• Ten Trends I Refuse To Follow

  Everyone has that one little thing that the crowd does that they don't want to do. Okay, maybe not everyone, because then there wouldn't be a crowd, really. 

  Almost everybody has their little guilty pleasure that a lot of people side with, but not me.  I refuse to be a part of the dork side. Without further delay, here are the top ten trends that everyone else seems to follow...that I won't.

   

  10. World of Warcraft

  There are actually a number of reasons I don't play WoW, one being that I might get so addicted, I'd forget I have bowel functions and just have to start buying adult diapers. Seriously, NOTHING IS THAT IMPORTANT.

   

  9. Fantasy chain emails/Myspace bulletins

  I call them "fantasy emails/bulletins" because they always read, "pass dis on and ur crush will call u up an make owt wit chew 2niiiiiiight!" That's not exactly fantasy for me, since I've already kissed my crush (more than once, oh yeah), but maybe those emails are meant for those addicted to World of Warcraft. Hmm.

   

  8. Harry Potter

  Okay, most of you aren't going to side with me on this one, but I'm not a Potterhead. I haven't read the books, haven't watched the movies, and don't care to. It's just not my thing. (Maybe I haven't watched/read it yet because I'm scared I might like it and become a nerd). Care to change my mind?

   

  7. FML

  So, from what I've heard, FML is abbreviation for "F*** My Lobster*, which sounds quite disturbi--

  ha, oh wait. It means "Fudge My Life". I'm really not much of a chocolate person, though.

   

  6. High School Musical

  Okay, now this is just stupid. Seriously, I'm homeschooled, and I can tell you that high school, no matter where you learn, isn't full of people dancing and flipping through the halls and singing to each other until they fall in love, and then something bad happens and they hate each other, but only until they realize they were totally made for each other, because he's a good singer and she's hot, so they live happily ever after until the sequel. I watched the first one for about ten minutes one time, and I was laughing so hard, everyone in the room thought I was having a seizure. True story.

   

  5. The Jonas Brothers

  If the music they played made sense, I might like it. If they played actual rock music (since they claim to be a rock band), I might give them a listen. If they didn't wear skinny jeans and look like girls, I'd probably be singing along.

  I don't want to have to buy a decrypter to listen to music. Therefore, I don't listen to the Jonas Brothers.

   

  4. Miley Cyrus

  Do I really need to elaborate?

   

  3. Skinny jeans

  

   

  Skinny jeans + men = fail. Your mancard must be destroyed now. You just broke like the #1 man law.

   

  2. Twitter 

  I actually have multiple reasons for not joining Twitter, one being that I can't possibly sum up pieces of my life in 140 characters, unless I need to say something like, "I ran out of toilet paper! LOL!" Two,  I don't want to hear about the lives of others, either. I'm a rather quiet, keep-to-myself type person.

  And finally, three, I'm not going to "follow" someone on Twitter, or likewise, have such done with me. It'd make me feel too important, and "following" someone on Twitter would make me feel like I'm referring to a religious figure. Or something.

   

  1. Twilight

  Here's the number one reason men don't like Twilight: Robert Pattinson is in it, and he's basically portrayed as like the perfect boyfriend like omg lol. Guys hate stuff like that, the same way girls hate Jessica Simpson, Megan Fox, and Paris Hilton. Okay, I do know guys who like it, but they're all gay. "Nick, you should totally watch Twilight." "Dude...are you gay?" "Yeah."

  But me, no. I'm different. I just don't like it because it's stupid and corny, somehow both at once. He sparkles? Wow, cool.

  There you have it. Maybe not the worst trends of all time, but they're definitely up there on the list.

  What about you? What trend(s) do you refuse to follow?
