JUDGING ME

So I’ve already had a blog about judging people  So I thought I’d rotate the approach (I should rotate a lot more judging from the sunburn on the back half of my body. YEAH right behind the knees is an awesome place to be burned up) to how people judge me.

Now we all think (or like to) that nobody talks about us behind our back... Pah -lease! Just because we don't hear it and even if your the nicest person in the whole world, some people just aren't going to like you. I’ve heard many rumors about me. 61% aren’t true and the other 39% I’m very happy to claim.

On my little road trip the other day one of the boys we met asked my friend to describe what type of person/character each girl was in the group. My friend described me as the single one entertaining and rare. I was flattered and thought… Single, yep. Entertaining, oh wow I like that. I like to think I have a certain entertaining element to my personality! My third thought was whoa...I’m only recently single - okay single my whole life (YEAH I LOVE BEING SINGLE OMGAHHH ME AND MY GIRLFIES HAVE SO MUCH FUNNN AHHH IT’S THE BEST!! Haha jokes guys. I am not the over compensator – see blog 3).

Anyway… this conversation got me thinking what do people actually think of me? So this may be the most self absorbed blog ever but I cant help it, I’m intrigued. I’ve heard many names ease dropping or snooping to a certain degree but I wonder how many people actually hate me. I know there are a lot who find me annoying, actually I find me annoying! But who are those that go, 'ewwww you’re friends with that Rachel Metelmann girl… I heard she…' Is it you? No! You wouldn't read my blog and boost my views...all my sheepies are total hotties, can't be you guys.

So I’ve been called many things;

• rare (I have chickens on blog my background. Yes chickens. Point made?)
• entertaining
• cute
• annoying
• ‘I can only take you in small doses’ (direct quote)
• dumb
• silly
• blonde
• chubby
• funny

Some say disrespectful, I say funny. I'm sure he would of loved a pull in his day!

• fat
• cute - incapable of being sexy. When there's a dress up party I dress funny cos sexy doesn't work. E.g. 'DRESS AS SOMETHING STARTING WITH YOUR INITIAL' I went as a retired old lady. The grand kids where happy to see me on arrival.

Retired. Mistaken for their actual Grandma... I don't even like children

• random
• weird
• strapping - okay so I haven’t been called strapping but I think I could become accustomed to it
• thunder thighs and big ear lobed -I know your thinking why do those things deserve only one dot? Well it was said by the one bloke who mind you has giant fish lips, so he only gets a singular dot. [ily c-top]
• giggly
• slut
• pig-dog
• mean - wasn't happy with that one, I don’t think I’m mean but if you wanna get on my bad side go ahead motherfucker, haha jokes I'm a lover not a fighter.
• liar - NA AH! Girlfriend! Na ah! Not on. I don’t lie. I’m honest. Maybe even to the point it’s a downfall. So yes that skirt does make you look fat.

….and there have been a lot too inappropriate to discuss (even with the content warning) and depending on the culprit perhaps a little shattering and or funny!

I’m happy to cop it on the chin, I find the bad far easier and less embarrassing to take (with a few exceptions). Tell me my blogs great, do it. Yes I can take that on the chin, I would even encourage you to refer me to your people as that. Introductions can start as this... This is my friend Rachel Metelmann, the world famous (and or marvelous) blogger.

Now many people get down about criticism. I can, but most of the time not. I think it’s cos I get along with myself really good so if I get  bad criticism I can hang out with myself in Arnold until I love myself again and am ready to come out of hibernation. OR I use bad criticism to benefit me. Gives me an incentive to be even more annoying. Not that I need encouraging. I also think it helps that I am a bit detached  and unemotional about things like that however if you want to see me cry, watch Forest Gump with me (the death of Mamma, Jenny and Bubba was all too much).

There’s what people say behind your back and then there what’s said to your face. I love the backhanded compliment. About 3 yrs ago I got, ‘OMG Rach I didn’t recognize you, you’ve lost so much weight.’ Flattering but was I really so obese when I was 15? Haha.

Or the old, ‘I like your hair blonde but I like it more now.’ So you don’t like it blonde. You don’t need to justify it. You should take your mother’s advice and if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.

My favourite thing I’ve ever been called; friendly. I like making new friends.  I enjoy being a part of many groups – I’m that ‘fill-a-friend’ girl. A fill-a-friend girl is the girl a group calls up when somebody’s dropped out of the plans or they need a larger crowd (rent-a-crowd type thing). This is perfect for me. All that is required is for me to attend, organizing nothing….Cos I’m the last minute call up! Yet I probably have the funnest time of all because spontaneity is exciting and fun.

E.g. Hey Rach what are you doing Wednesday? Oh nothing why? Come to Noose for a week! Okay cya Wednesday (this actually happened and this was one amazing week).

The best times are those unplanned, spontaneous times.  5.00pm what are you doing tonight  plans? I say more of them thanks...not hinting for an invite now I'm unemployed or anything! 

YOUR THE BEST, RACHI METS xx
