Because I am extremely modest, read about me. A guest post by a close personal friend of Her Supreme Inimitably Flirtatious Fashionableness, Megan.So let me tell you about Megan. Because while you think you know her, you really don't know jack. Megan is one of those people whose age you'd never guess accurately because while she has some of the quirks and mannerisms of a teenager, she has the wide-eyed ambition of a senior in college and the stark pragmatism of a boomer. What's surprisingly missing is all the spurious arbitrary angst of the Gen-Xers she mingles with and the superficiality of the Gen-Y types she'd easily pass for. She's entirely herself. Radiating when she could be absorbing. Big fancy words to say she's the most genuinely fun grownup I know. I know almost everyone's story except Megan's. I've seen parts of it, but what I've seen doesn't jive with what I've seen come out of those stories. By all accounts Megan's supposed to be a brooding pissed off jaded selfish hard boiled militant feminist activist with an anti-man agenda to rival the best of them. Not so with Megan. Beats me, why. But since her "Stuff" doesn't seem to shape her, I'm going to gloss past it. Idealism shapes Megan. Ever seen a cruise missile? Those ones they pre-program a target into and then fire out of a ship at like mach 2. Weather, terrain, anti-missile systems, and concrete walls are all useless. The cruise missile has a destination in mind and it just Gets There. Megan's like that. Without all the senseless material plans, she has a vision of who she wants to Be and how she wants to Be when she's there. I really believe that vision is what's behind what some people misinterpret as stubbornness and workaholism. She doesn't know or care how the middle part is supposed to go, she just knows where she's headed. Megan is about love. Not frilly superficial romance or selfish covetous possessive love, but just a life in celebration of the expressing and sharing of affection. Her greatest happiness and her deepest hurts come from her heart. And Megan is about sexuality, in a good way. While I've seen women who've been shaped and defined by their sexuality, Megan has taken it and made it hers without compromising her identity inside of it. Flirtatious and sensual WHILE remaining dignified and aloof. You have to see it in action to understand. Envy and pity the man who she chooses. It'll be fantastic and complex. Lastly, Megan has practical morality. She gets it that rules are a standard but love transcends standards. Sound familiar? Yeah. Jesus. Megan may just be accidentally emulating him. Without taking on the lifestyles of her friends she doesn't shun those people. Where something is questionable she lets it slide, but where something is destructive, she'll light up! Interestingly, while she forgives her friends I know she lets her own self-discovered failures haunt her secretly and keep her focused on her ultimate vision for herself. It is always nice to hear good things about you first thing in the morning. Actually, its great to hear them ever. Thanks. Posted by Bella at 9:16 AM# 0 Comments:
