Besides, my reputation's on the line

[_missing_pieces]

So today, the ides of March in the year two-thousand and six, is my seventeenth birthday and how did I spend my morning? Crying because of a certain chem teacher. Okay fine it was about fifteen minutes, but it still sucked really badly and ruined my day. Seventeen really isn't a big deal and I definitely felt like that today. I mean sure my friends are all amazing and they made me feel so special, even people whom I'm not friends with, and sure I was joking around about it all sarcastically but truthfully it really did make me smile when Chad and Edgar said happy birthday to me and asked how old I was. It felt nice. So thanks guys for saving my day from complete suckage. you all rule.

we can fake it for the airwaves
force our smiles maybe half dead
from comparing myself to everyone else around me.
