Blog Distress

I've been so scared to start a blog. Mostly because I am always afraid of being wrong about something even in my own opinions (is that possible??).

I'd like to blame my sister. She's perfect and not only perfect but she's eco-friendly...If I could define her childhood in two words they'd have to be "Free Willy". She seriously cared more about recycling, saving the world and endangered species than she did about how she looked. Picture this...roller blades, shorts pulled up to her chest, helmet and lets not forget...hands on the hip. You have to picture this in the late 80's...and she looks sassy...sassy about saving the environment.

She was a nerd. She still is but, I do not judge because a lot of it rubbed off on me and my brother, who is stuck between us. Nerd or not my sister is gorgeous, funny and extremely likable which is why I find it so easy to pick on her. Anyhow, lucky me, I picked up on my sisters habit of speaking your mind except, I'm not as smart as she is. Double. Whammy.

Fast forward a few years where I am in high school. Where I keep butting heads with my former best friend who also happens to be a guy. He has the sharpest tongue on anyone I know and for the size he is..he really shouldn't. He's probably 5'9, skinny as a pole and long hair that he swoops to the side.  Whenever I would try to stand up to him or voice my opinion he would shoot me down so quick, come up with some retort and make me feel so small, so EMBARRASSED, that finally I just shut my mouth. (Which for me...takes a lot...)

So honestly, when I think about making this blog public his face comes to my mind and I imagine how many horrible things he could say and what he could make fun of...By the way did I mention he has a beer belly now? Yeah, he's also dating someone in high school still...not to say that measures anything in life but, it makes me feel just a little better. Oh yeah, we're friends now too. Sad...Who gave up, me or him!?
