High Maintenance Chick

Yes that would be me!

Published on June 8, 2004 By Sally jacobs In Personal Relationships

This is more of a whinge than anything, so prepare yourselves, for a whinge, hehe. i have such a way with words. Kermit left a few hours ago

. The next two weeks are going to be so long, ahh well I'm a big girl, I'll be fine, I'll probably over blog and you'll all get sick of me, hehe! My blog today is going to be a whinge about Kermit, kind of. I may aswel take advantage of him been away, haha! Not that this won't escape his attention when he returns, but I'm sure it will make him smile. So to my point, I am apparently a high maintenance chick, hmmm. Everytime we have a disagreement, or I moan about something, which isn't often, honest! His comeback is, you're such a high maintenance chick, grrrr! This really bothers me for some reason, I'm not entirely sure why, but it's seen as a bad thing, and by me voicing me disliking of something or telling him how I feel I am being high maintenance, hmmm! I decided to dictionary.com it, just to see what I was ACTUALLY being called, and to see if it really is a bad thing!

High
Having a relatively great elevation; extending far upward: a high mountain; a high tower.

Maintenance
The act of maintaining or the state of being maintained.
The work of keeping something in proper condition; upkeep.

So, basically I'm hard work, hmmmm, well i could have told him that in the first place. I don't claim to be the easiest of lasses to get on with. I do have opinions that I'm quick to voice, and I will speak my mind even if people don't like it, and if I don't like something, I will speak up and say that I don't like it. Maybe I should be a quiet little woman, who does as she's told, and just nods every now and then, how much fun would that be! I would end up going completely insane though. Me and Kermit, as i've mentioned before are very big on honesty, as all people should be. So me not telling him I have a problem with something, would be considered to be, me being dishonested. Is that worth me becoming a low maintenance chick? What exactly would that entail?
Hmmm!

That I wasn't hard work, that I was easy. That I never have a problem with anything, and if I do, I definatly don't tell anyone that I do. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's something completely different. Men don't want women that are high maintenance, is that correct? And if so for what reason? Maybe I moan to much, about insignificant things, but they are big to me. I haven't reached a conclusion yet whether being high maintenance, is good or bad. The one thing I do know is that, that's what I am, and I'm not willing to change that, because that would be changing me, and that isn't happening for anyone. I quite like who I am, and I think Kermit quite likes it to, even if it does mean I can be a huge pain in the ass. I think he just says it to shut me up! Well this high maintenance chick is loud and proud! Yay me!

On a completey different note, jacks had her gorgeous baby boy yesterday, baby Mason. Mummy and baby are both fine. he was almost eight pounds, he's huge, with loads of hair! So lovely!

My rants are over, missing Kermit already *sigh*, i'm going to get excited about Euro 2004, and big bro, yes she is VERY sad, hehe! Take care folks, bye bye xxxxx

Babe - there's a difference between being high maintenance and knowing what you want. Demanding things go your way all the time is high maintenance. Voicing your opinion, and actually having one, makes you an individual. Everyone wants things to go their way - saying what way this is is fine. Forcing it is different.

I get the feeling you know what you want. Keep with it babe! (And I hope that you don't miss Kermit too much!)

I wrote something a while back for an email loop I'm on, which I think says it all, one high maintenance chick to another:

High maintenance women need attention, appreciation and affection. It's a simple fact. I enjoy receiving phone calls from my husband during the day, just to say "I love you." What a man. He knows what I like.

An e-card sent to me or a single flower or special book I wanted, he delivers these things. I love it when he surprises me with a new teddy bear for my collection. I spend a lot of my time smiling around this man. He knows how to make me happy, and because of that, I do my very best to keep him happy.

So, high maintenance is not, in my opinion, a bad thing...

Awww thanks for the encouragement sweety, you really are lovely! I know theres a difference, and I don't hink I'm demanding, I think he just says it to get a reaction, surely a guy wouldn't like a girl that really was like that? Suz, you so need to tell me about your date, and what about Mr Nosey??? Ooooh, I'm feeling nosey, hehe! I'm already missing Kermit and it's only been a few hours, how sad? I'm reaching for Bridget Jones, and the ice-cream as we speak. He's going to return to a fat manic depressive, hehe!

Mikimouse, ????!!!!!!?????, right back at ya!

Awwww poetmom thank you! That's made me feel alot better! It's just nice to know someone cares, and for them to show it is lovely. I treat him how I expect to be treated myself.

I think maybe I'm to nosey, sorry hunny, I know what you mean. Just tell me to mind my own business, or e-mail me, hehe! I was reading one of your earlier articles before, about your friend, I thought it was an amazing article, but i'll talk to you about it on msn, I found it kind of sad, hmm!

Which article was that? The one about the guy who got married? If so, I'm heartbroken. It's worse than a break up to me, as he won't have anything to do with me. As someone said, he may as well be dead (not literally, of course!). Hmph. Someone wrote an article last night which said 'Life doesn't always ask you what you want' So true!

Harry Burns: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally Albright: Which one am I?
Harry Burns: You're the worst kind. You're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.

- Don't worry Sally - oh Sally - I didn't think of that before when I thought of this quote from When Harry met Sally... dah!! -- anyway - Don't worry Sally - my husband agrees with Harry - he think's I'm the worst kind

Sally Albright: But I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real; if it's out of the can then nothing.
Waitress: Not even the pie?
Sally: No just the pie but not heated.

Sally... I hate you and your high maintenance friends!!!

Let me get this straight though - calling a loved one in the day just to tell them you are thinking about them isn't high maintenance at all though!... I dont mind doing that... but girls who act like princesses and throw tantrums when they dont get their own way... *blood boil*

BAM!!!

Awww Trina I love that film, why didn't I think of that! Such a romantic film, awwwww!

Muggaz, hehe, I'm so not high maintenance, i just know what I want and I speak my mind, but I'm not a princess, I don't throw tantrums, I'm pretty reasonable really, lol, or maybe I'm just the worst kind!

Oh good, then by your definition I'm NOT high maintenance after all....I'm most definitely not a princess, nor have I thrown a tantrum since I was very, very young.....
