So recently a lighthearted debate was started amongst my friends about my being a high maintenance gal or not. My one guy friend asserted that I was to which I stood holding my phone in shock going

 " NO WAY!!! "

You see he lives in Vegas and we were having a friendly phone chat about our fun times that day. Something I said about what I did made him say I was HM, to which I took offense. He said he didn't mean it in a bad way at all though. Now to me there isn't really a good way to be HM? It implies being of a difficult nature, harder to please...etc, right? He said that when he first met me, mind you this was back in HS as we have known each other that long, he thought I was a bit spoiled and HM. I said truly? and you still think that after all these years?

Yes, I am certainly very particular in the things in my life, but HM? Wow.

So, this started a whole debate amongst the whole circle of friends that were there with me at the bar that evening. Out of 10 of my friends...4 girls,6 guys the total was 8 not HM and 2 for yes. So, two of my guys friends say that because I am unfraid to ask for what I want...I am HM   : )

Oh well then, I claim that title proudly...woohoo.

One person view of HM might be anothers view of becoming more assertive.

I choose to speak my mind, hopefully being mindful of others feelings as they are of mine also   : )
