but you did today.You enjoy random acts of kindness, but usually from a distance; And you don't ever enjoy random acts of kindness that could jeopardize your job. But you did today.
A woman from The-Would-Be-Surfshop-on-the-Beach called your work today and asked for a reference; A reference for The-Girl-Who-Called-You-Fat. Ok, so she called you fat in middle school, when you were fat, but that's not the point. The point is that because of this girl, her Mother*, and your Step-Mother, you're now stuck in this strange pseudo-reality of never being skinny enough. Never.
Even though you're totally not even Gay-Fat.
Anyhow, the woman from The-Would-Be-Surfshop-on-the-Beach then heard "the most amazing reference she had ever received for a prospective employee."
From your mouth.
Through a phone line.
To her ear.
About The-Girl-Who-Called-You-Fat.
You realized just as you were about to trash the hell out of The-Girl-Who-Called-You-Fat that after the horrible thing her Mother* did recently, it probably wasn't even her talking way back in middle school. When you were fat.
You realized that people cant choose their parents or the values that said parents attempt to instill; And after the long, heart-felt conversation you had with The-Manager about how The-Girl-Who-Called-You-Fat is trying to be a better person came rushing back, you realized that today was your first, genuine, conscious act of random kindness and forgiveness. All at once.
Though you don't always show it, you're not as stubborn as you appear, and you like that.
*- The-Girl-Who-Called-You-Fat's Mother also happens to be the cuntbag who walked into your work and told The-Manager (who just happens to be quite awesome) that you were gay. Duh. Oh, and one other thing; that you had fellated your former employer, The-Hot-Australian-Sushi-Chef-Who-Was-Trained-in-Germany, for a good reference. You should have, but you didn't. Damnit.
