It's been a while since I've been on here. Suffice it to say that I returned from vacation to find my personal and professional life turned upside down and backwards and not in a good way. But it has made me reflect on some of my personality traits and I have to admit, I'm just one big ol' book of contradictions, as most of us probably are. Here are some of the things that just don't sync up:
300 and Watchmen: I'm not a violent person. And I can't stand gunfire, cannon fire or even fireworks. (When I was three, a "gunfighter" at Six Flags broke character to assure me that it was all make believe because I was crying so hard) So why are these my favorite movies?
Kid Rock: This is probably the area that humiliates me the most. I'm what could probably be considered a bit of a feminist or at least very progressive. So why did I just buy a Kid Rock CD this weekend? Well, because it had a remix that involves Werewolves of London, but that's still no excuse for supporting someone who dated Pamela Anderson!
Sense and Sensibility: I LOVE this book. To the point where it used to be my comfort book when I was unhappy. But again with the feminist thing!
And these are just the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure there are much more embarrassing examples that just go against everything I believe in.
What about you? What contradictions do you have?

I have the same feminist struggles. I love Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (I know...). I always laugh when Romy humors Ramone by letting his buddies think they screwed in the office when really they just pretended via a bribe...because Romy wanted to borrow Ramone's swanky Jaguar to impress people at the reunion. Shameful. And that's just off the top of my head.
