"What Do You Think Of Me?"

Okay, like I said in the first post of this series, the question "What do you think of me?" is a tricky one when asked on a blog. I am answering an imaginary interrogator. My answers, however, are predicated upon what I think of said questioner.

Each of my answers will start with "I think you are..." but who is "you" in this case? Is it you, a specific reader? Or is it a general You, a collective You, perhaps related to the infamous They that I'm always hearing about?

I have decided that the "you" in this case is whomever crosses my mind as I answer the question. And since the question will be asked 25 times, I suppose that there is a possibility of 25 different "yous" being represented in my mind. Hell, maybe there'll be more than 25. Maybe there'll be less.

In any case, here I go with the last installment:

What do I think of you, Violet?

I think you are one of Stevie Wonder's Superwomen, and I think you are looking for a good, honest man who will not wilt like a flower in your presence.

I think you are someone who expects way more than is possible from the people you care about, and when they do not match your lofty ideals it is disappointing, to say the least.

In other words, you're a dreamer, just like me...
