I like people who are decidedly different. The broken ones, the wild and wacky ones, the ones who dare to be different! They say like attracts like.

Still waiting here.

It's those perfect people that make me want to holler and scream. Everything in its place. Their hair, and clothing styles immaculate along with their plastic smiles.

I knew a girl once when I worked at the hospital a very long time ago (in my mid 20s) who was so dang perky and smiling all the time. She would always ask how are you LuAnn? with this big beaming smile. I mumbled ok. My mind was like how on earth is she like that? And it was consistant. Each time. The same. Each time the same question. Each time me mumbling, "fine."

Life went on.

I moved on.

Some 40 years goes by...I was exercising at the local gym. All of a sudden I heard THAT PERKY VOICE!!!! That smile was in front of me. That same question!!!! Although she had aged (we both had) she seemed a bit worse for the aging. She hadn't changed in her demeanor. I most likely would not have recognized her as she had changed in appearance quite a bit. But one thing remained the same. That DAMNED PERKINESS! I mumbled a "fine."

Maybe I should have entitled this post, "Things that are fake and really annoy me." Oh well, she seemed just as happy as ever. Perhaps I should....nah...no way ....I just couldnt do it.

So how yall feel about perky plastic people?
