Like discovering the tooth fairy for the first time
Listening to: Wind-Up Electric Chair/ Candy Spooky Theater

Well, it's that time. I think everyone needs to have one in their life. And no, I'm not talking about a secret lover! XD I'm talking about a rant! This is mine, and before I start I want to say two things. One is that I completely understand if you want to skip through this, but I do appreciate it if you read the whole thing. And two, NONE of this is directed at ANYONE on MyO. You guys are great, I would never rant at you. Ok, let's get started, shall we?

1. Staring.
Ugh, I hate this! People, please for God's sake, stop staring at me like I have a robot coming out of my head (FLCL reference)! Yes, I am freakishly tall, and no I'm not going to change. Also, if you're going to stare at me, could you not do it and then turn and start whispering to your friend next to you when I'm RIGHT THERE? This is pretty basic stuff, I think.

2. Sex lives.
Ok. I'm 15. So, I know what sex is about. But that does not mean that I want to know what you and your could be boyfriend did while you were on senior lunch leave. I don't want to know that you had sex in the back of your car, which is where I'm currently sitting. It's just wrong. You don't need to shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm not a virgin!" when I'm walking with you in a crowd of people. Keep it to yourself.

3. Racism.
Ok, so I know that slavery was a terrible thing. I'm not saying that isn't true. But what I am saying is that it is just as easy for a black person to be racist against a white person as it is for the opposite to be true. If a white person makes a joke about a black person on TV, they might be taken off the air. But if the opposite happens, everyone just laughs their heads off. How is that ok? And how can the people who make fun of me and throw me into walls at school get away with it, but I can't do the same to them? I just don't get it. Please don't take this as me saying I hate all black people. I actually have a lot of black or mixed race friends. But this is just the way I feel about it. I live in Durham, NC, and if you've been paying attention to the lacrosse case, you might notice that relationships between races are kinda tense right now.

Ok, that's it for now. I have a million other things I could rant about, but I don't want to bore you. Please remember that this stuff is all just my opinion. Don't take it too seriously, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't just blow it off either. Ok, see you around!
