Same situation. But the thing is, I'm not attracted to those people. They come to me, and insist on staying around. It's freaky every time. I know that something in me or about me is magnetizing that kind of energy toward me, and I've been struggling to figure out what it is. I've had some people try to do some serious damage, and succeeded. :( Oh yeah.. Same situation. But the thing is, I’m not attracted to those people. They come to me, and insist on staying around.

I love it. But all my friends hate me for watching it and I'm like "y'all, it's sooo GOLD!". Where else do you get a show in which participants are brought to a house under the vague premise of becoming a better "person" without anyone facilitating that progression? It's so twisted! And I love all the serious one-on-one moments in which the girls analyze and apologize for actions and situations, but without any sincerity! This show constantly challenges my ideas of morality and personal responsibility. It also causes me to live in constant state fear that I might run into one of these bad girlz in LA. They would so "pop off" on me. OMG, “Bad Girls Club” is sooo wrong. I love it. But all my friends hate me for watching it and I’m like “y’all, it’s sooo GOLD!”.

( not in the way I like ) There have only been four- ( one of the stalked me on my job and spent the night on my front porch ) It's kind of sad actually. I've stopped dating. Im' afraid to get involved again. Every guy that I have ever dated has been a nutjob.

I don't like perfect people. Not only are they boring but the pressures of hanging out with someone perfect would make me go over the edge. As I get older I learn that being that perfect, well mannered, well behaved woman isn't me. There is something youthful about letting go and bring your crazy side out. It makes you more real, more human. But really crazy people...well I don't have a problem punching them in the face if I have to. Because really I don't want to end up dead in an ally, becoming someone's skin dress, lunch or cut into little pieces and dumped in a corn field.

I'll admit to having suffered clinical depression, but I pride myself on not being 'annoying crazy': the kind which freaks out people at bus shelters. And yes, I attract the slightly odd (but essentially sweet) in droves. But I'm cool with it because these people need love. The only real problem I had was with the lady who hated everything. She was also extremely funny, intelligent and she adored her cat (a big positive). We were great friends.... until she told me that she also hated my fiance.

Last year, I was telling a couple of my saner friends that I somehow attract (and AM attracted to) the crazies. I love people that think differently. I'm actually quite normal. No mental issues, suburban, steady job, two kids, two cats, a husband. But I love the underdogs and people who don't quite fit. I think it's because I grew up, hard of hearing, wearing hearing aids and feeling like a complete outsider. The kids who embraced me in a school of cruel, evil children were also underdogs themselves. They were sometimes a LITTLE BIT NUTS too. So I love them for that. Right now, I'm calmer. But the people I love and surround myself with are still "imperfect". I love that though. I love imperfect, fractured people. Oh, and with every relationship, friendships or otherwise, we always leave open the possibility of sexuality entering at some point. So, that makes life rather exciting to me. We're pretty open like that. YES. Last year, I was telling a couple of my saner friends that I somehow attract (and AM attracted to) the crazies. I love people that think differently.
