(no subject)
Life’s jumpin’ and jivin’ right now, except for medication. Things are looking up, short-term. Like tomorrow and the rest of the week are looking good but my senior year and college are… unreliable. I signed up for every writing related elective for next year to help give off some sort of appeal to colleges, but I doubt it’ll work. During my appointment with the high school guidance counselor I realized exactly how chancy my future must seem. I had no idea what classes I wanted so I signed up for mostly CP, which I think might come in handy if I decide to get my GED and become a bum. I also signed up for newspaper, which requires an interview. I lied a lot to sound good.
News lady: So, what’s your favorite part of the newspaper?
Me: (I don’t know, I’ve never read it all the way through) Uhmm, the uh, the articles. The one’s that happen…. The… the weekly, I mean, monthly ones, the recurring ones.
News lady: So, what do you hope to contribute to the newspaper if we pick you?
Me: (Nothing, I actually hope to take their name and attach it to my college resume) Well, I like to pretend I’m witty and funny… but sometimes I’m just stupid
News lady: Can you meet deadlines?
Me: (No way in Hell!) Yeah, I’m great with deadlines. I’m just dieing for more deadlines as it were.
If you don’t know me, then you also don’t know that people don’t like me. Most prefer the company of a tall glass of orange juice over me. And all the people on the newspaper staff just don’t get along with me for some reason or another. There was tension. Or maybe they just had work and were ignoring me. Except for one person who told me I was unfunny after I said something like “hello”.
I was absent one day and I have a feeling that all my parts in drama went to whatever Joe Somebody who was filling in for me. That’s how much people dislike my overall personality and my acting. The whiny drama kids hate me, that’s why I’m signing up for
drama 3. I’m horrible at acting, unless it’s acting like a sarcastic jackass who can never be serious.
I was asking people this week to read some of my writings and tell me what they thought. I was going to take these reviews and decide whether I should follow my dream or join the military. One person misunderstood a metaphor and consequently tore the paper up in front of me. She didn’t seem too attached to the plot as a whole, to say the least. This whole higher education thing is not going to work out.
