The very meaning of tag(as verb)is "to attach or give an epithet to; label"
I don't want to be given a label. No, no, no.

And then I figure that those who judge me like that don't know me at all. It's little bit sad but it happens, so I keep smiling.
For example, I was talking few minutes ago with a very very good friend about a film I saw last night.(The Cube – you all know it already)It made a good impresion upon me and happy about that I send a message talking enthusiastically about it. Answer: "Hmm. But you said you don't like The Cube". What?!? ... How could I've said that when I never saw that movie till last night ... Hello. Maybe you confused me with someone else.
Why you people do that? It's confusing really. It hit me like a boumerang. And it's not the first time or the first person who says that I'm one type of person who likes that or that, or who dislikes other things - none of those judgements being right.
And those affirmations are so confusing that make me reconsider myself, thinking over and over for hours or days of what I did to be tagged like that.
OK I'm a atypical person that if you see on the street dressed up in: a shirt, a pair of jeans and some "Apaca outfit" - like someone used to say - my black leather shoes, you will never may guess that I like very much to listen Metalica, Muse, Placebo, The Cure or Iron Maiden, that I go clubbing whenever I can, that I have a private happy life with a boyfriend and all the rest, and maybe that despite my 15 years looking like face I do have a brain that functions 24/7.
I get dressed like that because I go to work, where I do work from 9 to 5, five days a week, where I have meetings with university professors and I can't take some camouflage pants on me and talk to a client. And I don't have the nerve to pretend that I've chosen the best outfit for the office but that can be repaired. I like watching movies verrrry much but I'm not always in the mood to, so don't judge me for one single time I've said NO to a film just because I don't know what else I had in mind at that time and ... please don't think of me that because I'm polite I'm also stupid.
Now, that I'm back to my senses (after the very good friend incident) while writing to this blog, now I feel good and happy.
So today my advice is to keep smiling despite everything.
