Weenie Punch

I never got a good grip on the social techniques you're supposed to use when trying to get people to like you. I think it's gross when people act like fools and bend over backwards to make you like them. I don't want to be friends with Weenie Push Overs and I don't want my friends to think I'm a Weenie Push Over.

So, for fear of seeming like a Weenie Push Over, I've often opted for standoffish and aloof. Not a great alternative. And I AM a really fantastic person. But I get the feeling people don't like to be friends with unapproachable snobs. Weird, huh? Also, I'm not. Except sometimes I might act like it. ON ACCIDENT. Oops.

(Story of my life- black or white, no grey) (I recognize that I should work on this.)

It all stems back to my childhood, of course. My sister got borned, and she said "I'm a baby and I need lots of attention and I'll MAKE you pay attention to me no matter what," and two-year-old me was like "Damn, baby, that is an unattractive quality, and I'm glad I never was a baby and I'll never act like such a fool to get attention." Which was clearly a lie. And that's why I'm An Attention Whore With a Blog.

So basically, I'm trying a new, despicable approach and begging you to like me and be my friend. And formally follow my blog. With the click of your mouse, you could make this our reality. And I can bet there are a million little boys and girls out there just like me who will say "Damn Stephanie, that's an unattractive quality and I'll never act like such a fool and ask people for attention." One day, you might. And when you do, I won't even make fun of you, except maybe little bit.
