I'm MAD. In fact, I'm stark raving vex! Now to answer your question, yes I've always been MAD, from the time I was a youth to now, a woman in her mid 20s, I've had quite the scowl on my face. It all started when I was a likkle girl. I am red, my Mom is white. Now growing up with a white Mum, I didn't have a chance... with my hair that is. Mum would take one long hard look at my dirty blondish brown afro and shake her head.
"Let's go to get you a haircut", I would often hear her say. Mum couldn't braid or cornrow to save her life and putting a curly haired chile in front of her really didn't help my cause. This meant bye bye to any small kind of growth I had going on, on top meh head. Everytime I would go to the hairdresser's, I would walk out with about three inches of hair left on my head and a negative three on the scale of dignity. I remember my Father constantly steupsing and sighing at the sight of his only daughter without long hair. I'm sure if he knew how to plait, I would have been saved. Thus spawned my childhood of being constantly made fun of and called a boy (and also my ability to kick some bam when I have to!).
As if that wasn't enough to be MAD about, I'm short. Not pygmy short, but short nonetheless. As a youth, I saw my feet grow but not much else. Today, I stand at 5 feet 2.5 inches (yes, the flippin .5 is important!) with a size 9 foot. Sexiness is not what you will see when I wear short skirts and pumps. I look like a rabbit with them size feet!
So, now you know why I'm vex. I would give away more details about myself but this is only the first entry and I want to keep you guessing and reading! So feel free to comment about anything. Are you MAD too? You and I should talk... keep the comments rolling!

Mad Red Woman (MRW) I feel your pain BUT I have to say you put me to shame with your Size 9 foot. I had many friends who said to me that my Size 7 foot was not in proportion with my 5 feet tall body. I heard "for a short girl you foot big we." Mad Red Woman with your Size 9 foot you really make me feel better. I stand up with you today as another Short Big Foot Sister.
