The people who drive me nuts. Those people who I hope to never be like usually have interesting insights that I couldn’t have thought of because I am incapable of really seeing the world through the skewed perspective I believe them to have, but it is their unique view of life that enables them to sometimes hit the gold in ways I could have never imagined. For example, my father’s 4th wife was an ex-Playboy centerfold who was obsessed with money, status, and designer clothes. She drove me nuts, but also noticed the way I ate: like a whore, basically, licking, teasing, and fondling my food as I ate. I would have never noticed this, because I don’t see the world through that overly sexualized, uber-seductress mask. I just enjoyed…well…playing with my food. It was just part of my eating process. Now I am nervous to eat in front of men because now I realize I might be turning them on if I do this. She was right, looking back. Duh. Why hadn’t I noticed this in myself? Oops.
