I know I'm shocking some of you by not going with A if for Anal, right? I'm full of surprises. Like I will be surprised - no, shocked - if I actually have a post for every letter of the alphabet this month...
The Alpha Bitch. I'd not heard of it until my friend defined it for me and followed up by telling me that was what I was. Yes, he called me an Alpha Bitch! He lives too far away for me to physically kick his ass, but after some thought, I had to admit that he was right.
Don't be shocked as to me, the definition of an alpha bitch is a strong woman who, once you've gained her respect and loyalty, is a solid friend. If not though, if you show yourself to be unworthy, she bites. That's what my friend said anyway. Something about 'if a man retreats into a corner, you bite until there's nothing left'. Like I said, he lives too far away for a good ass kicking but seriously, he's actually a very good, honest friend whom I just like very much.
I consider myself to be a modern woman with some very traditional ideas in certain areas of my life. I'm outspoken and mostly, I know what I want. Well, ok, that part is not quite true - I know what I don't want is more accurate. And I know what I expect from a man. It's funny, one of the things I would always say about my husband is that I married him because he wouldn't take any of my bullshit. That's still true today. I like that he takes care of me and supports me. He even looks over my royalty statements and tracks sales and tells me about trends and I smile and nod, happy that he's involved but not really following. I trust him completely and for me, that is saying a lot. But I know if he hadn't pushed back every single time I tried to take the upper hand, we might not be together right now or we might not be as happy to be together. That's kind of critical for me. We have kids and we are bound to each other - like it or not - and it's much more fun when you like it.
What about you? Alpha bitch? And would you be offended to be called that or flattered???
