i’ve never taken criticism well–it hurts. i blame my childhood piano teacher. when i couldn’t get the rhythm right she used to pound it on my back as i played. in her defense, i’m sure she thought she was lightly tapping, but remember i’m a giant wuss.

now, 25 years later nothing has changed–i still don’t handle critical comments well, which is sad since i can sure hand them out. i know perfectly well what my faults are, and most days i’ll admit to them.

so last night when the yuppie called me dramatic it stung. why? because it’s true. i get whiny when i’m tired. rewind–i get whinier when i’m tired. so the fact that it was well past my bedtime when this was said did not help. so, in the span of one evening i was overly-sensitive, whiny and dramatic. awesome.
