Really? Where did that even come from? Is that how I look? Have mirrors been lying to me for 24 (yes... I had a birthday and decided to not blog about it since my pics were gross... maybe the mirrors were lying after all) years?

Luckily, Wikipedia is the only source close enough to complete truth to be under review for canonization. So, I went there to find out more about my new nickname. I have highlighted the words that meant the most to me.

Goombas, known as Kuribō (クリボー, Kuribō?) in Japanese, are depicted as brown mushroom-like (or chesnut) creatures with feet, with a bushy brow, and a pair of fangs sprouting from their lower jaw. They generally tackle, headbutt, or bite an enemy. In many of the games, they are usually quite easy to defeat, with a simple stomp they shall be squashed. The Goombas once lived in peace in the Mushroom Kingdom, but they betrayed their homeland to side with Bowser. Some Goombas act as friendly characters in the Paper Mario series, two even joining Mario on his journey. It is said in Super Paper Mario that Goombas have a long-standing fear of Koopa Troopas. Many variants of the Goomba have appeared throughout the years including Paragoombas (Patakuribō (パタクリボー, Patakuribō?)), Gloombas and Microgoombas (Mamekuribō (マメクリボー, Mamekuribō?)). Paragoombas are distinguished by their winged appearance, thus making them more versatile and mobile than typical Goombas. Gloombas are blue variants of the Goomba which live underground in recent Paper Mario games. Microgoombas are miniature, parasitic Goombas which latch themselves onto Mario, reducing his jumping ability. In Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Princess Peach, Paragoombas drop Microgoombas to attack Mario and Peach. Other types of Goombas have appeared throughout the Mario series, although these largely vary from game to game. Goombas made their first playable appearance in Mario Superstar Baseball, and again in Mario Super Sluggers, as a playable character.
In the 1989 television cartoon The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Goombas are loyal soldiers in King Koopa's army. They often appear in costumes related to the episode's theme such as zombies or pirates. They were included in the subsequent spin-offs The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario W' live-action film, where they were originally inhabitants of Dinohattan who opposed King Koopa's rule, and were devolved into large, reptilian monsters as punishment for this disloyalty.

Isn't that sweet? He thinks I'm loyal! and a friendly character! He says I see him through rose-colored glasses... but that can't be true. Everyone sees him how he is. He's just a sweetheart! I hope this new nickname sticks like the others have.
