I Enjoy Being a Girl Vol 2! — Page 130

Weez, how about the Stepsisters' Lament from Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella? It's funny and works taken out of context.

I just auditioned for "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" at my school. This is my final play at my high school, so I hope I get a good role, since I've gotten good roles in my freshman, sophomore, and junior plays. I really want to be Mrs. Beaver, but basically any role would be cool with me, so long as it's not Susan or Father Christmas.

Jazzy-- don't worry, you're perfectly welcome here. Heck, Pianolin started this second incarnation of the thread, and he's a guy.

Anyway, it sounds like you're surrounded by idiots, and that's got to be horrible. We've got a pretty fair number of jerkbag 'future fratboy idiots of America' type guys at my school, but it doesn't sound like it's anywhere near as bad as your school. I hate how homophobic EVERYTHING guys talk about is, though. It's like every single sentence is, "Let's see how I can make it clear that I'm a straight guy in this sentence!" Those guys all look and sound exactly the same anyway... I'm not really sure why girls would want to date them, because they have no distinguishable personality and most of them aren't even cute anyway.

Most of my friends are geeky guys or theatre guys or theatre geek guys, and while they're still super-pervy and horny all the time, they're also intelligent and funny and genuinely nice enough to make me forget most of the time how many really stupid guys are out there. But then homecoming court was announced today, and all of the boys were mainstream jocks and ALL of the girls are the same cheerleaders who have held the same SGA offices every year since seventh grade. Not that I mind because I'd rather eat a live cat than be on homecoming court, but it's just that I live in my own 'theatre bubble' so much that I forget that our school really DOES have the same clique structure that seems like the kind of thing that only happens in fiction.

I LOOOVE your avatar, by the way. First You Dream was magnificent, and then I saw Heidi and Julia at a local high school for ArtSpeak this week, and they were fabulous!

Well, I guess I'm the newest BWW 'girl' now!

It's like every single sentence is, "Let's see how I can make it clear that I'm a straight guy in this sentence!"

Bahaha, that pretty much sums up the speech of most HS guys.

I live in a small, VERY sports oriented city... so that probably explains the high amount of dBags roaming the hallways of my school. Overall, I LOVE my school so much. I went to a middle school on the other side town...and it was awful. I left middle school with no self confidence and when I moved across town and started HS... I started making a lot of really good friends and I became a lot happier. I just try my best not to associate myself with dBag guys. I do theatre (I'm horrible at it...but it's so much fun!) and orchestra (that's my passion) so I mainly hang out with theatre-dorks and orch-dorks. Even though other guys make fun of me for participating in the school musicals and playing the violin, I just ignore them and continue doing what I love to do. Music is my life. It's everything to me... it's entertainment, it's my way of relaxing, it's my therapist (no joke). Even on the rare occasion that these guys ACTUALLY get to me...I turn to the two things that always lift me up:
Music and my friends.

My weakness is.. no matter how mean these high school boys are, I'm still respectful to them. I won't go out of my way to be their friend, but I still do my best to treat them with the respect that I want to be treated with. Sometimes I think that I should fight back and get angry...but I just remember that by doing that, I'm no better than they are.

Ahhh, we're not doing the musical version of Narnia; it's a stage show. But honestly, I'd love to be the White Witch more than anything, but let's just say I ain't Tilda Swinton. I have a round, cheerful face and I'm neither tall nor pointy. And there's this girl who I know is going to get it (and everyone else agrees).

Her English accent is not very good and I'm not a big fan of her acting (she impersonates Nicole Kidman vocally and physically), but she always gets cast in this type of role. I don't say this to be catty, because I do like her and she's been REALLY, REALLY good in several of our shows where casting was dead on. But I realize that the Witch would be an unrealistic aspiration for me! ^_^

I'm going to a party tonight! I never go out, but I got invited to a surprise party for one of the awesome girls at my local Starbucks (where I might be getting a job, but more on that later). I see these people everyday, but I have never hung out with them before... but I need to meet new people and break out of my eat, sleep, work, find something to be pissed/depressed about cycle!

So about my job.... *sigh* My hours keep getting cut (like today I was suppose to work but they told me not to come in.) and two of the girls have told me that after xmas they will only be giving hours to the asst manager and maybe one other person. If I get into AMDA the semester starts in February.... so pretty much I would be employed with no hours for two months! Oh, hell no! That is so not going to happen... I refuse to be effed over by these people! I am going to straight up ask them if I will have any hours after xmas and if I sense anything close to no, then I will find another downtown job! I might go with Starbucks because the people are super nice and barista is a nice skill to have :-P

---

Weez, I am all for the quitting of the job.... I refuse to stay at jobs that make me seriously unhappy because I believe that it is the universes way of saying get the eff out of there!

---

AllThatJazz, you are more than welcome here with us anytime you want to stop in! And good on you for being so mature. I taught HS for many years and yeah, alot of the boys were ridonkulously immature.

---

Clever, if they are good give me the recipe!! That sounds very yummy!

---

LOL!..snd you KNOW that running thing will never pan out.

..the drinking, however...

HEY! I've BEEN running for years! In fact, the reason I run is to be able to drink more and not have a beer gut!!!

I DO have my priorities straight.

hey, if Take Care of your Kids is anywhere near the top 10 you're in pretty good shape.

That show looks great! I hope I can make it!

This really creepy kid has been following me around, and he won't take a hint. He literally is intentionally late to all of his classes so he can follow me to mine, and is always at the door waiting for me when I come out of my class. I keep saying in a joking tone things like 'hey, if I wanted a bodyguard, I'd hire one,' or 'whoa, where'd you come from, you're like the Phantom of the Opera." He keeps saying things like, "You look sexy in a labcoat," and "you look hot with pigtails," but not even in a joking way, just in this creepy intense socially inept way.

He sends me at least twenty facebook messages a day and always asks me exactly what my plans are and everything I've been doing. If I say something like 'watching a movie' or 'mini golfing with friends,' he acts like it's the coolest thing he's ever heard, because he HAS NO FRIENDS. At all. And he acts like all he ever does is homework and nothing else, but I know he has a 1.5 average because he shoved a transcript in my face and pointed to every class he's ever had with me.

I am the closest thing he has to friends, and I usually completely ignore him, except for when he asks me a direct question, when I answer in monosyllables without looking at him. Today, he asked me where my house was so he could walk there after school and wait for me so he could talk to me when I left the house. I'm not actually kidding. I told him that would be a bad idea and when he persisted, I told him I live too far away to walk.

Why do I ALWAYS have these creepy stalkers? It almost makes me feel like I have more creepy stalkers than real friends, just because I don't insult every strange person I meet to their faces. As soon as I got away from him by telling him I rode a different bus than I do, I got on the bus and was accosted by another primary creepy stalker (this one female). It just makes me want to pull my face off and give it to someone else.
