Well, it has been a while since I have updated so now would be a good time, right? I guess the reason I haven't posted anything recently is because there really hasn't been anything funny... or even a little funny. There's just been a lot of really annoying drama and while I was thinking about it the other day I realized it all boiled down to one thing: popularity. At first I wasn't sure what I would write about since all of the drama is really personal but then I thought about it and there are two main reasons why I don't give a what. First, this is the internet... 'nuff said. Second, no one reads this, I will be totally honest in saying that. I think my sister reads it (only when I tell her to and even then there isn't a high chance). So anyway, popularity.

You know that really annoying song in Wicked called "popular"? Well that pretty much sums up high school. It gets a little absurd sometimes to see how worried people become when they think they are losing friends, and most of the times it's because they were conceited little kids. I have a suggestion for them: stop worrying about the number of friends and how many parties you were personally invited to in one night and calm the fuck down. Now, you might be thinking, wow this kid is really bitter about not having a social life. However, I am completely fine with it, in fact I dislike 90% of everyone I meet and when I do go out I usually just end up getting annoyed and leaving before someone can vomit on me. I am essentially like an old person: I don't like loud noises, flashing lights freak me out, and I am easily startled. That alone should show you that I am not the type for a party. Typically, one can judge how "popular" they are by what they do on Friday and Saturday nights. If you are going out to a party, congrats, you're one of two things: "fucking dope" (that just means awesome) or really rich and can bring all the icehouse someone can drink on an empty stomach... or some combination of both. The thought and effort that goes into one of these keggers is remarkable. While most would deny it there really is a lot of care put into a party. I promise, I know- not because I throw them (my mother would slay me) but because I used to party quite a bit. I am going to throw this out there now, I am not going to pretend like I am too cool for school because at one point I really wanted to be well known and liked, who hasn't wanted that? But what I am saying is that the petty situations are infuriating if you have passed grammar school. One thing that really caught my attention was a recent bet between two guys. They were going to go to the same party as a girl that is usually out and they were going to see who could get with her first. Seriously? I can understand being a horny teenage boy but think about the girl and how humiliating that must be. While she is the type of person that may be flattered by something like that, have some decency and forget about it. If that is what makes you popular than I am going the old fashioned way and just be nice to people. Besides, I usually want to punch most of the people I know.
