It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled sea

I realize that I am ordinary in high school, if nothing else. I do not talk to the “wrong” sort of people, I have friends, I do well in school. I’m not quite sure what high school stereotype I fit into, because I always seem to have at least one disqualifying characteristic for social labels. In some ways I wish it wasn’t so-labels, after all,

A very poetic entry, Majjie-pie. Sometimes I feel like I'm one of those losers, but I have cliques of my own, sad strange cliques that consist of ideological outcasts (sexual deviants, political radicals, etc.) and the socially inept. But you know what? I'm okay with not having an established label. Maybe it makes you... special? Or maybe no one can have a perfect notion of where they belong. *shrug*

Just found your ell-jay and wanted to comment.

The only people that are singled out for their political beliefs are the pro-bush and republicans. Welcome to NYC, eh?

Friending you. :)

Hey, Maj.

They have no friends, people mock them to their faces, and they make me cringe. Why aren’t they aware of how they act? What they look like? How can they just walk up to some really popular person and try to start an embarrassing conversation? And how on earth can they walk away calmly after being rebuffed and shoved away? Maybe they don’t-maybe they plot assassination attempts, scrawls methods of murder in their journals, cry-and maybe everyone will realize what horrible people we are to these kids when they do something drastic.Me, I'm one of those loners

Haha, most of them are rhetorical anyway, right?

There's this girl in our school whose skin must be made out of titanium or something. She's be rediculed since sixth grade, and doesn't quite get the fact that people don't like her. For whatever reason. I guess it no longer matters, since when it comes to people's actions emotions always trump truth. No matter how base said emotions are.

I was thinking of a specific person when I was writing that... so yeah.

Question-- what kind of school do you go to? Because yours seems like a real hard-knock place. Our school doesn't do outright harassing--like that comment in your 7th grade... that's just awful-- but our school isn't too usual. It's urban, it's liberal, it's small, you know far too much about your classmates... I don't know. Just wondering.

Friended you, btw. :)

Oohhh. I seee.

I go to a public school. It's semi-large school, and it looks like it had been dropped from outer space into the middle of "Downtown". I live in the country, and "Downtown" has basically a jewelery store, post office, and some other nicks and knacks. I'll try to find you thingy about it.

But I don't know too much about my classmates. Oh, Hell, I hardly know half of their NAMES.

Yay! Friended you back. :-)

So do I! However, it's very similar to how private schools are set up. We're just poor, that's all.
