Lesson 43) "Losers Like Me"

First of all, I'd like to give a moment to Liz Taylor, who died yesterday morning. As Elton John said "We have just lost a Hollywood giant; more importantly, we have lost an incredible human being."


So... I'm sure that you've noticed what a fail I've been with my updating recently. I told you I would never do such again, and here I am. I guess I'm still learning, huh?


Today's lesson is brought to you by Glee (judge me all you want, I love that show) and a fellow F500, Erin. 
Glee is a teenage drama turned musical, so it's awesome. Recently they did a song 'written by the members of the Glee club' for Regionals called Losers Like Me. It's about people wanting to be -you guessed it- losers like them because "everyone you wanna be, well they started out like me!" This is pretty true, actually. Whether it's actors who started as the whimpy theatre kids, or Einstein who wasn't that great at class or making friends, the people we look up to didn't start out that wonderful. They were the normal kids, maybe not the losers of the losers- but not the ones everyone knows either.

I was sitting with Erin yesterday and I made some silly joke that really is only funny to me, probably something about wanting to be a dinosaur. She laughed and looked at me saying "I feel as if you say things like that way more often these days. You started out not saying it at all, then you just said it to us, and now you'll speak that way to anyone!"
Yeeeeeaaaaah. So maybe I shouldn't make these comments so frequently (who doesn't want to be a T-Rex, though?). My point is, I hadn't even realized this. In a lesson before about dancing in public I told you that I've become very (too much, perhaps) comfortable with who I am, and I'm not afraid to show it anymore.

These two things are going to be combined (like a DOUBLE lesson, so intense!). Now, we have losers who grow up to be awesome and a dinosaur girl who can't NOT but be herself. What can we get from that?
Anyone?
I'll just tell you.
WE ARE THE AWESOME PEOPLE OF TOMORROW. Isn't that such good news? Doesn't that get you super excited?? I can't wait to tell how this band geek became a star. You've come this far with me, so let's be honest- you're in that loser boat with me. This sounds like just a statement, but it's a lesson. We might as well sign up for those classes/degrees next semester that we want to take, rather than the ones our society tells us will make the most money. We might as well stomp up the stairs like a velociraptor because we'd embarrass ourselves tripping anyway. We can watch Glee and The Big Bang Theory with no shame because as 'Finn' said "Yeah, I'll just shake it off, I'll get you back when I'm your boss!"

Theme song of the day: Pink's "Raise Your Glass!"

Curl Girl, out!
