This post is inspired by one of my favorite and most recently-discovered blogs, "Not Hating, Just Saying." Every day, they hate on a new thing in hilarious ways, and a recent post was about chicks who claim that they play video games. An excerpt:"I'm not hating on girls who say they play video games, but no, you don't. Wait! I'm being totally unfair to you guys!!! I'm forgetting the half-hour that you played of Sonic the Hedgehog when you were nine! Remember that game? It was the one with the rings. You enjoyed it, because you got to collect rings! Yay!!! But then you quit because you couldn't figure out how work up enough spin to break through that wall. Remember? I know, it was really tough, I know."Now, this post doesn't apply to me because I play and enjoy video games, and could even kick your ass in a few (Guitar Hero). But it does make me wonder when I overhear girls saying things that are blatantly untrue, always around a group of guys, that they think make them sound REALLY cool and 'different.' It's always a delicious treat when they're given the opportunity to display the talent they boasted about only to be revealed as a dirty liar. Some examples:
- I can drink you under the table! No seriously, I can totally handle my liquor.
- Omg I LOVE basketball/football/baseball/wrestling!! ESPN.com is my homepage. I have it on the 90-second reload.
- Other girls hate me. I don't know why...
- I'm not into drama.
- I never gossip!
- I don't care what people think about me/what I look like. I totally just grabbed these clothes from a heap on the floor and threw them on!
A male version is on the way. My favorite? "Seriously, I won't even try anything."
*(You're all wonderful. This post is all in good fun.)
