ToyfulSweetartMavMOM's blog: "Words Matter A Great Deal To Me"

Yes folks, I've just had this brilliant idea that self-deprecating humor is perfect for people like me. It's a great way to set up the would-be admirers with in-your-face-can-you-handle-it dialogue with your pitiful-but-abundantly-witty-state of mind. The objective of this downhill run is to see if you can spot the defective areas from a distance, calculate whether or not the slope is do-able. Mentally prepare yourself for the twists and turns. Learn how to ski in armor for protection of the barbs and broken glass scattered around the course. The object is to have quick reflexes and not take anything too seriously as it really is just a matter of luck if anyone actually makes it down the slope. Most will say, screw it and walk away. Which brings me to another great point of self-deprecating humor. It separates the gutsy ones from the whimps. The champs from the chimps. And if anyone should actually make it to the finish line, you'll damned well know they effin deserve a little respect. If you are a girlfriend though, I offer you the bunny slope. But even those can have a few crevices to manuever around from the melt downs. It can be a bitch to dig yourself out of those sink holes. But still, it separates the lesser women from the ones that will actually hang with you through thick and thin. Yes, this sporting event is hairy and scary and could actually be one of the sports that few ever finish. Fine by me. It keeps me from having to deal with the losers. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention. I'm not a loser anymore. I'm an obstacle course. Are you laughing yet?
