JDS has nothing more to offer me

[pomellofellow]

I came to the realization of how much my group of friends has diminished some months ago, it just never felt so bad until today. There are days when it seems that there is not one girl i know who i can talk to about anything. There are days when i feel like im invisible to people who i thought liked me, where i'll say hi to them in the halls and

"I feel as if i simply can't compete; i can't infultrate the little clique of people who i once thought were my friends."

i couldnt agree w/ u more, and know exactly how u feel. i also get the feeling that my group of friends has drastically changed over the past few months, and it is really bothering me to think about it as well. it could be competition, could be bc of the amount of work we have, but whatever is causing ppl to stop being best friends is pretty horrible because it leaves u w/ a horrible feeling of lonliness and emptiness inside.
i dont think it is a relationship u need, (although that would be nice) but i think u need a group of friends who will always be there for you, and like you even if u are different from them, because friends are supposed to support u no matter what. jds ppl has really changed over the past year, and not for the better, bc it seems that everyone only cares about themselves...

I definetly agree that a strong group of friends is much better than a relationship

By the way

I was totally overhearing the conversation you were having with Zach after school today and I definetly would have helped if I had known exactly what you were talking about

you know grossman pants, that's exactly the reason me and the band didn't go to israel. i took a lot of flack for that decision, but it worked out really well for us. you find that for instance in the case of SUM 41, canada's greatest liveing rock and roll band, that once you no longer have to focus on school, band productivity greatly increases.

hang in there.

the pomellos are boss.

I couldn't agree more. Our version of "Tasty Brittle Glove" is amazing, in my opinion.

[ex_jynx84]

what do you mean 'your version'? the song is by the pomellos, you can't have your own version of your own song!

it IS a good song, though.

[sam_and_twitch]

lizz, darling, I'm in the pomellos. I play bass. We recorded the song at my house.

Dude, I really think it has nothing to do with the fact that you're reletavely new to the school. I've been hee since 1st grade, and I feel the same. There are many times I just feel like a 3rd wheel, like I'm just pushed off to the side, except the people I hang out with, I've known since my first few years at JDS, but something fucked up, and I got pushed aside. Of course, that could be my own paranoia (and I think I am a little more paranoid than most people, until a few years ago, I would always run upstairs after turning off the lights in my basement, and sometimes I still do, but rarely

i'm so excited to get the fuck out of that place. it's a factory, churning out competitive, elitist assholes. in a lot of ways, the elitism at jds is worse than at stuck-up prep schools like georgetown prep or whatnot, because it's shrouded in this "everyone's friends" atmosphere which is really a crock of shit. lately, i've been thinking about graduation and going to israel afterwards and THEN when we all finally get back to the airport in june, i'm thinking about how i'm going to tell EVERYONE off. well, not everyone, but all the kids who i really just can't fucking stand at all. i can't wait to go up to someone who really bugged me all of high school and tell them, "hey, you used to be really cool but now you're a manipulative, elitist sack of shit who made such a fuss about doing everything right and always being number one. but you know what, miss ran-for-student-council-and-lost/photo-editor-of-lions-tale, i'm done with you. i never have to hear your idiotic complaints about college and grades EVER AGAIN. hear me

hahaha at some points right now, when people ask me what the hell I want to do with my life, I say this:

"I don't know exactly. Until I know what it is I want to do, I think I'll learn English/Literature/some humanities stuff and fade into oblivion as a second rate teacher."

Why? Because owning a record label is a bit lofty.

[masturbassist]

Dude, I could deffinately see you either owning a label, or just some hole-in-the-wall indie record store.

[flubu]

Dude, if you eventually own a record label, you know what you have to do, right?
