Fugly is the new Pretty

I think we all know, at this point, how i handle extended periods of free-time. At the beginning, i form a plan. I decide what i WILL DO throughout the week to make my vacation worthwhile. I map out the days and what beneficial activity i'll do then. The second day, i throw that away and plan a plethora of social outings and go on a few of them. The third day i don't do anything. NOTHING. ALL DAY. Day 4 brings more outing with friends and me finally realizing i need to get on my list of things to do. I generally don't do it anyway... With Day 5 comes sleeping in VERY VERY late and finally starting the list. At this time, i begin mourning the vacation, because it's just like a regular weekend now. Interspersed throughout these days are times (about 2 hours in length) when i just veg on the internet. I watch half of the Brotherhood 2.0 archives, laugh it up with P0YKPAC and thecommunitychannel. And of course, who could forget icanhascheezburger.com or roflrazzi.com or failblog.org or pointlesssites.com. THEN, there's twitter and picnik and plinky and FACEBOOK! As you can see, the beloved internet plays a big part in my over-the-break activities*. One of these such sites, NEWLY DISCOVERED, is gofugyourself.
I love this site. I want to know the people who put it up. Such wit! Such a smarmy, snarky voice! Such horrible fashions! Such ABSOLUTE INSANE CELEBRITIES! Oooh, it's awesome.
Really, i love cattiness. You know those pillows** that say "If you have nothing good to say, come sit by me"? I fully believe in those pillows. I think one of the conditions of being catty though, is that you have to be smart. Just looking at some ugly quote-unquote "dress" and stating that it's ugly WILL NOT DO. You must, as the girls of GFY do, call it "the dress that looks like a giant sideways bow tie". Because, ISN'T IT TRUE?***
This site, other than for just obvious reasons, is not good for me. It makes me think it's okay to walk around being smarmy and catty and snarky, it makes me more inclined to laugh at crazy people, and i've learned that i can't look at it for too long. Because, after a while, i start thinking its OKAY. Like, of course "Posh Spice" went to dinner or some other probably upscale place looking like she was actually going to a furry convention. Does that surprise you? Or even WORSE, i'll start to want what they're wearing. And thinking, maybe, just MAYBE they actually know what they're doing... This most often happens with the wildest, craziest outfits. When i start looking at Katy Perry's dresses with not question, but wonderment and even *gulp* admiration, THEN i know it is time to un-fug and try to get farther on the list.

But i encourage you, dear reader! Go Fug Yourself!

*And perhaps plays a part in my not-getting-things-done activities...? Hmm, to ponder
**probably more than just pillows are embroidered with that...you can embroider pretty much anything these days.
***Yes.
