i was called a big word tonight. incorrigible. i am not going to lie, i looked it up, because i thought it meant "not change," which it sort of does, but this dictionary.com definition is horrible.
incorrigible:
1. bad beyond correction or reform
2. impervious to constraints or punishment; willful; unruly; uncontrollable
3. firmly fixed; not easily changed
4. not easily swayed or influenced
i think perhaps the only definition that can be interpreted as good is #4. i also think that perhaps all these can apply to me, but in moderation. #1) am i bad beyond correction or reform? probably. but not in regards to anything really bad. maybe just my love for rum. #2) am in impervious to constraints or punishment? only when im doing something involved in #1. #3) am i not easily changed? who knows, no one has ever tried. #4) am i not easily swayed or influenced? isnt this an oxymoron? if i were not easily influenced, would i now be bad beyond correction? someone had to put the cocktail in my hand. regardless, noone is perfect. but, that old saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," is a crock of shit. luckily, i think her calling me incorrigible was a joke. :)
