Shira's Rants

[Shira]

This is where Shira is going to put all her rants from now on, instead of spamming up the Anger Management boards. They aren't going to be in any particular order, so there!

This one is about penis wrinkles.

Yesterday, during gym, me and Diana were calling each other really childish names. She'll call me poo poo face, I'll call her ka ka head. Then I heard her call me penis, so I called her a penis wrinkle (cause it's funny).

This girl Nicole gives me this really really weird look as she's blushing. Then she tells 'Rana (can't spell her name for the life of me), who also blushes and laughs at the Shira.

Then today, in English, I have Nicole, and we were sharing our notecards, so I'm sitting on the other side of the room, near Nicole, Glenn (I'll get into him in a moment) and some other girls.

They start laughing at me, and giggling about stupid shit, but I can tell it's AT ME. So we're almost through the end of notecard sharing, and Nicole and Glenn are arguing over this note that Glenn wants to pass me, but she doesn't, but Glenn finally tosses me a note.

Inside, it says:

Nicole says that you like penis wrinkles. Is this true?

and then, under it,

Are you gay?



Where the hell did that come from??? It doesn't help me that every year, in gym class, I was constantly asked if I was a lesbian. I'm sorry if I am a touchy feely sort of person; just ask Rie. During class together, I would have my hand on her, rubbing her shoulders or something to pass the time has he taught us. And I like to give, and receive, hugs.


But Glenn is dropping out of school, as he's only a senior and only has nine credits, so I don't have to worry about him anymore. And many of the girls are going to be dropped from creative writing anyway because they're late all the time.





Okay, that's over with. Now I want to say why I've been having a pretty bad last few days (other than that).

My dad refuses to sign a permission slip allowing me and my sister to go on a field trip to a writing competition.

A costume I asked Rie to order off of Ebay for me DOESN¡¦T FIT. The skirt won't go up, and the shirt won't go down. So now I have to pay more money to get a Christian school girl's skirt, and a blouse, to make it look like the outfit, making it cost me over $100.

My stepmom took my ipod from me, and can't remember where she put it.

And I have a pounding headache behind my right eye because I think I need new glasses. It doesn't help that I think I bent the frames again, so that could be it too.



SO GRRAAAAAAAA!!!!

Oh boy. *rolls eyes* Some people stay immature in a good way (me for one, huzrah!) but some people just hang on to all the bad points about childishness...

*many many hugs for Shira*

Sounds like you're having a pretty lousy time at the moment. Hang in there, ignore everyone who's giving you hassle, and take good care of yourself.

Your ipod will turn up (*does the jedi hand-wave* It will!) and the admiring looks you'll get when you look fantastic at Halloween and whenever else you wear the costume will make up for the money it cost you.

As for the writing competition, I sympathise completely. If it's not too late, have you tried asking your dad (calmly and politely, without in any way being antagonistic... Knowing my mum, that's never a good idea...) exactly why he won't let you go? You seem perfectly sensible and mature to me, you're old enough to take care of yourself on a short trip away from home, and from what I've seen of your writing you're in with a shot at succes.

*many more hugs for Shira*

I know how frustrating it is when people make stupid remarks about you and the like. I have the same trouble. It's beginning to wear off though, since I've never really shown that I'm too bothered by it, and everyone else is busier with schoolwork and exams and so on, so they forget about me a little.

From this side of the Atlantic there's not much else I can do to help apart from offer moral support, but you definitely have that from me. Promise me you'll be alright, okay?

[Shira]

I promise. Don't worry -- I won't do anything stupid, like get myself expelled or something. I just wanted somewhere to rant, and otherwise just be mean. And everything just felt like it was smushing in on me all at the same time.....

^^ Thanks a million for the moral support.
