Goal

My goal is to stop being so rude with my burps!

So most of you who know me know that I possess a very special talent. This special talent, being my amazing belching capacities, is something I always pride myself on. As eloquent and mind-blowing as my burps may be, I have decided that I must learn some manners around this natural gift. The loud burps that erupt from my mouth can be at times startling. Sometimes my burping is so ridiculously loud that it interrupts what folks are doing, especially in the office. Many of my friends and all my family have endured enough. I have definitely embarrassed those who I love with the sounds that have come out of my mouth. Although most people are quite jealous of my charismatic talent, (I mean I'm pretty jealous of myself) I am going to work on excusing myself and keeping my burps to the most inaudible sound. I know it is humanly impossible to stop burping all at once, especially since I have yet to go see a doctor about it, however, if someone hears me burping loud, without making any effort to be considerate about my surroundings, he/she will have to hold me accountable. I have decided on 3 horrific punishments for those folks who hear me let one out loud. That person can choose one, and only one. These punishments are as followed:

1. EAT 3 LEAVES OF CILANTRO. (I HATE CILANTRO, and yes, it is a genetic thing.) But for the mean person who chooses this for me, they will get to see me suffer like I've never suffered before. I won't be able to guarantee that my gag reflexes won't be in full effect, but if that's your sort of thing, well than by all means, choose this punishment.

2. CURLY BANGS. I must go to work for a day without straightening my bangs. We all know how much I love to look like a poodle. And, yes, I will be complaining the WHOLE day.

3. NO BLING FOR A DAY. NO EARRINGS, NO RINGS, NO NECKLACES, NO GOLD! God help me.

And no matter what punishment is chosen, I will apologize with a curtsey after every single burp.

These punishments will be documented for your enjoyment, and for my torture.

Burping may not be ladylike, but it's Brenda-like. Here's to several weeks of hell!

I chose this goal because

I am choosing this goal because it is time that I stop the insanity! Everyone who knows me, knows that this is going to be real hard. It may not seem like a big deal to others, but just in writing this I have already burped twice, real loud too. This is going to be quite the challenge.

I'm helping because

I am participating in this campaign because I LOVE ATC! I am willing to eat cilantro, not straighten my bangs, wear no bling because the folks we work with are amazing and deserve the best. ATC provides unconditional support to so many unstable/homeless youth. ATC is one of a kind and so are the people we work with.
