I haven't posted in two months because I never have time and no one in my family really does it anymore and that was the whole reason I started my blog over two years ago. But I thought I'd throw in another post for the heck of it since I woke up at 8:30 this morning because I couldn't sleep. I never do that. And I don't have work for another two hours and I have nothing better to do.
So I started high school two weeks ago. And boy is it just magical. It's nice to be the youngest again, I was sick of being the oldest with a bunch of what seemed like little kids running through the halls and screaming and having enchiladas stuck in their braces and gasping and giving people dirty looks if they dare to say the "d-word," heaven forbid. So it is nice to finally have older people. But, they are still just as annoying.
All of them say that sophomores are annoying and stupid, yet have they taken a look at themselves? In a way, most of them are still just as stupid and annoying as the junior high kids, except they've learned how to dress, they can drive, they do drugs, they swear, and they make out in the middle of the hall. I think they boys are show-offs who do the stupidest stuff just to get a couple of laughs or a look from the cute girl. Girls always try to play around with the boys, squealing and stealing their backpack and then run away, laughing hysterically, hoping that all of the boys think that they are so cute and will ask them to homecoming. Really, it's kind of ridiculous. And then in the parking lot, they all drive like maniacs trying to impress their friends as they speed right past you as you're trying to back out and cut people off and drive 50 miles over the speed bumps because they're too cool for them or not ruining their tire's allignment. I am so impressed, I bow down to you oh so amazing daring drivers. I know my place now.
In my first period class, I have auto tech. There are 8 girls and 30 guys, and most of them think that they are so cool because they already know how to change a tire or change their oil. How can I possibly compete with them? And then the stupid boys in the back feel they need to have attention so they constantly throw out witty remarks in the hopes that we will all fall down laughing, while we all just roll our eyes as the teacher says something to totally diss them which makes us laugh. And then they asked the teacher if he ever did any drugs. He said yes, when he was young and stupid he did marijuana. Then all of the boys in the back said, "you're so lame! you only did marijuana!" No wonder they're so stupid, they're losing all of their brain cells trying to be cool by doing stupid, pointless drugs that will mess them up just so that they can be cool. Apparently marijuana isn't enough to be cool, but perhaps if you did a bit of meth and heroin, then you can possibly meet their "cool" standard. I'll be sure to take notes for if I ever want to go so low in the hopes of having stoners for friends (I do have a couple stoner friends, and they are indeed nice people. Some of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're bad people.).
The dress code at Viewmont isn't very strict, even though they tell you it is, so a lot of the girls have to dress like what I call "Lagoon girls" - girls who dress like sluts pretty much in the hopes of catching a couple of guy's eyes. Because that's all a guy wants isn't it, a girl who will dress slutty for them and then they've got the prize girl.
People also feel that others won't like them unless they use three different swear words in each sentence. It's probably because they've lost all of their brain cells from so many drugs that they can't think of any other possible words. I'll admit I sometimes swear, usually just under my breath though or when I'm super duper ultra angry. Everyone does it. But I don't feel the need to throw it into conversation for the heck of it or so that I'll impress the people I'm talking to because I actually said the word. I can just see my coolness meter going way up from that.
Another thing, is that people feel they need to display their love to the world, to prove that they are cool because they've got a hot person playing tonsel-hockey with them in the middle of the hall when you're trying to get to class. Seriously, get a room. No one wants to see that. Or when people just stand there and hug for a century. Let's move on people, I swear you'll see eachother after next class, can you handle a whole hour and twenty minutes apart? It's almost impossible to live that long without seeing each other, how do they sleep?? They have tough lives. I could care less when people give each other a quick hug or peck, that's cool I don't care. At least they make it brief yet they can still let each other know how much they love each other without overdoing it.
I think a lot of girls are ridiculous and liars when it comes to popularity. If you ask a girl to write or tell about herself, she'll say that she loves her best friends and would do anything for them. They love to have fun and goof around and hang all the time. They like to be super crazy and not care what other people think of them because they're just having fun, and that she's just your ordinarly girl trying to have fun in life because, hey it's short. She likes to just do her thing and not care about other people because she's herself no matter what. If all of those girls were stranded in a desert and were offered a bottle of water or instant popularity, at least half would turn down the water. They just say they don't care what other people think in the hopes that other people won't care, or will respect her, or will think she's cool. I can only name a couple people who actually don't care about other people. And those are some of the coolest people I know. And I'm not saying I'm some perfect girl who doesn't think that way. I do care what other people think, and sometimes I am a little inclined to show off. But I don't do it for popularity, I do it for friends. I don't care if I'm in the popular crowd at school or not. A lot of the people in that group are so sure of their own popularity and coolness that they are so annoying and exhausting to be around. I just want a lot of friends that I can have fun with and do crazy stuff with, I don't want to be part of that crowd. So when I'm offered the bottled water or popularity, I would probably take the water. But no promises, I'll have to see when I'm faced with that situation. If it was bottled water or a big, fun group of friends, I would happily turn down the water. Because I don't necessarily care about how popular I am and how many people know me, it's about how many fun friends I can have and that we like to be around each other, which I guess, is it's own kind of popularity.
Last thing I have an issue with, and I'll be brief, are girls shoes. I'd just like to say that the "Jesus shoes" and the shoes that are boots on the top but flip-flops on the bottom, are so ugly and hideous that I wonder why any girl in her right mind would wear them. The "Jesus shoes" aren't as bad as the "boot-flops" though. And the funny thing is, all of the popular girls wear them. Yuck.
Anyway, that's high school for you.
