Maybe I’m weird but when I’m not good at something and I know it doesn’t bother me. Take sports for example; I suck at sports. Why? Because I have never really cared to play and try to get better. When something comes up where I have to play I mess around and try to get out as quickly as I can. I don’t understand why in the world anybody would throw themselves on the ground diving for a ball that is made to hit the ground. It’s just not my style and I don’t care to try. I’m not a sporty girl, never have been and never will be!
Anyway, tonight my friends decided to go bowling. I suck at bowling. I have only gone a few times and when I have I had the attitude that I do about sports, have a little fun just messing around and try to find a way out of playing. Who really cares right? It’s just a stupid game and the whole point is to go out with your friends and have fun. While we were out we also played pool, another game I don’t care for and one I have never been taught how to play.
Maybe I should have put a little more effort in the games but honestly I rather just chill with my friends than play, so I didn’t really try and I sucked. Of course everybody was making fun of me and I played it up big time and laughed at how bad I was. No big deal, we are all just out having fun together, right? Or so I thought…
Somewhere along the way I guess somebody got annoyed and didn’t like my attitude so the jokes started to get a little personal. I didn’t let that bother me and just kept having fun. After all they were the ones who were making me play; I just assume sit and watch. In response to the mean remarks I laughed and said, “hey next time we go do something I’m good at.” One of my “friends” replied back with. “And what would that be…. A Beauty Pageant?” and then they all started laughing about how I'm only good at “being pretty”.
I should take this as a compliment because they did call me “pretty” but my feelings are kinda hurt. Yes, I’m not good at any sports, bowling, pool, singing, video games or any of those kinds of things, but I am good at other stuff. I guess the things I’m good at just aren’t the type of things friends go out and do every night for fun. I never had a problem with it and I didn't think it was a big deal. But now my feelings are hurt and that just sucks more than me trying to play sports :(

#1 I’m so glad you came back to the blog world.
#2 I would love to read another one of your hilarious post about your adventures in dating, but this time don’t feel bad and delete it.
#3 Have you read any more Twilight books you can make fun of? I love reading that too.
#4 AND THE MOST IMPORTANT!!! Utah people suck!!! Duh!! Your problem isn’t you have no talent; your problem is you are hanging out on the dark side. Come back home, lets go dancing, lets have a beach bonfire, lets do all the awesome things that Utah people aren’t cool enough for.

Lol! Besides, you are good at a sport - hiking barefoot. I can't do that. I wonder if they could :P Come to WA with Rachel, we'll actually have fun bowling :P (Or some other random thing that we always used to do) ;P
Uhmm, jerkfaces. Obviously they haven't seen your lipsyncing to Britney Spears skills, because you are AWESOME at that. And that's the kind of thing I do for fun with my friends [aka you!] :)
And yeah, like Alicia said, WE HIKED BAREFOOT. You are awesome! If they lived in Hawaii and not stupid Utah where the weather is stupid, then maybe you could actually have fun with them. If they were nice people that is. There are much nicer people in places with nice weather so you would have better friends there anyway :)
I love you Melissa!!!! We need to do something soon!! I promise it won't involve sports or bowling because I suck at those things too!
Thanks guys!! I love you!!
