Reasons why I'm incredibly selfish at times...

So, I like to think of myself as a pretty decent human being, but I also think it's pretty decent of me to admit that I can be very selfish at times. I like to blame this on the fact that I was the baby of the family for 12 years of my life and then got a little sister. Or maybe I just blame it on the fact that sometimes...you just need to be a little bit selfish.

1) So, this economy sucks for everyone, but I think it's just happening to ME: I realize this economy sucks. I realize so many people are out of work, and I should be considered lucky I at least make money every week. But sometimes, I just want to have a tantrum because it's just NOT freakin' fair that all of that money is going towards gas, taxes, and I am not even doing what I want to be doing. Go to hell economy.

2) Sharing food: This is probably so stupid, but I hate sharing all the "good" food in the house I like...I still live at home and don't even pay for the food, but yet, I get incredibly pissed off when people eat the stuff I LOVE, and there is not even anything left for me. So in case you come over to visit, do NOT eat my ice cream (cookie dough) or drink my Vitamin Water.

3) I will never see a "stupid" movie you wanna see that I don't: At least I can admit this is rude of me, but I will not go see any action movie or movie that looks boring, but yet, if you're coming to the movies with me, be prepared for romance, comedy, or horror. Only movies I will see in theatres. Sorry.

4) I like doing stuff at MY house: If someone is coming over to watch a show or just hang out, I like being at my house. I don't know why, it's just me. Nothing against anyone else's house, but I just prefer it.

5) I'm sure the question of "Did I get that too?" has been asked to my parents 1,000 times: I like to think of this one as something I'm sure my sisters and I all do...when I stopped getting an Easter basket, I was mad because my sisters got one for more years of their life. That is the problem having 4 children, all girls :) They all hope that they get all the EXACT same stuff, at the EXACT same time in life, and for the EXACT same money. I know my parents give us a lot, and more importantly love us, but hey...I still haven't gotten my graduation present... :)

6) I will argue for the sake of arguing: I don't know what it is, but there are definitely times when I just love to argue. I like to make points, bring up information not that relevant, and keep arguing for no reason. I think this makes me a little bit selfish because do I need to be doing this....no...but I want to, so I will.

So, hopefully some of these things are things you can relate to. Maybe I can write a post in the future about why I am not selfish to make myself feel better about myself, but until then...I will just argue with you why being selfish sometimes is okay :)
