Have you ever gone out somewhere and seen a person who looks just legitimately happy? With all the things going on in life, they are able to smile, laugh and have a good time. Yep, that person is me. I like to think of myself as goofy. I am the kind of person who dances like no one is watching, even if everyone is watching, sings along to a song in the grocery store aisles, laughs too hard at the dumb jokes normal people chuckle at, and genuinely has a positive outlook on life. Girls who are goofy love completely different than those who aren't, and here is how.
1. No matter the situation, we can make it into a good time.
For instance, walking down the grocery store aisles can be probably the least exciting thing, unless you're goofy. Then you like to sing along to the music playing and dance with your shopping cart. Or going shopping can quickly turn into an episode of "What Not to Wear."
2. A girl with a goofy heart will always try to make you smile, always.
I work with kids throughout the year and my favorite things to ask them when they are crying because they bumped their shin is, "Oh no! Do we need to cut off your leg?" and it never fails to make them smile and giggle.
3. We're cheap dates.
Looking for a last minute date idea? Take us on a car ride and blast some music. Guaranteed to have a blast.
4. Goofy girls don't get embarrassed easily.
Singing, dancing, laughing and tripping. All things done all too often by girls who are too goofy for their own good. When I trip and fall, which I do way too often, all I can do is laugh and say, "Man, I wish someone was recording me!"
5. Get us around other goofy people and your cheeks will hurt from smiling and your stomach will ache from laughter.
My family is where, thankfully, I inherited every goofy trait. When we go out to dinner at a restaurant, hopefully that server knows how to handle crazy loud people, and hopefully everyone around doesn't mind explosive laughter and the occasional spray of water from our mouths.
6. Be ready for umpteen amounts of Snapchats.
Snapchat is by far my favorite form of social media. The filters take you from garden goddess to sideways singing blob in a matter of ten seconds. Recording yourself sneezing and then putting in slow motion is probably the funniest thing ever FYI.
7. Taking a goofy girl to bar – you already know.
Being goofy, you don't need alcohol to have fun, but occasionally we run into a drink or six. Karaoke on a Thursday? Of course. Knowing every single move to Silentó's "Watch Me" and killing it on the dance floor? Duh. Needless to say, we like to have fun and don't care what people think.
8. A goofy girl always knows how to have fun, but knows when the time is right.
Us girls who are goofy probably have the biggest hearts. All we want is to see everyone happy. When a sad situation comes along, I can guarantee we will be there in a heartbeat to listen and be a shoulder to cry on. Although we may be goofy 95 percent of the time, we have a heart of gold and only want the best for everyone.
Goofy girls are the best people to love because no matter what, you will love life. Being around someone who has such a positive outlook and can laugh in any situation is someone you want to marry. That person will be your best friend and every day you wake up, be prepared for a new adventure. So what are you waiting for? Go out and get your goofy on!
