<: ( in recent news, I have become bespectacled. YEP, I now have to have braces and glasses next year, for one year. I think that my body just wants to ruin my next school year. >>"""" like i NEED another reason for people to make fun....mainly the twits who ride my school bus. (i have 7 guys in my grade who ride my bus and take great pride in making it a living Hell for me when they get bored and actually realize that there's a girl who sits in the last seat. plus some evil girls in a lower grade who think they're all that but they sure aren't) and i have no friends in the back, so that really sucks. one guy isn't THAT mean/teasing to me, but yeah, I do get teased/pranked every now and again. Now, I've been redistricted to different schools for 3 years. When I finally made it to THIS school, I decided "YES! It's a clean slate! I can be myself without people thinking I'm a poser!" So I decided to be my slightly out-there self, no matter the consequences. So now I have to deal with immature guys who think that all girls should wear Abercrombie and be really quite skinny. I'm pretty average looking, except for my height, which is above average. I have WILD hair, it's pretty bed-head curly looking on a daily basis, but I love it. I don't wear the average labels (as my friend B says, if it [the brand] starts with an A and ends with an E then I don't shop there, with Hollister as the exception to that rule. but I still don't shop there. No offense to anyone that does, I just don't.) My clothes really don't HAVE labels. I'm just the jeans-and-a-t-shirt and the tried and true sweatshirt that's not too bulky and can wear almost all the time chick. So, with that parts of me intact, these wannabe prima donnas on my bus come to the back of the bus to give me "Style Tips." for real. I tried to tell them to go the heck away but they didn't listen. They were saying (none too brightly, I might add) that I lacked style and they had it so they wanted to give me some tips. (note: i looked style up after they said this, and one of the definitions said "personal expression" hence I have/had more style than they did in a way) They were talking to me as if I had a disability. And then they started saying that I should shop at the AE brands and that jazz, (my thoughts: you'd have to kill me and stick me in a body bag to go in there) and then they kept running off names of places in the local mall. (my thoughts: do you think I get my clothes from the DUMPSTER or something?) and then they suggested Limited Too. Now, for those of you who don't know, limited too is for little girls. LITTLE girls. The clothes have sequins and pink fluff all over them. It's kinda like the mini AE brand stores+1 for preteens. PREteens. Now, I found this insulting (not that the whole rest of the conversation wasn't, i just found this condescending and stuck-up. and i LIVE in a neighborhood with these people.) Most of the time, I don't tell on the people who poke fun at me, because I don't want to make it any worse than it already is on myself. But the next time something like this happens.....I'm not going to keep quiet. i hope that you all are having a lovely weekend right now! the sky is (almost) clear and spring is here and all those jerks can go suck on some eggs, I am HAPPY. (btw, I'm going to NYC next week and I'm going to see the Lion King!!!! really looking forward to the sets and costumes...AND music too!) =3
*i'll be sure to let you guys know how the whole trip was, too! i'm looking forward to seeing the MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and Central Park.
