Things that are definitely okay!
- Wearing steezy things. Yeah. I wear bandanas... my goggles go under my helmet. I sag my goggles, wear my outerwear a size or two too big, and listen to my music really loud. You can definitely make fun of me for it, but ya gotta know, I do what's comfortable, it works.
- Being loud. I'm ridiculously loud. Sometimes, I don't have a filter, and even more often, I don't have a volume control. I know its true, its funny.
- I'm a human GPS 99% of the time. You can make fun of me for being one, I'm relatively good with directions, I don't plan on ever having a GPS installed in my car. There's a flip side to this though, so hang on.
- Making ridiculous faces. I do it. I can't help it. For some reason I decided, a long time ago, that normal faces are boring. There's like 100 of them. They're hilarious. Go ahead.
- Having a messy car. My life is amazing. Sometimes, I would rather go skiing than clean out my car. So shoot me. It's the Duffmobile, its a mess. You'll live.
Things that are NOT okay.
- Duff, you're gonna get your car stuck. Duff, it's too deep for a Subaru. Duff, you don't know how to drive, you're a girl. DON'T talk to me like that. I've never gotten my car stuck, in snow, mud or sand. I know where it can drive, how deep, and how fast. I know how to drive on snow better than a lot of people, and I'm very cautious about it. The only people I let get in the driver's seat of my car are the people who I know are better than I am at driving in snow. If we're on the highway or in town, I might let you drive. Maybe. Yes, I got in an accident, but the fact that I didn't hit the oncoming truck says a lot. Don't make fun of me for the way I drive, or the way I talk about driving. I like it. I like my car. I like my life. The end.
- Getting 'lost'. I really only get lost when directions are screwed up. If I know where I'm going, I'm not going to get lost. If Google tells me something is where it is not, I might get a little turned around in trying to get there, but chances are, if you just leave me alone, I'll find it on my own. Don't make fun of me for getting turned around, and don't try to fix it unless I ask you. You'll make it worse, promise.
- Boys. I've had a lot of crushes. We all know this. But when you decide to make fun of me for it, play nice. I'm sure you've liked just as many people in your life as I have. And I'm also sure that you're not as level headed about relationships as I am. I haven't dated anyone in almost 4 years.
There's plenty of other quirks about my life, and I'm sure you can come up with some of them. They're probably okay to make fun of me for. :)
Peace, love, and good humor,

I LOVE THIS! I want to make one of my own. Starting with: my music. I love what i listen to. Don't make fun of it, world. And I won't make fun of your playlists. Deal?
Yeah...I like this a lot!
Ohh! Music too! I listen to so much, and I get made fun of for half of it. :P
Thanks lady!
I appreciate your honesty in this, it's so rare to see somebody be real and emotionally open in their writing anymore. I wrote something pretty similar to this a couple of years ago, basically stating the things I'm insecure about - the only difference was I ended each of my thoughts with a positive notion, something that would help me feel stronger in the midst of a negative situation, rather than allowing myself to dwell on it. We all know people say dumb things, and words can be hurtful, but there's a fine line between standing up for yourself and being strong and turning a negative situation back on the aggressor. Regardless, good thoughts :)
Yeah, I know what you mean. This blog is a good outlet for the stuff I don't want to say out loud.
