Just call me bubbles!
Ok, that title was a shoutout to my sister, she's the only one who would get it. But the point is, tonights entry is going to be about one word: bubbly.
Alyssa wrote in her blog the other day that the one word she would use to describe me is, without a doubt- bubbly. This got me thinking: am I really a bubbly person? I thought back to my junior high years immediately. It was a tradition for all the 8th graders to leave somethhing to the 7thgraders in the "class will" in the school paper, and when I was a 7th grader, 2 kids left me stuff: one of the goth girls left me her black lipstick, and the resident 8th grade burnout left me his "enthusiasm for life" (obviously both were meant to be bitingly sarcastic!) I guess I always have been kind of perky. I remember watching one episode of Saved by the Bell when I was little (the awful episode where kelly dumps zack for the jerk Jeff) and Jeff makes fun of Kelly for dotting her i's with hearts and smiley faces. Um, yeah, I was known for doing that, until a teacher pulled me aside in like 5th grade yelling at me for obviously "screaming for attention". Yet another sign ofmy perkiness, i guess.
Then I got together with some of the CHS crew last nite, and we watched mean girls. I had never seen that movie before, but its really funny. My favorite part was when some girl gets up on stage and amid all the catfighting girls, she goes "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school... I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy... " Dan and alyssa both turned around and looked at me and said "THAT'S MEGAN!" lol Later on, we were talking about where we see ourselves in the future. Dan was saying how in 10yrs he sees himself going to the annual 4th of July picnic at Megan and Chris' lovely home. LOL he said one of my children will go up to him and ask "uncle danny, why dont you have a wife?" and he will sit them on his knee and explain why uncle danny is different! Him and alyssa were then planning on how they will corrupt my future children. I was cracking up, because I can sooooooo picture it!
The weird thing is, I don't really consider myself super-perky and bubbly: I just hate confrontation and conflict. I need everyone's approval, which is why I so often put on that happy face. I think we all do that, maybe I just do more than others some times. Don't get me wrong, I usually am happy, that's not an act, but I guess after over a decade of being considered the "brainy one" by my peers, its kind of fun to act outgoing from time to time. Also, in a crazy world its nice to sometimes be optimistic and naive, i guess!
