For instance, it is not funny to me when you:
-make fun of my accent every time I speak Spanish to you and tell me I will always sound like a gringa. No duh. I am a gringa. I am trying here.
-make fun of me for wearing an Ecua futbol jersey that is blue instead of yellow. Seriously? I'm sorry I didn't want to buy a neon yellow shirt and stick out even more than I already do, and besides, I literally know nothing about futbol. I got the jersey cause I liked it. That's all. I'm a poser ok? And as a poser, I prefer the blue jersey to the yellow. Get over it.
-constantly speak English to me just to show off and show me that you can, when I am clearly trying to learn/practice Spanish...a language I haven't mastered yet. Guess that makes me dumber than you. Congratulations. Then again, I've only been here 6 weeks, and you lived in the states how long? A year and a half. Yea.
-constantly brag. I swear, if opposites attract, I must be the most humble person in the world, because I seem to attract the most arrogant people; especially boys. Seriously dude, get some humility--it's far more attractive.
-look at me every time I sniffle or cough and pat me on the back with a look that says, "pobrecita." Ugh. I detest pity, and I'm more annoyed with the fact that you look at me every time I sniffle than you are that I keep sniffling.
-speak in a voice louder than everyone else's to make sure your opinion is heard and constantly interrupt people.
Sorry that was kind of a rant. Do you ever just feel like some people get under your skin? But everyone is different and has different types of humor and I'm not going to click with everyone, and that's ok. I'm sure there are a bajillion people out there who don't appreciate my sense of humor either.
Speaking of, here's my favorite Spanish joke. (stole it from Alex, I can't take credit)
Que dijo un iguana al otro iguana?
Somos igualitos!
(What did one iguana say to the other? We're the same! Yea...its not funny in English. sorryboutit dawg.)
