Know all about, about your reputation

I guess this doesn't really have much to do with reputations. Maybe more about judging books by their cover? Possibly not even, I'm just going to start writing. Reputations have been bothering me a little lately. It just seems so weird because from place to place people can have different reputations. I know that for me, at home, well I'm not sure what kind of rep I have to be honest. Here I think it's more of a homebody wild girl. If that makes sense at all! I'm not usually in Peterborough on weekends but I'm still known for some wild, crazy things I've done. In Bracebridge at the cottage (haha, not at Subway) I'm seen totally different. My reputation says I'm responsible, goal oriented, rarely party. My family sees me as a mix of both. Fortunately I don't think I've been labeled anywhere as a slut, maybe as manipulative, but not as a slut.

Actually in Con-Ed on monday we were talking about girl - girl relationships and guy - girl relationships. We were discussing the drastic change that relationships have made, girl - girl relationships are now becoming violent, like some guy - guy relationships are. We were trying to get down to why girl - girl relationships have gotten so vicious. One of the girls said that the relationships were switching around and girls were becoming vicious and guys were talking about each other and being verbally abusive. At this point 2 of the 3 guys in my class looked at each other and mouthed "what the heck is she talking about?" So, clearly she can't be taken seriously. Another girl's theory was that girls have talked about each other, verbally assaulted each other to the max and there is no where else to go now but physical. What does bitch really mean? Slut? Whore? Those words are all desensitized because friends use them all the time. Just walking around you here someone say, "Come on slut we're going to be late." By no means does the person doing the talking think she's a slut, it's just a common word now. Granted when someone you don't know uses the word on you you still feel hurt and insulted but it's not the same as it once was. After discussing girl - girl relationships and how vicious and mean girls were are Prof asked us if girls treated guys the same way. I basically said, "Nope, girls aren't mean to guys, they just manipulate them." And the sad thing is, most of the girls agreed. Girls wrap guys around their fingers all the time just because they can. I'm sure it gets us lots of benefits, but in the end is it really worth it? Seeing as I've been labeled manipulative I'll try my best to explain the after effects.

I still have a lot of growing up to do, but just from growing up the little bit I have over the past while I really do regret the manipulation. It's just crappy, why bribe a guy or offer what you've got just so that he'll drive you somewhere or do something for you. It's not a very healthy relationship. Who wants to be with a manipulator and who wants to be with a push over! I don't believe either side is good to be on. There comes a point in time where the manipulator gets it all shoved in their face and that's just not worth it.

I dunno, I just kind of randomly went with this and put it together.
