Last night I was sitting on the couch with a guy I only really know through texting. We were watching the Italian Job with my roommates and Aaron Beenfield. This guy, we'll call him Moe, kept up a habit of poking me and pestering me all night long, and I kicked and smacked and fought back, like I normally do. Finally, about and hour into the movie, I turned to him and demanded to know why he was being such a punk. He replied that he thought it was funny the way I reacted. I have been told this on several different occasions and couldn't figure out why everybody always noticed this. He went on to ask me if I had any older brothers. I told him yes, but that they were a heck of a lot older than I am. He said, "I can tell. Most girls who have brothers who've constantly teased and pestered them have a 'fight back' attitude."
Ohhhhhhh! I finally get it! People, guys in particular, have always commented on the fact that I'm very abusive, (in a very non-threatening way). It was something that I was always self-conscious about and tried to control better. But whenever I had someone pestering me, I would always find myself fighting back and I couldn't figure out why. Now I get it! Thanks brothers for keeping me feisty!
