Another side of me!

I kind of left this little experience out from the last blog and decided to do a blog of it's own. I have many sides and I think we all do. We choose to let others see our good side most of the time and kind of keep our other sides personal. Well, I have a good side, a bad side, a sentimental side (which I'm sure everyone has definitely seen before). I cry a lot and sometimes I wish I didn't, but I just can't help it, really!! When I'm happy, I cry. When I'm mad, I cry. When I'm sad, I cry. When I'm sleepy......well I sleep of course hahaha (ya seria el colmo). This bothers me because I feel like others see it as my weakness, which it very well could be, but I'm the only one who really knows me very well and even though I would like to change that it's just not gonna happen. So now you know  I pretty much cry all the time, but that's not what happened in this case. I was surprised to see this side of me come out and to be honest it caught me by surprise. I am not the confrontational type of person at least not with strangers and if they say something I just ignore them. I have never really had any problems with anybody before though. 

As I am telling you the story I want you to put yourself in my situation and let me know if I was wrong. So we were @ Disneyland taking a picture with Donald Duck and as soon as we finished I noticed Snow White walking by. I didn't want  Velani to miss the opportunity to take a picture with her and get her autograph so I took the stroller and tried to catch up to her as fast as I could. Now, of course, I am not the only one after her there are other people chasing after her as well. When we finally get to the place where she was at I kind of just stood next to the other people (about 4 or 5 of us get to her first). We are kind of circling her so we can get the picture taken, but then Alice and the mad hatter arrive and start talking to each other and we are waiting for her so she cant take those pictures with us. By this time more and more people arrived, but I never turned to see anybody. I was there for the autograph and picture and that was my purpose, but Miss Snow White is still talking to those other two and ignoring the people who are there to take pictures with her. She finally notices there are a lot of people waiting for her and she says "If you want to take a picture with me you have to get in line along this fence." So that first family that was there when I arrived still hadn't taken a good picture with her until she announced that ( 7 -10 minutes have gone by now since I got there ). So I'm standing a few feet away from the fence waiting  for my turn when this Chicana lady says "Um, ma'm, you have to get in line" ( as she pointed back). That is when I noticed how many more people had arrived AFTER us and she was one of them. So I said, in what I thought was a nice way,   "yeah,but I was already here"  and she said "yeah, but she just said to get in line if you want to take a picture with her." then I said  with a little attitude "OKAAY, but I was here first"  and she gave me this look and turned to her boyfriend or husband and said " Gosh! some people just don't have any class!" and I turned around again and said more strongly and with a nastier attitude " Yeah, that would be you!". 

 I still think about it and it still bothers me because I have never been told anything like that before and wonder of how I really must have sounded and acted for her to say that. I probably would have kept on going at it with her if I kept on listening to the rest of the things she said, but Snow White finally acknowledged us and we took our picture and just left. So my point of view is this: I wasn't gonna go stand behind a huge line knowing I got there before all of them just because they got in line faster than I did when Snow White made that announcement. I mean if I knew there was someone else before me I would have let her gone first because she got there first, right? 

Anyways, I guess I just need to let it go. The point of all of this is I noticed a different side of me. I knew I had it within me, but never really used it on some stranger before. It kind of felt good telling her what I thought instead of keeping quiet. It showed I had a strong side and guess what? I didn't cry! 

P.S. Now I know that if Snow White had just payed attention to us as soon as we got there instead of chit chatting with her fellow colleagues none of that would have happened. I was upset at her too, but don't  tell Velani. 

Here is a picture to prove what I just said. Hmm I wonder how long I really took from the time I got there to the time I left? mom?

And still ignoring!! argh
