When it comes to dorkiness, I am no stranger. I've proven over my near 30 years of existence, that being dorky can never be fully outgrown. Here are a few supporting examples from my life:
- In first grade, I laughed and blew snot out my nose in front of the cutest boy in the class and tried to blame the faux pas on allergies... embarrassed dork.
- In the fourth grade I ran for Student Council Treasurer ....and lost to a boy named Byong who did not speak English very well...unpopular dork.
- In the sixth grade I ran for Student Council President and won but wore fluorescent leggings and let my mom give me a home perm that made my hair look like Tina Turner's...popular dork with no fashion sense.
- In the seventh grade I peed my pants at church camp during a three legged race, which means that my partner's leg got peed on too....dork with a bladder control problem.
- In the eighth grade I tried out for cheer and made it...but ran into the wall as I leaped off the stage...spirited dork.
- My senior year, I made the Homecoming Court and fell out of the trailer in my fancy blue sequined dress...royal dork.
- I was pregnant at both of my weddings (when I eloped and at my church wedding,) because I didn't know that breastfeeding is not a valid form of birth control...fertile dork.
- I get all excited when I find out that I'm nominated for awards like this one which you need to go and vote for right after reading this post....uber dork.
- I use phrases words like uber, shitballs , what-the-froglegs and blogosphere in my daily blog posts...verbally quirky blogaholic dork.
So now it is your turn... purge yourself of your deepest, darkest and dorkiest moments! Dig up those old pictures and stories. Post them in the comments section or email them to me for consideration in being crowned Queen (or King) of Dorks. The five finalists will be selected Sept 24th and voting will begin for the Ruler. Then, on the 26th, a winner will be announced and will win a custom shirt from Defiant Mom and a $25 gift card to Sephora!

The reenactment makes me REALLY want to vote!!
#1) When I was a senior in High School our cheerleading squads were asked to be in a fashion show modeling prom dresses for a local Formal Dress Shop. I was nervous & excited for my time to shine. I'm up next, start walking up the stage stairs, my foot gets caught in my dress and I fall up the steps making a complete fool of myself! I guess that makes me a "model dork"!
#2)*this one is a "three part" dork*
When I was 9 months pregnant with my 4th child, my sister (who is 13 yrs. younger then me) was living with us while going to college. One evening she asked me to play a Game Cube game with her & I obliged and sat down in our recliner in the reclined position. While playing this particular game in order to get my "guy" to go faster, I had a tendency to put my controller over my head (for whatever reason this worked for me...I guess I'm a "controller dork"(#1 of 3)). So while my hands are over my head to get my guy to win this game I find myself leaning back, waaay back - so far back that I flip myself and the recliner over..."rolling prego dork" (#2 of 3). Now I'm on the floor laughing hysterically & uncontrollably that I end up peeing my pants..."no bladder control dork" (#3 of 3). So I guess that would make me the..."Peein' prego, controller holdin, roller dork"!!!
ok dorky and embarrassing back when I went to hs which seems like decades ago, we had a swimming pool and required swimming classes and rrequired suits they provided...basically one size fits all, I got lucky and got one that was completely stretched out and had to tie in the back..well we go and have to do diving that day- first of all I am scared crapless of heights and panic hits then whack I hit the water and after the panic I realize where the heck is my suit I don't see it anywhere and umm, they are lined up along side the pool and in the pool- I hear laughing and people realize it is sucked in the drain- a girl ran and got me a fabu towel- yep one size don't cover crap towel ..i GOT THE TOWEL COVERING MOST AND TOOK A BOW, why because they were all clapping and I felt like I just put on a big show- boy did I feel like I was gonna have heart attack or panic attack- I ran to the locker room..people were cheering hoooting, but I was so embarrassed
BUT THE BIGGGEST
the next dork moment I had was when our family went on a cruise and I got picked to get hypnotized and stupid me went up and said sure not believeing- hey on cruise ships they tape and play back over and over and over and over during the week just so you know- entertainment in the room) Well the guy put me under and did alot of stuff, handed me imaginary money and told me to put it in a secret special place noone knows about and I stuck it in my pants- oh no and then he did soem stuff like saying you are in your dream car and someone cuts you off what do you do- first of all I roll down the window- dork me doesn't have a fancy car- I have hand windows and I do something evil then he does more and pulls another guy up on stage and says this person is having a baby help him- I am ripping open this guys legs yelling at him push and breath breath and he farts as I am pushing his legs- oh lord- That was a big dork and embarrassing moment of my life- I am woken up and all for the rest of the week look at me like she a wild and free woman- oh my- Good way to make friends but my kids said what a dork mom was- especially about the window!
OK SO I AM A DORK
I've emailed the pic.. it consists of a bad, 2 tone bowlcut 80's dew (that would be moi at 13) and a couple adorable cousins in matching dresses (that would be you and darling Janice).
Does it really get any worse? How did my Mom and your Gma let that HAPPEN?!? That had to be some form of abuse..
You have videos LOL they all show exactly why I am dorky
well, as the original video person, i think im dorkier then toni. In fact, it was me challenging her that got her to do videos...i even was in a fan video for JLO and featured on yahoo. IT does not get dorkier then THAT. Oh, and i am the biggest damn internet nerd you will ever meet.

hmm so many things have happened to me back in school- where to begin. One time in 7th grade science class we were learning the elements of the periodic table and it was a game where teacher goes around and asks what the symbol for different elements are, you get it rightu stay standing u get it wrong u sit down. well i was bragging that i knew them all and what not. Well i was on a roll, looking around there were the few "nerds" in that class still standing and me, The teacher gets to me and asks me what the symbol for Fluorine is-how hard can that be, well i froze up for a second and was like..."F...U" the whole class was laughing so hard, i didnt get what was so funny at first, them i felt my face flush, not only was i wrong cussed at the teacher, (The symbol was just F- i wont ever forget that answer!!)
Once in highschool, 9th grade, my friends and i were staying afer school for volleyball tryouts, when we were leaving we were walkin past the Varsity football team in the hallway(my brother was on the team so they knew i was his little sister) so some were saying hi, iwas all shy and whatnot then my friend stepped on the back of my shoe and i fell on my face!! How embarraessing, then one guy shouts to my brother, "arent u going to help ur sister!" yea i almost died that day, the next day a few of them came up to me and asked if i was okay...yea thats the kind of attention i wanted fromthe seniors on the football team, right?!
in grade 4, my mom made me wear this HIDEOUS black barney christmas sweater, with barneys face and hes wearing a santa hat and the little ball on the top hangs off the shirt, 4th grade, ya so embarressing. im going to ask my mom if she still has it hidden, so she can send me pic of it so i can post it lol.
If i can get some old pics i will post them too, i really want a sephora giftcard! ive never been there --yet!
Ok my most embrassing moment was in hs p.e. class and we had to swim that day. So I bring my cute 2 piece but girl had to wear t-shirts over of course. So what color t-shirt do I wear? White!! The dare devil in me back then decides to jump off of the diving board and swim across the pool. I get to the swallow end of the pool and get out and turn around. And guess what show I give the whole class...my top had went up when I dived in and now I had entered myself in a one girl wet t-shirt contest. Yeah everyone in the class got to see boobies that day!!
