I decided some people are exclamation marks and some people are periods. Hey some may even be .....'s but that is another discussion. I, however, I am a period. I am not an exclamation mark. My life is not in your face, loud, trying to get attention and say "Look at me, look at me!!". It is just a period. This is me. I don't state my needs, too many opinions to too many people. I don't talk about myself to too many people, I don't take what I want or need, I don't stand up for myself much. If you don't listen, you'll miss it. If you don't look, you might not see. And trust me, few actually know what I think. Few actually care to know. Good for them.Not saying you should care or should listen. Exclamation marks get attention, they get listened to, they get noticed, they are admired, they are often popular, they are most definitely enthusiastic. Anyway. .. not that any of this for certain makes sense. I am just not an exclamation mark.

Thats funny! I think that sometimes I am both. Sometimes I care and sometimes I don't. Brandon is defintely a period. That is why we fit together. I want to get to know you better, that kinda sounds cheesy. But seriously I don't really know the real Toni!!!
There you go getting all deep on me again. You really look into life. That is amother reason you are a period. Steady right? I am not sure what I am, somedays I feel like a question mark.:)
For better or for worse, I am definitely an exclamation point as you defined it. I think some of it comes from being a middle child and having to fight for attention and to get my needs met. Or maybe that's just cuz everyone in my family is an exclamation point and we have to talk loud to be heard over one another.
My dear husband also falls in this category. Rest assured it's never quiet when we're around!
I really like this post. You are a period - strong, stable, steady, reliable, determined. I always try to listen when you talk, because you are so quiet at times, I feel like when you do talk - I better listen - I will only get it once. You talk with importanct and don't waste time on futile discussion.
I think that is why I admire you so much. I am definitely an exclamation point, loud and obnoxious...I've always wanted to be quiet and myseterious...it just wansn't in the cards!
I am a &
I think I am a +
