Carol Hartsell Is Only a Man
That's What She Said
Carol Hartsell
...for the most part, I see myself from the waist down and other people see me from the waist up. I look down when I walk so I see my camouflage Converse or my decaying black thrift store boots and the muddy, worn cuffs of my jeans and think, "Stay the course, girlfriend, you're edgy yet plain." But other people see the blonde hair, blue eyes and benevolent grin and never realize that it's all masking a sincere desire to start a fight club at that very moment.

Don't worry. I'm sure you can still kick my ass, princess.
Lee Marvin's hair was at one time some color other than white?
I hope that next time we meet and converse, you will imagine stabbing me in the eye with Lee Marvin. That would make my day.
You can even call me princess, if it helps.
somewhere around 25, i just let "princess" happen without a fight.
i have a master's degree, sure. but, the from the waist up part sorta negates that.
now, whenever a person fails to "see" me and talks to me like i'm five and as if my biggest dream in life was a damn house in the burbs or something stupid, i just quietly nod, look vacant, and think about how much damage a person can do when no one is expecting anything of them.
sorta the same as pokin' an eye out, i imagine.
Dammit Carol...
Now I have "Gonna Paint A Wagon" stuck in my head. >_<
You had to go and mention Lee Marvin, didn't you?
"Yeah, well, you can't fuck innocence in the ass, can you?" has to be the most brilliant retort I've ever heard.
I love your kind of thinking.
Can I just say "wow." I have one of those kinds of faces too, the kind of face where if someone curses in front of me, inevitably someone will look at me and say "oops, sorry!" I'm not as nice as people think I am either, but sometimes being underestimated works to my advantage . . .
Pretty hipster chicks filled with rage are a dime a dozen these days. Especially in Brooklyn. C'mon, Carol, surely you're more interesting than that.
I don't live in Brooklyn, I'm not a hipster and I never claimed to be interesting. I am pretty though.
