Seeing as that I am no longer a redhead, I figured it was time to rename the blog. I hope I'll always be M's Second Favorite Redhead, but I understand if this completely wipes me out of his favor. The Favorite Redhead is way prettier anyway.
So the new title of this blog is Confessions of a Former Goody-Two Shoes. That was going to be the title of one of my books, but let's be honest...my writing isn't good enough to actually be published. It's good for a chuckle here and there on a blog, but not a full length, actual paper book. Or e-book. Since those are the rage with all the kids these days.
Anyway, I used to be such a goody two-shoes. I was the girl who never did anything wrong, who always obeyed her parents, never stayed out past curfew (actually, never went out), and who constantly feared getting in trouble. Like I wouldn't even go sit in empty concert seats a few rows ahead of mine for fear of getting yelled at by the people in yellow jackets at Bridgestone Arena. Although I'm still hesitant to do that.
A lot has changed in the ten years since I moved away from home. I definitely don't think I'm a bad person and my parents are still pretty lucky I turned out as good as I did...I'm pretty great, actually, and I put up with a heck of a lot that most people would not. But that's a whole other chapter that maybe I'll write about someday. Probably not, but never say never.
I curse way more than any Southern lady ever should, make sexually inappropriate jokes on a daily basis, talk about things in public that should stay in private, figure out how to dirty dance to Sandstorm (oh, Blue Bar...), drink too much on occassion (oh, Key West), and probably twenty other things I was raised not to do.
But I also do a lot of good things. I'm good at my job and I enjoy it. In my opinion, I'm a really great friend...I'll do anything I can for you...as long as I like you. I make a mean lasagna and I'm super excellent at rhyming. It's a skill. So obviously, I'm not all bad.
So to all of the readers (all 7 of you) thank you for following my journey as the Second Favorite Redhead and I hope you'll continue to follow my journey into my late 20's. Hopefully I'll survive them in one piece.
