First… What’s in a THING?!
When you have a “thing” it usually has some grand story. Some epic fucking background. Something substantial that people just the that it’s your thing.
Then sometimes your “thing” is just an actual jackass thing you do when taking pictures.
Me sticking my tongue out has become a thing. It makes me comfortable in pictures otherwise I feel like I am looking like Sloth from The Goonies. See, when you try to make a nice face and smile for the picture you tend to want to look your best.
That moment is forever there digitally or in print… and the worst ones will end up on the internet as a mocking meme if you aren’t careful.
What if your five chins are showing? What if your eyes are crooked? What if your face looks exceptionally huge because your eyes vanish when you smile? Well, all of those worries are pure crap. I’d rather make a face and purposely always look like an ass making a face… instead of the ass that is trying to look pretty but actually looks like an ass.
That was an overuse of the word ass.
So, yeah… my thing is that I stick my tongue out in pictures. My friend Sugar Jones affectionately named my tongue Morris. It’s been requested that I make “the scrunch face” in pictures. I’ve even been told that people didn’t recognize me without my tongue sticking out!
It could be worse… I could be known for my overuse of the word vagina, buying crappy taxidermy and making people worship metal chickens. Actually, if I was known for those things it would make my “thing” a lot better. But, Jenny Lawson who writes The Bloggess has that covered.
The Point: Since many of you probably clicked on this because I mentioned Jenny the Bloggess!
