cimorenei'm a girl scout. i never really think much about this, but i was when i was painting the bookshelves the other day. i mean, i despise cheerleaders, sure, and i've never been to one of those high school parties where everyone gets drunk in the wilderness, and my friends didn't even have them (it was getting drunk at karti's house, thank you, and i did not go).
but like. senior girl scout with gold award, valedictorian, president of two honor societies, member of three, youth ambassador in the sister city delegation and then again in this, erm, nationwide youth-for-understanding thing sponsored by some various departments of the japanese government. various and sundry writing and art awards. i mean, it really kind of baffles me. sure, i'm used to thinking of myself as better than everyone else. and who isn't? but then again, i also think of myself as lazy. i mean, no, i am lazy. i always came home and read slash until i didn't feel like reading it anymore before i did anything else. i, um, didn't want to do my homework, although i usually did finish it. i only wrote what i felt like writing. i pissed my teachers off regularly because when the english teacher was making up meaning in literature, i told her so.
i mean, my point is, though, that i'm really sort of dismayingly vanilla, conformist, and all-american, no matter how i like to think of myself.
i've never even blown up a park bench.

Date: 21 Aug 2002 07:00 am (UTC)For one I wasnt involved in anything really with the school, I had senior band and my DJ spot at lunch every monday and in the morning every wednesday. I dont have any awards, certificates, etc. I didnt have the best graes, mainly because I NEVER did homework, and to this day I have no idea how I passed at all! My average was in the 80% range, but I think that was a fluke. I dont think I EVER went to a math class without getting high first, and I've written every major test and exam either drunk or really high. *thinks* Maybe this is why I dont remember hgh school much...
I wasnt really "the bad girl" type, granted I did skip school, but some of that was when they were getting rid of our town's hospital and I went to protest. I think school just didnt suit me, I'm more of a self-learner.
And dont worry, you can always blow something up when youre having your middle-aged crisis!! ;)
