I choose to laugh at myself thank you very much

I was talking with a friend last night (a fellow blogger by trade) and we were discussing people's voices (not the audible part) and their reasons for blogging. Some people approach this new form of mass media because they have a plan, a mission.

I am not one of those people.

Kpinion does not exist to take over the world (at least that is what you have been led to believe). Nor does it exist to force some sort of revolution. Nope. People, my reasoning is fairly pure. I blog because I like it. I write because it is something that I enjoy. The things I post are not meant to move you in any one direction, to change your entire view of life, or even to entertain you, because I don't write for you. I write whatever weighs on my heart or swims in my mind. I write for me. I just choose to put it out there for the entire world to read along with.

Ok and now that the public service announcement has ceased, I must chronicle a most hilarious moment for me yesterday.

As I sat at lunch with some fellow workers, we began to talk about the phrase "just so you know". I, for one, use this phrase quite frequently. It might be my "signature phrase". I often laugh that this phrase has a bit of sarcastic wit with it on every usage. "Just so you know, I already did that." "Just so you know, Bob was talking about you yesterday." The phrase has bite to it though covered in the covering of a informative and kind phrase. And yes I did discuss this with my co-workers (I'm a bit of a nut you see).

In the middle of this conversation, our vice principal mentioned that some people use the phrase "For you FYI". It took me a second but the hilarity of that phrase stuck me so much that I just started giggling. My mind raced with thoughts that whoever uses that is so funny and yet a little sad because they are saying "for your for your information".

In the midst of my laughter, my VP looked at me with a grin and said, "Katie you say that." Oh the uproarious laughter that occurred on my part at that moment. Here I was laughing and making fun of the poor soul who misspoke and IT WAS ME. Yes, this only made it even more hilarious on my part. And then my VP commented, "but it makes you ghetto fabulous, you know you can rap it" and he proceeded to rap "for your for your information" for my listening pleasure.

My response to him was of course "I am going to have to blog about this." He smiled and asked what his moniker was on my blog. Without missing a beat I said "My Vice Principal who is a year younger than me." He smiled and said that he liked the focus placed on his youth in comparison to my grand old age. (Yes, my secondary vice principal is a year younger than me, smarter than me (I can admit that), and makes me laugh on a daily basis. As the two youngins of our administration team we act like brother and sister for the most part).

So this is what I choose to share with you dear internet. Misspeaking, humor, and a little slice of the pie that is called humble that I eat on a daily basis with much laughter and smiles. Stay tuned, because you never know what I will post next. Will it be a deep thought provoking delve into the inner workings of my mind, with it be an emotional roller coaster ride of free form thought, will it be another story of my mishaps (they occur in great frequency so there is always material in that category). I don't know because there is no game plan, no ulterior motive. What you see is what you get, although figuring out what you are seeing may take a while.
