"miss independent" by kelly clarkson

so it sucks when i break form and become one of the stereotypes. for instance, asian people can't drive or vietnamese people do nails, viet girls are short, asian people good at math...etc. and being the femi-nazi that i am, i believe women and men are equals. we can do anything you do!

and it drives me utterly mad falling into one of those categories. today was one of those days...

i've never gotten a traffic ticket. i don't do nails. i installed flooring in my own house. i can change the oil in my car. i know the difference between an allen wrench, phillips screwdriver and a flathead. i know how many MB are in a GB and but today...today i wanted to kick myself.

i got to work and apparently left the lights running in my car and when i tried to leave 8 hours later, my battery died. and if you are a guy right now, i bet you are thinking that princess needs to be rescued or girls always do that. well no...in the 5 years that i've owned this car, not once have i left my lights running, until today. what made it worse was that my knight in shining armor was so macho about it. he made it like i needed him. the truth is i don't need him, i needed the female security guards jumpers and any other car. but he made it out like i needed to be rescued.

i'm going to call him "Carlton" to be annoymous. so to the Carltons of the world, don't approach me like you are bomb dignity and expect me to swoon when all i need is a jump. i don't care about you, i'm using you. i'm trying to get in my get-away car and drive as fast as i can away from you.

Carlton, you have been entered into my book of people i want to punch in the face. congrats.

i'm going to buy one of those cigarette lighter jumpers...men are for procreation or is it recreation. 
k i'm done venting...love you.
