Music: Take Me For What I Am-Rent
Subject: TAKE ME FOR WHAT I AM!
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say,
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys - girls
I can't can't help it baby
So be kind
Don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
So be mine
Or don't waste my time
Cryin' -- "Honeybear -- are you still my baby?"

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me

No way -- can I be what I'm not
But hey -- don't you want your girl hot!
Don't fight -- don't lose your head
Cause every night -- who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby?
(Pouts in JOANNE's direction)
Kiss, Pookie.

JOANNE

It won't work.
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit -- I follow through
I hate mess -- but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby?
So be wise
This girl satisfies
You've got a prize
But don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am

MAUREEN

A control freak

JOANNE

Who I was meant to be

MAUREEN

A snob -- yet over-attentive

JOANNE

And if you give a damn

MAUREEN

A lovable, droll geek

JOANNE

Take me baby or leave me

MAUREEN

And anal retentive

BOTH

That's it!

JOANNE

The straw that breaks my back

BOTH

I quit

JOANNE

Unless you take it back

BOTH

Women

MAUREEN

What is it about them?

BOTH

Can't live --
With them --
Or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm gone!

(They both sit.)



"I'm going to have to be frank with you." (Wow, that takes on a WHOLE new meaning after seeing a reinactment of Anne Frank.)

But ANYWAY. I think I've heard that line enough this week. I think I've heard just about EVERYTHING this week.

The main thing I'd like to bring up is how often people tell me that I'm a bitch.

In short: I'm sick of it! Easy solution if you think I'm a bitch: DON'T TALK TO ME!! Stay as far away from me as you possibly can, ignore me, and go on with your life! YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANYTHING BY WHINING ABOUT HOW BITCHY I AM!

Well, now that that's out of the way, I had a VERY enjoyable evening. I went to see a reinactment of Anne Frank at PALY with Rachel and Gabi. We also saw Sophie there! :0D Beth was fabuloso and so was EVERYBODY!! I mean WOW. It was soo incredibly scary and moving and well-done! You guys are so awesome.

So then, being very scared, Gabi and I talked on our cell phones in bed for about half an hour. Very fun. I love you, Gabi!!

I really wish I could have seen Shrek 2 with Nicole and Louise and Molly today or that I could go to Great America with Ali and Sarah on sunday!! I'M MISSING ALL THESE COOL THINGS!!! Oh well. At least I can go to the Tech Museum for some Bio extra credit with Emily P. and Caitlin! :0D

(Now I didn't really mean to make a statement just then, but only one of all of those people has ever called me a bitch.)

***Umm, since I'm all for being open and stuff, it should go without saying that it really hurts when people say things like that to me. I may shrug it off or say something mean back to you, but I do really think about what you say to me. I'm opinionated, I know that, and it goes without saying that I readily share those opinions, but I really don't think that I've hurt anyone to the point of justifying a 'bitch' stature. One of you out there is saying "Oh there she goes, being the pretentious little self-centered, white trash, straight-A, prissy ass, whore without courage, slutty bitch." Well okay then. I respect your opinion. Next time, just don't talk to me.***

And that's a peak into the mind of Melissa.

AWWW NICOLE, I LOVE YOU TOO!!, 05-29-04 4:16pm

Nope, nothing was referring to you. Eh, dont be afraid of the PYT people. If they're going to be bitchy, they're not worth our time. Besides, we have a pretty large PYT posse anyway. I'm thinking of doing Stories On Stage next year, and those are all nice people!

hahahaha, can't say I've ever talked to Stef, sorry! But we've got one large (lol) LAHS person on our side, at least...and OMG GABI!! whoo! She's a freshman now and got into broken box for next year!

But yeah. I've already commented on that stupid dumbass' post. *shakes head* Some people deserve to die.

You are not a bitch, 05-29-04 5:01pm

Yes, you do have your opinions and you voice them but you are not a bitch. Now I am I bitch. If you say it to hurt someone, regardless of whether or not they hurt you first, it's bitchy but doesn't make you a bitch.... Get what I am saying? Well, I don't ^_^ My point being you are sooo far from a bitch, and you can rest easily because it takes one to know one. And since I am one, let me judge you. *Thinks* Verdict: Not bitch! ~Love ya, Dee
