I am warning you right now:
I am pissed and ranting like there is no tomorrow. I apologize in advance if I offend you.
So...the day started out well, but has turned over and fallen flat on its face.
Obama won. Doctor went well; I have no abscess. WOO. No Spanish today. We kind of sort of got shit done in GSA. J-ism wasn't too bad and Katie didn't annoy me too much (except for when she was shopping online after we were specifically told NOT TO DO THAT OMG but hey, when did the rules ever apply to her?)
Math sucks. English was good. Bus ride was good.
Mom bitched at me when I got home because the doctor told me this morning that it would be a good idea to change my toothbrush. She screeched that she just GOT me this toothbrush so I should microwave it in a cup of water.
Uh.
First, I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO GET STREP THROAT, KAYTHANKS. Second, MY TOOTHBRUSH IS FUCKING PLASTIC. IT WILL MELT IN THE MICROWAVE.
Then, she got a letter from Ms. Bertola about how I have 3 incompletes and I won't graduate unless they're made into passing grades. I'm fucking dropping Spanish, I'm making up my gov't stuff tomorrow, and I gave Mr. Bicknell my math shit but he hasn't counted it yet for reasons that I don't know.
I mean, is it bad that I'm so fucking frustrated with this grade shit that I'm crying? I've never made below 90% in Spanish before, and I hate my class this year with a passion. I would have gotten caught up earlier in government but I've been out sick since last Wednesday. My math stuff has been in for over a week now, so I don't know what the hell's going on there.
Trust me, I would rather gnaw off my own foot than stay in high school another year. I am SICK of constantly being around IDIOTS and taking retarded classes that I'm never going to use again. (Yes, Math Analysis/pre-calculus, I'm looking at you!) I'm done with being taught to the test and being placed in higher courses so that the school looks good, not because anyone actually wants me to remember information for long periods of time.
Not to mention, I'm through with pep rallies and the god-like worship of the football team and the constant ignorance of the arts and being forced to listen to the million kids in the IS lab with 4.8 GPAs bitching about how they won't get into college because they don't have enough extracurricular activities. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ANYMORE.
Most people bitch to me about how we have so many rednecks at our school. I'm sick of the general population, redneck or not. Everyone just seems so bloody stupid.
And, of course, even though they all seem like they should have been drowned at birth, they're all going to graduate on June 6 and I'm in danger of being kept on for another year because my teachers won't grade my work!
Shit, they don't even respond to me when I ask for makeup work from the days that I've missed! The only one who sent me anything was my chemistry teacher, and Mr. Bares told me he got my email but didn't get a chance to write back. Sra. Johnson just told me to come see her later, Leggitt asked me in gov't where I'd been, and I haven't a clue what's gone on with my math teacher. He doesn't even greet me anymore when I come to class.
I'm trying really, really hard not to set my math book on fire or anything but what the fuck do I do? Do I harass him until he helps me out, do I try to pry info out of the other kids in the class (even though they don't know what the fuck we're doing), or do I start running to another math teacher?
Or do I change my diploma and throw away the work I've done since seventh grade so that I'll walk on June 6?
So...that being said, I wish I could see the dumb shit my ex has been spreading across Facebook about abortion being wrong and how Obama is "sick." I deleted him and his little posse since all of them stopped fucking talking to me and I never see any of them anymore.
And what the fuck is up with California banning gay marriage?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!
I mean, what's next? 60-year-olds can't marry 30-year-olds? Blind people can't marry? Deaf people are denied marriage rights? Interracial matches will be illegal once more?
What the hell is it going to take to make people understand that gays are just PEOPLE?! They don't choose it anymore than someone picks their age or race or whether they can see or hear! What the hell makes John and Jane any more entitled to a marriage license than Chuck and Steve or Susie and Pam?
WHY THE HELL DO THEY HAVE TO LOSE THESE RIGHTS?
Oh, and on the abortion front for a certain former flame of mine, I think it's an awful act but some women really fucking need it to happen, you know? Not everyone can afford to raise an unplanned baby, and while you can sit there and say, "Oh, well, they shouldn't have been screwing around, anyway," it's not going to stop people from having sex with one another. (Besides, it's not like married women don't have unplanned pregnancies or anything. I mean, shit happens!) Plus, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH NATURAL RESOURCES TO SUSTAIN ADDITIONAL HUMAN LIFE ON THIS PLANET. Anyone in one of the famished countries that doesn't have access to birth control, food, or clean water could tell you that one, jackass. Just because you're wrapped up nice and warmly in this great big country doesn't mean the rest of mankind is so lucky.
Oh, and you think even raped women should keep their babies? Tell me, sir, if someone violated your rights in a way you can't even imagine and dropped a baby in your lap for you to take care of for the next eighteen years, what the hell would you do? Put the poor thing up for adoption so he or she can live out the rest of their life in foster care because there aren't enough goddamn loving homes to take these kids?
And hey, you know, there are millions of gay couples that would love to raise a family but it's not like they have the legal rights of a married couple to adopt children.
But what do I know, right? I'm just an underage godless lettuce-eating liberal who's practically failing three classes...
rant,
sickness,
graduation,
stupid people,
