The Bratty Girl
Check out my blog in http://aperfectlycrazedlife.blogspot.com for full details.
You know what, I’m actually starting to feel empowered taking on the persona of a "bratty girl". It’s actually the first time anyone’s ever called me that and its liberating to finally acknowledge the brat within. Hello world, meet the bratty side of Joan!
I’ve often been referred to as the nerd, the geek, the walking dictionary, the ice queen, and the NR (no reaction) kind of girl. Its just not in me to be high brow or delicate but I guess because of the way I look, I’ve often been misinterpreted to be mataray. But (smart) people upon getting to know me find out that I’m terribly cowboy, I’m surprisingly kuripot, and not the least bit of a prima donna or a major bitch. An officemate even told me recently, "How can you be a good lawyer? You’re so smiley faced and you should at least be a bitch para mas madefend mo clients mo!"
But now– I’m having an attitude overhaul. I’m often perceived to be the good girl, "the working scholar" type, the one who never fights back, but now that I’m taking a page off of my bestfriend’s life, I finally welcome it, beware the bratty girl– I always bite back! ^_^

.. id rather have the “nerd” back… mishu gurl,
jo, its not how people “judge ” you. I know in court it matters how you present yourself. But does this so-called change will make you happy? I know that you can still kick ass being the joan i used to know… the strength that you’re looking for? its within you girl
-m not sure if what i am saying’s making sense. all just want you to know whatever you do, m always here for you.

Oh, before i forget, about your friend, i’m sure he could’ve mistakenly thought those men we’re the exact same people that robbed them. Ugly people are look-alikes you know and allegations have to be proven in court…case dismissed. *wink*

Why did you delete my long comment? And why did you have to keep the short one instead? (that’s so Pathetic) I’m so disappointed in you. Can’t take a challenge from an 24 yr.old guy? Just what i thought, a MAJOR Wussy! What a waste of talent. You have proven these exceptional characteristics like eloquence, facile yet loquacious, almost everything was spontaneous but what happened? Chickened-out? Thrown in confusion? MORTIFIED? Quibbled over SEMANTICS…was that’s a definite YES?
Why are you taking law anyway? Is it just for money? Do you wanna help people or maybe you just wanna flaunt it? Did you not know that you can be a exceptional lawyer? I believe you are, you can be! You were born with a gift.
If i was in trouble and an injudicious dick-face referred me to you, I’d rather Hang myself in the hallway instead of enduring the agony which only leads to failure. That’s so much torture!
I would simply want to convey that i wanna bring the BEST out of you. Don’t be a pathetic lawyer ok. Wishing you all the best of luck.
