BOSSYPANTS!!!

[disbelief11]

author's note: one of my dearest friends recently told me I'm bossy and I'm having the hardest time reconciling that with how I perceive myself. Still, I'm trying to wrap my brain around it and embrace the Bossitude. You filling out my poll might help me do this...but I'm certainly not bossing you around. No pressure!

I think bossy is a good thing.

On the grounds that I was so cheerfully drunk that I couldn't figure out how to use the train ticket thingy and you did it for me, I would categorize your bossiness as the sort that is meant to cut through the crap and smooth out the edges for you and whoever is around you. I think I need repeat exposure to determine exactly how bossy you are, however.

I think bossiness is good. I am also known to be bossy. However, I do enjoy letting dumbshits who think they know better than me fuck up so that I can laugh at them.

Unsurprisingly, in addition to having the correct opinions and methods in most cases, I am also a sore loser.

(I'd just like to point out that I'd never taken a train in Chicago before, and thus facing a ticket machine in a tipsy state was too many kinds of new for me right then ;)

Ack! I don't even remember the train ticket machine. See, an example of my bossiness that I wasn't even aware of. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, beautiful one.

No! It was good! I would still be standing there chortling with helpless drunken glee had you not taken matters into your own bossy/capable hands. Well, actually, I'd probably have sobered up by now...

Things I appreciate in others are often the things I appreciate in myself: bossiness, a taste for the ridiculous, and complex sentence structure, for instance. I wish Chicago was closer--I'd like to be able to spend more time with you.
