I am very good at talking to strangers, actually. It's just that they usually don't like me very much, unless they're kindly old people or really little kids. I get along with old people really well.

College sucked for me. I swear I was the only poor kid in a J-crew catalogue. There wasnt a single person on campus that was a geek, just a bunch of yuppie scum kids.

My room mate's parents were rich and owned a golf course... yet somehow she was getting more financial aid than me (not scholarships... govt aid!)

She had the gall to say to me when I moved in "You dont have a lot of clothes, can I have your closet.." She had trashbags full of clothing stuffed into her closet. I owned like 4 pairs of jeans and maybe a dozen t-shirts...

Ugh!

I don't live on campus or anything, though. I live in an apartment building, so it's nice.

I don't go to a yuppie school, either. You don't get too many wasps at Catholic colleges.

Yeah, I suck at talking to people. Didn't help that all anybody ever wanted to talk about was college sports, which I really don't care about. My roommates were nice enough, although sometimes they got really annoying.

Wasps? As in WASPs?

There's plenty here in the boonies of Mississippi. None of whom share my interests, so...

I'm glad that nobody cares about the teams here.

God, in high school, it was all "school spirit" and stuff, and the principal actually told us that it was our "duty" to go to the homecoming game in a solemn super serious way and it made me want to punch somebody.

I always snuck a book into assemblies.

My school has a lot of black-wearing girls and nice girls, not wasps. Though, most of the guys I can talk to during the day wanna talk about the school's sports, which I cannot hope to understand or emphasize about.

Actually, I have a spirit week soon. The only activity I'm even mildly interested in is Purple Friday, so I can go full Twilight/Dusk Shine. I kinda want one of those cutie mark polos they have on We Love Fine.

In my high school someone ran an article in the paper calling Pep rallys something along the lines of Pagan rituals.

The Football jock principal didnt like that too much

Same way here, condo. It's all about the football teams. The school teams, the college teams, the national teams, etc.

And the we had to play their fucking Sousa rip-off fight song over and over and over. They treated the marching band like we were their private property.

And those d-bags in the student section of the stands never stayed to watch our halftime show.

School spirit is pretty low at my school. Everyone complains about the sports teams (don't care), everyone complains about uniforms (don't care), a mostly unanimous dislike of the principal (still don't care), and yeah.

I suppose it doesn't help I don't particularly care about any of this either. Indifference is a wonderful thing.

I mean, there are still plenty of douchebags around, but they're benign.

Mostly, they just have stupid facial hair and pretend to be smarter than everyone.

My high school's school spirit was terrible, despite the administration's best efforts. They kept holding pep rallies and stuff despite the fact that pretty much every student who wasn't an athlete just didn't care. Although it got us out of class, which was cool, I guess.

Our principal was kind of George W. Bush-ish. He meant well, but half the time he looked like he had no clue what he was doing. Like once he gave this big long speech about how there were "traffic jams" in the hallways because people were "double-parking" their backpacks in the most lame metaphor ever. After class some of my friends and I printed out a bunch of "No double parking" signs and hung them around during study hall. The fact that the student body thought they were real is a good indicator of what the principal was like.

The douchebags around here just make stupid jokes and talk about getting drunk all the time. I don't socialize with them.

I promise you all it will be better some day. I made this my theme song at the beginning of the school year.

I just want to graduate already, and make an attempt at being self-sufficient :/

Oh, I know it'll get better, condo. By the end of May of next year, I'll graduate from high school, go to a college somewhere out of state and be on my merry way.

That's a good goal to have.

Man, listening to that song now. It always makes me feel better.

It's just the waiting that's killing me.

Night, guys!

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

See ya around, Brocolli.

Night.

Night, DB.

Man, I don't wanna waste my life.

My mom is always like, you're young, you should have friends, you should do something.

She's always on my case about how I don't wear makeup or anything, and I'm like, you know it doesn't make that much of a difference, right? Like, I could dress nice or something, and that would be nice, but I would still look the same, and people wouldn't like me any more than they already don't.
