Introduction

Hello, my name is Melody. I'm 13, and I'm a DUFF. I never really called myself that until now, but I'm glad there's actually a title. At first, it bothered the heck out of me. Why me? Why did I have to be the designated ugly, fat, friend? I was outraged, insulted, and just plain upset that I had a label like that.

But after a lot of crying, a lot of thinking, awesome friends and the influence of a certain movie, I'm proud of being a DUFF. This blog will be here for DUFFS to connect and share their stories in the comments. That is, if you want. The main thing I've come to realize as a DUFF is that it's all about perspective. DUFF is only a bad thing if you look at it that way. Personally, I like being a DUFF because I find it much more satisfying to surprise people with my awesomeness, when they think I'm going to be lame. When my awesomeness shows, there's no stopping this DUFF!

Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to the summary of this whole spiel. This blog will talk about and reveal all the things that a DUFF such as myself goes through on a daily basis. From epiphanies, to life lessons, to rants and everything in between. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not ashamed about being a DUFF. In fact, I'm proud of it! I'm not starting this thing looking for sympathy, or concern, or anything like that. I'm starting this because I want other DUFF's out there to know that there's nothing wrong with being a DUFF. Woo, now that that's all said and done, I have to bounce! Yes, I know this is a short post, but it's just the introduction! The posts soon to come will be longer, funnier, and hopefully way more inspiring!
