Poo Poo.

See the picture ? Funny, huh?
Notice the green eyes, they're significant. (It's a reference to the whole "green-eyed monster" cliche.) I call her "Jealous Janet". Justin must be given credit for this catchy cognomen. She is my namesake, after all. Touching.

(By the way... Since I think that my reader pool is expanding past 2 people...Justin is my most favorite significant other in the entire universe and this is his blog.)

So...
Sometimes when I've been described as possessing a certain trait, I look it up in the dictionary to find a loop hole in the definition (Merriam Webster Online). I succeed in rationalizing my way out of having the above mentioned attribute about 70% of the time. If I can't? Well, then I turn to the DSMIV. I look up the mental illness most commonly associated with that trait and quickly realize that I do not meet the criteria.

Referring to Jealous Janet...I waltzed right out of HER shoes. The first definition in the dictionary is: "Intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness". (Note: I will be disregarding definition B.) Hm. That doesn't seem so bad. I would say that it's very normal and productive to be intolerant of "one of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can possess" or "not adhering to vows, allegiance, or duty." See? What was once bad has become good! I'll shout it to the hills!!! I AM INTOLERANT OF RIVALRY OR UNFAITHFULNESS!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!!!! Justin most assuredly followed this same train of thought before calling me jealous. Right, Bub? :-)

In an old post, I commented that I only write a blog when appropriately inspired. I wrote this today because someone called me controlling and it's bugging the shit out of me.
