“…I want you like i’m 18″

I am in love with Fyfe Dangerfield (on the left).

I’ve had it pointed out to me recently that I come across really badly sometimes due to my sarcastic nature, and it’s got me thinking quite a bit recently whether things that have gone wrong with people in the past has been down to me being misinterpreted (although that implies that i’m not to blame) when i’ve been being sarcastic. I personally think that sarcasm (even though it is described by some as the lowest form of wit) can be incredible intelligent, and I often judge someone by whether or not they can get it. Perhaps this is where i’m going wrong.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why I am so sarcastic all the time. Is it because i’m a virgo, and that’s what virgo’s are like?! Is it because I always feel like I have to have the last word? Is it because I enjoy pointing out people’s little quirks and faults to them? Is it because I want to appear like a smart mouth?! Is it so I can actually get my point across without causing conflict, but causing the very conflict in the process?!

Whatever the reason is i’m beginning to try and consciously curb it. But should I!? Should I change this side of my personality because people don’t understand me sometimes and get offended by me, or should I just hold out until I find someone that does get it and does love it.

If I have ever really offended anyone with sarcasm, i’m truly sorry. It is never and has never been my intention to cause anyone any upset with it. I find it funny, and I probably thought you’d find it funny, too. Chances are if i’ve been sarcastic towards you it’s because i’m reverting to playground psychology and hiding my true feelings for you… which happens to be a trait I can’t bear in others…

So maybe I should try and change this side to my personality then, after all.
