Why do you think people make fun of me so much? I don't know if anyone realizes it, but you all are pretty much ruthless most of the time (it's only ruthless because some of it's true) about how I'm in SIFE and we're a "geek club" about me writing boring stuff on my Blog about me talking about basketball and Halo about my mother's faults about my "obsession" with Marilyn Monroe...etc. Well that was mainly just the list of "things I think about" according to Philip and Shannon, but ya'll do keep it up incessantly. Not a day goes by when I am being made fun of for being involved with SIFE. So why is that, I wonder. Philip even started "SAFE" simply because its a way to make fun of / satirize SIFE. There's no arguing with that. It's obviously true and to deny it would be lying.
My theory is three-fold:
1) I talk about the things I like / do
2) I put up with it by not defending myself, but laughing it off
So what do I do with this? Well, nothing probably, because let's face it, I like the attention.
Anyway, probably nothing most of the time. Sometimes I defend myself. Sometimes I make fun back (i.e.: it sure was fun when I made a comment about Shannon's family owning 30 cars* and her face immediately turning into a brief frown of anger before she was forced to laugh it off because that would be a similar way of me making fun of her as her making fun of me for loving SIFE - similar because both are true). *obviously 30 is an exaggeration (hince joking / making fun) however, the Sharps do have more than 3 cars, which is the # of people in family - thus a lot.
So I guess make fun of me at will. Our group dynamics would certainly have to change if I suddently took offense, and I like our group just the way it is.
Love,
Berg

well buddy thats one of the many reasons we love you :).
Also note that we make fun of Lisa for never doing anything and always being negative.
We make fun of trent for having chest hair and being a PE Major.
We tease Josh about always doing homework and hanging out with Kerri.
We tease jason about Wrestling and not being engaged yet.
I've realized that our entire circle teases each other, some do a bit more teasing, some do a bit more being teased. It can change if you want it to, but I don't know what that would be like. I would be rather boring if I wasn't making fun of everything.
Teasing is a form of admiration! Perhaps all your friends admire what you do, Andrew! :-)
