that my dear, is quite elementary

alright. so i'm sitting here with the Mr. discussing what we dislike about one another and he basically told me i'm taciturn. okay. so he didn't use that exact term (i'm quite sure he would ask me the meaning if i used the term in a conversation), but the summation of me pretty much said it. i know i keep the bulk of my thoughts to myself. that's because i would probably be in jail or dead if i divulged all of them. but he says i keep everything bottled up and then i explode. oh no i don't. i speak my mind. people just choose to ignore it because i don't come off with the neck snapping and other ridiculousness associated with someone expressing their discontent with something. i may just mention it "in passing" to see if the other party picks up on it. if they don't, then i know i have to "dumb it down" when i bring it up again. i will admit, i do take my time letting someone in on my knowledge of a lot of things, but again, i call myself giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and figure they will come right out and tell me instead of me having to read between the lines or dig deeper into their side of the story. i am not an "i told you so" type of person, but my inner little miss knowitall does a victory dance whenever the moment arises. and it has arisen quite a few times. just recently she's burned a few calories dancing around because of people in my world. i write this post tonight because i truly don't believe i don't mention not once my dislike for something someone does (or doesn't) and just outright goes clean off. nope. not me. i will give you an opportunity to rectify any situation with me before i spout off expletives or evidence of my findings to contradict what you've been saying. as for my feelings, i think it is best for me to keep those to myself under lock and key...for now. i will continue to be reticent in his eyes.
