The Burdens of Being Upright

boys dont make passes at girls who wear glasses

when i'm in my 40s and looking back on high school, i wonder what i'll remember it for. junior year is almost here and i can only imagine what this year will hold for me. to keep with the pattern, a national crisis is in order for the fall. freshmen year was 9-11, sophomore year was the sniper, this year some tragedy needs to take place so we can have a moment of silence during the morning announcements and there will be news helicopters circling above when i walk outside after school. its just bound to happen, repetition owes it to us. maybe i'll meet some new people and have lots of fun. maybe i'll sit home every saturday night and knit. who knows. all i know is, i'm bored. i want to have fun with my friends. but none of my friends are up for fun anymore. bah. i want a boyfriend. or someone i can be comfortable with and not have to worry about everything. i want to skip ahead to that part where you can just lie on the couch and watch tv with someone and not have to talk to or entertain eachother and still enjoy the company.
