The Experiences of a Fed Up Teenage Drama Queen

#1
I HUNGER FOR ASSMEATS, BITCH!

Now that I have your attention, I feel I should give you warning first off:

I am a drama queen. I like angst, I cry a lot. I also love the works of Jhonen Vasquez, who is a god.

No, wait, don't turn back yet, this isn't going to be an angsty goth notebook full of bad poetry.

It's an account of my life, or at least the funny, interesting parts. I figure a lot of you sadists can laugh at my pain.

You see, I was born in the hills of "Ol' Virginny." Believe everything you hear, it's true. The school has a one line dress code: Thou Shalt Wear Camoflauge. I thought they'd close the schools and have a countywide day of mourning when Dale Earnhardt died. No, really. The next day, half my schoolmates were in black, and most of the rest were in black camoflauge.

I'll admit, I'm a freak/geek. I wear all black, mostly, sometimes jeans and an anime or game t-shirt to break the monotony, but mostly all black. When I'm not scaring my peers with my almost vampiric aura, I'm annoying the hell out of them with my overbubbly happy game/anime/computer stuff. But you don't care about that. You're here to read about stupid rednecks, right?

Well, Land-o-Goshen, that's whut yer gunna git. (Authentic redneck-speak!)

Before I get into the rednecks, I must explain two horrors the local schools have created:
The ghetto preps, and the ghetto redneck preps. I will admit, our school has some diversity, if not exactly the kind I want. There's preps (they're EVERYWHERE), rednecks, ghetto kids, ghetto redneck preps, ghetto preps, and others (that's me).

Ghetto prep is basically universal, although I promise you, my land is its birthplace. It consists of baggy jeans and a large, preppy t-shirt (preferrably American Eagle); overly expensive, clean shoes are not an option, they're required. They talk ghetto, but they're mostly like white kids trying to be black. Scary.

A ghetto redneck prep is probably the embodiment of my worst nightmares. This freakish clique involves baggy jeans, chains, a t-shirt (does not matter what kind as long as it's baggy and fashionable), boots, and some article of the Confederacy (Pun. I'm sorry, smack me.). These things are usually into nascar...maybe rap or maybe country. Maybe both. Speaks ghetto with a redneck accent. Basically, a white kid trying to be black trying to be white.

With that out of the way, I present: Drama Queen Theatre. Please, no smoking, food, or drink inside the thread.

I forgot the most abundant clique: Stupid.

It goes without saying that a school full of rednecks and other such people is a school full of morons. The two go hand in hand.

For Scene one, I give you what I call, The Ballad of the Sun and the Earth...or, Someone didn't pay attention in preschool.

In my first period U.S. History class, which is where the REAL fun is, I sit across from a rather charming (ghetto) individual named Barry. Well, one day, before class really started, Barry asked why the year was 365 days long instead of 400 or something. I informed him that it was due to the Earth taking 365.25 days to revolve around the Sun, which is why we have leap years as well.

Barry proudly announced, through loud laughter, that "It don't take no 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun! Ahahahaha!" and so on for about five minutes. I think he got to saying "It only takes the Earth one day! I see the Sun every day, don't I?!" about four times before the teacher enlightened him. He didn't get it, so Mr. U.S. History (we shall call the teachers by their subjects) brought him and another student up to the front for a demonstration. Barry ended up spinning around the other student while rotating.

I am temped to tell him the Moon is made of green cheese and see what happens.

I just love weddings...don't you?

I had the joy of attending my friend's (He's 35, I'm 16...There is no age rift (except legal geeks and jailbait, and geeks who have the privilege of being old enough to legally consume alcohol) in the Geek Kingdom.) first wedding.

Everyone knows that a wedding is the Bride's party. Forget the groom, check out that dress!

So she planned it. I feel so sorry for the guy.

The wedding was in...a barn.

I swear, I'm not lying. Wood floor, red tin roof and all. A BARN. Halfway through the wedding procession (all of two people), the CD player froze and the Bumpkin Bride was left standing in the middle of the aisle with complete silence and a bug crawling up the back of her dress.

