... if you catch her at an inopportune time, Brenda can be a bit ... edgy.
Blunt, even.
The situation with the phone call to local radio she made in St. Louis about Martz is a perfect example. What's that old saying? Measure twice; cut once? She didn't even measure once. She just threw the board on the cutting table and went to town.
The story I've heard or read (or both) is that the day she buried her father and mother, who had been killed in a tornado, she basically said to Kurt ... 'if you're not serious about me and my kids, you shouldn't be here and become part of this memory for us.' Methinks that is just the type of personality she has. Straightforward. Not a lot of frills. Bells or whistles. She doesn't massage the message too often. When you consider the things she has been through ... I guess that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
Kurt, on the other hand, is said to be very, very different. I'm sure there are exceptions, but his personality seems far more airy. More oriented towards making the other person in his conversations comfortable. More of a, 'Hey, how you doing? Good to see you! How was the trip?' sort of guy.
It's a unique relationship, to say the least. Kind of like that line in Rocky:
She's got gaps; I got gaps. Together we fill gaps."
What was the tv show that had Kurt on in one episode playing himself, but kind of really playing the opposite of himself? It was a great joke I thought. They wrote his role so he comes off as rotten bad self-centered. The fun was knowing he was playing himself against type.
