There's been this overhaul in my school.
They're known as attention whores. Last year, it wasn't bad. It clicked itself into the corner, along with normal kids (my school's norm is Magic-playing dorks listening to Happy Hardcore...and Buzzy).
Let me explain my observations over the last few weeks:
- Coffee and Old People
At my retirement home, I wash dishes, set up coffee, clean up, etc. What became so important recently was that I gave the elders decaf coffee during dinner. I've been doing that fine for the last month working there. Up until about a week ago, I started giving the orange-rimmed coffee pot REGULAR-CAFFEINATED coffee. Following observations will happen in a few weeks, granted something drastic happens
- Attention Whores
Being Student Council president at my school gives me plenty of room to sit back and observe. Often, I'll sit in on classes, just to observe behavior patterns that didn't strike me being an underclassmen. Just recently, students at my school started feeling very confortable with their surroundings to the point where attention needed to be absorbed - like a magnet. There are two strong-points in the high school portion of the school (I'll call them S & M). S has every other upperclassman following her like a dog. M has every underclassman following her like an even more pathetic dog.
- Being Ignorant gets the chicks
Hard to believe it, but this year, I just about don't give a crap if someone needs my help on useless work. Last year, I tolerated it. This year, not at all. As a result, I can be blunt with someone about their use of time, if they're fat, how much they appeal to resident-douchebag, why it's not a smart idea to smoke, or if their religion's corrupt. I tell it like it is; as a result, many are speechless for 5 minutes.
Then...out of nowhere, the girls CRAWL BACK. Like nothing I've ever noticed before - here I've only thought it was some fabrication for negative advantage. Turns out women like their men RAW. A good friend explained it in-depth with me (which to me, this was CIA-classified stuff). Her best bet's that women like to change guys. A TON. They also like strong leaders and dislike indecisiveness.
- OH! Religion groups in the morning.
I didn't even know about this until today. I was setting up some audio equipment in the cafeteria, when a precious little group of white kiddos entered. Blasting their pious Christian tunes from some 10 dollar iPod amp, they walked to a back table to "better express themselves under God". What didn't click in my head was that they were STILL blasting that damn music louder than they were speaking. So, in reality, no productivity here.
I guess both ways, there wasn't much productivity. I just don't understand it. It's all about "His" glory. This is why I just can't take religion so well.
I skipped the whole thing about wanting a girlfriend. Of course I want one, dammit. I can daydream for the meanwhile (and lucid dream on certain nights). Until then, I have just about the next-best thing.
Oh yes. A bracelet. This girl's making it especially hard for me NOT to take special notice. High school sweethearts can go suck it - she's the whole package and more.
Ok, so there goes my pointless presentation for Brit. Lit tomorrow. I just wrote about some practical brain-development. Off to report on Marylyn Manson and NIN? Okay, fine.
