Bandwagons That I Refuse to Jump On

I'm on the New York-DC bus right now and I'm really bored, so I think that I am going to just write blog posts until I get motion sickness.

* Hating airbrushing. If I knew how to airbrush, I would have as many pictures on Facebook as my salsa dancer sister-in-law. People I haven't seen would leave messages like, "D@#n girl, back on Slimfast?"

* Fanny packs. Some of my friends keep shaming me in public by sporting them. In the early '90s, my mother bought a fanny pack for Disney World and my sister promptly hid it. She should be hailed as a brave defender of feminine beauty.

* Pinterest. Am I missing something?

* Blaming the decline of Western Civilization on supermodels. It has never occurred to me to strive to look like them (hobbit apathy), so I feel no need to post rants about how Marilyn was a size 14 or whatever. Why do people care about this?

* Laughing at stuff that isn't funny, especially at church.

* Saying "friendly reminder" in a passive aggressive way.

* Older girls demonizing younger girls. I will admit that I am more used to teens than the average person, but I like that they are less likely to be depressed and prone to long boring convos about not dating. And they usually like my stories (if you are reading this, ask yourself, "Am I under 25?" I feel like the odds are good). If men want to marry nineteen-year-olds, go for it.

* Buying weird stuff off t.v. In Latin America it is always something like snail juice with weight loss properties.

* Twilight-Self-explanatory

* Huge, ugly hair flower headbands.

* Very vocally hating Valentine's Day. Today my student handed me a box of chocolates and said, "Ain't no one love you but me." What is there to hate?

  1. So with you on Pinterest, demonizing younger girls, and Twilight. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

  2. If you are a visual learner pinterest is the bomb. I'm a book marker but looking at random list of http:// addresses on my computer was just not that helpful. Now I can keep track of all the things I want to, via pictures in categories. I find it helpful...but posting pins to facebook...that is annoying :)
