So, in between working on yet another video today (already uploaded two this week) and reading fauxraadio's most recent rant, I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine from school today. I'm not going to call her out in case by some chance she finds my journal (it's no one on my friend's list, for all of you who are reading this and are on the verge of shitting themselves). So, for the sake of giving her a name, we shall refer to her as ...Beth-Ann. From the cingular commercial :). Anyways, I was talking to Beth-Ann on MSN, and it started out as any normal conversation would. Oh, for the record, Beth-Ann's been hanging out with me for the past 3 days because her boyfriend has recently started his I.B. exams (all you need to know about I.B. is that it's for extremely nerdy people who can afford to spend 2/3 of their high school lives studying) and she seems to have no one else to hang out with at lunch. Boo hoo.
So anyways, we were talking and I'm guessing she was bored of our conversation because she said, "Only 1 more month... *sigh*". What she means is that in one more month her boyfriend will be done his exams. Anyways, she's been getting on my nerves lately, as all clingy high school couples do, when I said, "You're being really over dramatic, you know that? It's only been 3 days. If you miss him so much, why don't you just hang out with him or call him after school when he's done his exams?". And this is what really grinds my gears - her response was "You wouldn't understand, you don't have a significant other!".
Okay, where do I begin? First of all, no need to sound like a smart-fuck. The term is boyfriend. Secondly, I choose to remain single. Here's why: I'm an egocentric self-centered bitch and a half. Meaning, I like to do what I want, whenever I want. I love the idea of having someone to cuddle with and all that romantic crap, but I hate the idea of being committed to someone. Most high school guys are really damn controlling, anyways. They always want you on their arm whenever you have free time, they expect you to call them every second of the day, and what's most annoying is that if you so much as look at a guy friend of yours, they automatically presume you're being a slut.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but I hate being told what to do. If I want to hug a guy friend of mine, I'm sure as hell going to do it. If I want to go out somewhere without you, I'm going to do it. If I want to spend my lunch with my friends and not you, I'm going to do it. Well, you can just imagine how a relationship with me would work out.
Anyways, I'm getting off-topic. What I was trying to say through all of that why do I have to have a "significant other" (as Beth-Ann likes to call it) to be understand what it's like to be away from someone you care about? I miss being around some of my best friends whom I love to death all the time, and you don't hear me whining about how lonely I am. Grow a pair and suck it up. Honestly, I enjoy being alone. It's peaceful, quiet, and free of clingy melodramatics like you, Beth-Ann. :)
But here's where I get confused. I'm practically the only person who's never had/doesn't want a boyfriend. Is it wrong I cherish my time alone that much? :/
annoyed,
ranting,
wtf
