate. It’s also bad, because if I misspeak or hurt someone’s feelings, I feel absolutely awful. I literally feel their pain. I can’t stand bullies for this reason and if I even get a whiff of animal cruelty I come undone. (I will never, ever forgive you Michael Vick…you asshole.)

 I’m punctual. I make a really great avocado bruschetta. I haven’t gotten a ticket in six years, so I guess that makes me a good driver. I’m a decent baker. I always remember people’s stories (but sometimes forget their names). I’m an excellent present wrapper. I’m adaptable, so I’m equally comfortable at a sketchy dive bar or at high tea at the Ritz Carlton. I’m polite. I’m willing to try new things, even if they scare me. I’m a loyal friend…mess with someone I love and it’s on. Hell, mess with someone I just like, and it’s on. I’ve always been faithful in my relationships and I don’t play games. I’ve never cheated and I’ve never been tempted to. Once I love, I love.

 I think that’s enough…Two points.