The reception was a bunch of folding chairs and some ham biscuits and lemonade. And there was a golf cart giving rides to and from the barn to the nearby parking lot.

Note to self: Weddings are bad, Hoedowns are worse. Never combine the two.

Teenagers

If there's one thing I hate besides children, it's teenagers.

I believe teenagers are God's revenge on humanity. Teenagers are pulsing little wads of hormone with some stupid and know-it-all mixed in...simmered in a conformist pot in some angst.

Teenagers believe that their problems are the most horrible, important problems in the world (I'll give some credit, some do have horrible problems to deal with...child abuse and depression and other things like that.) and that Oh my GOD, they're just going to ANGST THEMSELVES TO DEATH because Brian cheated on them with Amy Brown and WOE, their parents DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM! The tragedy!

I am sorry to say I am one of these little maggots, as much as I don't want to be. I hope I am not as bad as the others.

Anyway, these little brand name whores like to sit around in little cliques and talk about people (can't say anything, I'm pretty much doing that right now). Today, in the library, I was sitting with my one friend just talking about Final Fantasy, and this group of (obviously) intelligent students came in. One rather large girl with cornrows (she was white, just for the record) sat down and proceeded to stare into space, slack jawed and possessing all the charm of a lovesick baboon on crack. I poked my friend and quietly whispered "Hey, see that-" before I was cut off by an equally charismatic girl sitting beside the overgrown sloth. She had dragged her friend from la-la land and SCREAMED, "THAT GIRL'S TALKING ABOUT US!!!" Never mind that I hadn't mentioned her or her friend yet. This went on.

"Who is she!?"

"I don't know! DOES SHE LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF GIRL I'D HANG OUT WITH ON A DAILY BASIS!?"

I wondered if she was speaking this loudly on purpose or she just didn't know how to talk about people. So, I just smiled at my friend and rather loudly whispered, "Hey, they're screaming about me." I wish I had a camera to capture the look on the little screamer's face.


Also in current events, a certain girl at my school is pregnant...and her friend is jealous, so she's telling everyone she's pregnant too! Only the father and the baby changes every day. Example:

"I'm pregnant! I accidently screwed my best friend's brother last night!"

My first reaction was, "What the hell?" Followed by a "What, were you just lying naked on the floor with your legs spread and he just happened to come into the room, naked as well, trip, and fall, and ended up going inside you by chance? And then you just kinda went with it?" I said that she was one of the saddest girls I had ever met....she had to pretend to be a slut.

Also, I hate the Victoria's Secret models for exactly the same reason the boys love them. That will be all for now.

Geekiness

The computers at my school (5 year old Gateways running Win95) are so easy to hack. I've made a sport out of this (not malicious hacking, mind you. I'm not a script kiddie.). Someday I intend to meddle with the version of AIM they've got installed (hidden) and see if I can't connect.

Anyway, speaking of Geekiness...

My second grade teachers caused my becoming a geek.

You see, in that year (which was...1993, I believe.), the second grade class put on a musical. A musical about the King of the Jungle, a lion, and his subjects. See, Mr. King wasn't happy, so he sent out Zebra and Cheetah to find something to make him happy. Well, fine and dandy. Of course, Aki wanted to play the female lead (Zebra or Cheetah).

But no. Due to Aki's EXCESSIVE energy....Aki played....


.....


....(Are you ready? Don't laugh!)....

....a monkey.

Okay, stop laughing and bear with me. This leads to something.

You see, the key to the monkeys' happiness was...video games.

I played a monkey. I wore a brown sweatshirt and pants, tennis shoes, a little brown monkey tail and ears...

....and a Nintendo controller tied around my waist.

I was a video game obsessed monkey. I even sang an ENTIRE SONG about playing video games. All my lines were DEVOTED to video games. I am going to drag this video out (my parents taped it) and watch it again. If I had a video capture card, I could even torture all my friends with it.

....But yes. Thanks to my second grade teachers choosing me to be a videogamephiliac monkey during my oh-so-crucial development years, my fate was sealed and I have turned into the happy little geek I am now.

And if you'll excuse me, I have the sudden, unexplicable urge to go play Final Fantasy IX.
