The Bitch in Us
(Warning: This doesn't sound like me at all, but hell, we all have our days when we act and talk like we're another person.)
We often hear ourselves saying, "What a bitch, that girl," or something along that line (note: "Damn that wench," "What a floozy," "That tramp," "Stupid whore"...need I go on?) Sometimes, we say it so easily and quickly that it only takes us a fraction of a second to utter the word a gazillion times! Tell me I'm exaggerating, but really, how often do you hear that word in one day? I'd say more than anyone would care to count, right?

Assuming I'm right, let me tell you this: have you ever thought that calling someone a bitch makes you a bitch?
If you've thought of this, then I suppose you're acknowledging the bitch in you. Yep, you read right. We know we're being bitchy and yet we point out--with such contempt, might I add--how bitchy others are being. Hn, I guess it doesn't matter if we're flawed ourselves so long as we get to tell another soul how flawed others are, right? Yeah, and we consider doing that highly satisfying and utterly fun! Dang, what perverse universe have we crawled into? Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm not saying that you should stop this twisted habit, not when I often do it myself.
You might be asking what the bleeding purpose of this entry is, seeing as how I'm ranting about something like I'm against it when I'm really not. I have no point, at least none that I'm currently entertaining. Maybe when I read this first entry again "ages and ages hence" (allow me a moment of literary intelligence: The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost), I'd know what I really am trying to say...
...Then again, life's a bitch, so I'd probably be still thinking what the whole point of this is by the time I'm thirty!

And a shout-out to those other biatches reading this (you know who you are...Rawr Johnny Depp!)
