Judgment, I has it.

Dear person I judged when I saw you.
The prompt for today isn't too helpful, since it asks me to write a letter to someone I judged based on a first impression. I judge everyone I see... most of the time it's not in a bad way, but in a "is that person nice?" "are they cute?" "oh i like his shoes" kinda way. God knows I shouldn't be judging too harshly, seeing as how I hardly conform to what is "normal" most days. I think I'm a happy medium between odd and socially acceptable. Anyway, this letter is not about me, it's about you.

When I first saw you I knew you were bad news. Seriously, who wears a skull ring to a job? No one, unless they work at Hot Topic. You also looked like you hadn't showered in...a few days...and your shirt both obviously dirty and you had the sleeves rolled up. A white button up shirt that you wear to your job should not have the sleeves rolled up. Unless you're catering. Which you weren't. I didn't sit next to you (thank god) but I could still smell you. You smelled bad. I knew deep in my bones that you sir, were not going to last at this job. That, and that you were nothing but trouble and I should stay as far away from you as possible. I can't remember now what your face looked like, but I'm sure you had some serious stubble going on. Anyway, you creeped me out. You also creeped out the other two girls at the training table. Really, there were three nice young ladies, an older but polite man, and then you. I can't even figure out what age you were supposed to be, but hey, heroin is a hell of a drug. Yeah, you were doing that itchy thing that addicts do when it's time to go shoot up in the bathroom. Anyway, I left the training session before you but found out later you were asked to leave. Guess I wasn't the only one who got the "oh god this guy is bad news bears" heebiejeebies. I'm sure deep deep down you are a nice guy. But next time you go for a job interview/training/whatever you should definitely a) shower b) wear clean clothes/iron them c) not do the itch thing d) the skull ring has got to go. So yeah, I think that this concludes my letter, mostly because I was right about my first impression. Most of the time I'm wrong. Thank goodness I didn't have to interact with you long enough to have my initial impression proved correct.
Hope you aren't in jail/shooting up anymore,

There you have it readers, a letter about my superficiality. I hope that those of you who read this and know me well know that I don't judge you. I did when we first met. Sometimes you might do/say something that I do not agree with, but I still like/love/talk to you. So, really, don't think I'm tearing apart all your outside appearance stuff as well as the personal shit you tell me. I'm not. Judgment (can we take a second to consider that i spelled it Judgement and it was seen as misspelled but I googled it and that was a correct way to spell the word? wtf.) is something i reserve for when I first meet you or when I see anyone ever. Just like everyone else. We are not all speshul snowflakes and no matter how horrible it sounds/is, we all judge each other. It's all about competition/feeling better about ourselves/whatever. Maybe you'll disagree and go "but megan, I DON'T judge" I will say, "bullshit and shenanigans, of course you do".
I'll leave this entry with that. Talk amongst yourselves <3
