I am less weird (how much less is entirely debatable) now than when I was younger, so I don't feel weird anymore, but when you were the weird kid it never really goes away. <BR/><BR/>Karen, it's nice to *meet* you. I stopped by your blog this morning. My brother and sister in law are in your city. <BR/><BR/>Aim, I love you!<BR/><BR/>(((Barb))) I wrote this because of a little emailing we had done a few months ago. I have always gotten along with your sister in law. I think you've got a good idea about having TheDad do the elementary PTA stuff, especially if he's going to continue to guilt you over lunch duty. I think that men should do all of that stuff because they don't do the same kind of backstabby catty crap that women do. They do other political crap, but at least I don't have to get involved. ;)Amy Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645173524517798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11474308.post-20085120731291990162007-08-16T15:22:00.000-04:002007-08-16T15:22:00.000-04:00Sending a Big Giant Hug up the NJ Turnpike to you!...Sending a Big Giant Hug up the NJ Turnpike to you!<BR/>As you know, I am in the same boat down here. We can't afford to live in your zip code--how about you guys come down here and join our PTA and we can make our own little "crowd?" I have met some of your "In Crowd" moms (and am related to one) so I know the drill you are going through.<BR/>Meanwhile, here I sit trying to figure out if I can get TheDad to do the PTA thing at the grade school this year. I can handle the high school one, even though I call it the "Handbag Fashion Show." TheDad is quite oblivious to the politics involved in these groups. It could work.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11474308.post-68105638660749813492007-08-16T13:56:00.000-04:002007-08-16T13:56:00.000-04:00(I hate typos, sorry about that!)

Just be "you." Only "you" can be "you."<BR/><BR/>I forget what movie had the line that said "Just be you, unless you're an a$$----, in which case be somebody else!" ;-D Seriously, you don't need to be worried if people won't like you or not, most people get over the so-and-so has cooties stage by 6th grade. 7th grade if they're "slow." On your poll -- I think a lot of us were in the "lumpen middle!" A lot of times the so-called "popular kids" are trying so hard to impress each other by being all alike, they don't realize they come off as "shallow." Not that deep inside they may really be that way, but they're internalized to the other extreme, worried about what people think of them. Cuts both ways I suppose. Personally, I was always the "new kid." Being an "only" as well I had to figure out how to make at least allies if not friends fast! Not to many enemies, but I don't know of any kids who went through life not having at least one "Scott Farkus" to avoid. [See Christmas Story" if you don't get the reference!] <BR/><BR/>BTW, I note you live in or around Newark .. my favorite actor on planet earth comes from there, James Brennan.
