Apology Freak

It has come to my attention that I apologize way too much. I'm one of those people that says "I'm sorry" for things I am not even sorry for! Did you have a bad day? Did your cat die? Did you spill your drink? Did you bump into ME? Chances are, you will hear me say "I'm sorry." I don't know why I do it. It is definitely a sign of weakness for me and I hate being perceived as weak! And what does the other person think I'm doing? Apologizing for being in the way, for taking up space in their universe? Geez. I think I mostly say it when I want to show some sympathy for the person, or to acknowledge that something shitty happened that should be apologized for by someone. This seems like a chick thing, but I bet a lot of people do it. I am going to try to stop apologizing for stuff I'm not sorry for and develop a bigger vocabulary of sympathetic remarks.

This weekend has been nice. Great weather, good company. I saw the movie Wanted. It's gotten some mixed reviews, but I liked it. I have a fascination with super powers. I love stories that involve the concept of super powered people, or extraordinarily gifted people. Mostly I like thinking about the ethics of having superpowers. Angelina Jolie's character seemed extra cool, of course. I love warrior gals. She did cool little things, like eating a hamburger while a character gets beaten, not talking a lot and when she did it was important. Typical dude stuff. Also, her tattoos were awesome. Very "steamer trunk." Like she just got stamps all over her body for different reasons at different times. I like that style, but can't see it working on me.
