I’m the old cow!

It’s funny, this movie. This movie called Someone Like You is in fact hysterical. Why? Why is this movie hysterical? Well, let me tell you… it is completely true. Men are like bulls. They don’t want old cows, they want new cows. They’ll be with one new cow, and it’ll suddenly turn into an old cow, never to be wanted by that bull again. The bull wants another new cow. Charge! Just like men. Or, more in particular, Alex.

And that makes me laugh.

Here is the story of Alex. Alex “dated” Emily this past summer, but never technically went out with her. All of a sudden she was dropped, and she didn’t know why. I learned later that he found out I had liked him, and he wanted to pursue me. However, I hated him for dropping Emily, and he moved on to Vanessa. He then screwed over Vanessa for me, because things happened in Nashville. He then screwed me over, because things happened with Jane while I was in Florida. Then, without ever actually dating Jane, he screwed her over while we were all in Virginia Beach, and now likes Becca and Ashley, both whom have boyfriends. What have we learned from all of this? Jane said to me today, as we were having an Alex-bashing session, “I thought it wouldn’t happen to me.” Yeah, I thought that too, Jane… it’s ok. And now we’re all finally realizing that Alex is a jerk… an asshole, and what some would refer to as a man-whore.

It’s natural to like more than one person sometimes. I’ve done it before. But you’re not supposed to act on that… you’re not supposed to tell the people you like them until you know what you want. Alex never knows what he wants.

Did I mention that this movie seriously rocks? But only if you’re me, or someone in my situation.

Meanwhile Otte and Sloan broke up, Annie and Steve broke up, thus proving my theory further, that everyone’s love lives revolve around my own. Except for Meg, who is just too complicated to talk about, and Garett, who got himself a girlfriend (Jenn). Other than that, yup, everyone’s pretty much breaking up.

Let’s just be brutally honest now. I think the thing that’s really bothering me, is the fact that I know so much about so many situations currently. Half of them belong in the band circle, half of them belong in the nerd circle, and some things just overlap. For once the soap opera is surrounding me yet not quite involving me. There is so much crap in high school, I mean there really is. No one knows what they want, and everything is so very petty. For once in my life I don’t find myself hating people. In fact, I rather enjoy them and care about them at the moment. It’s just such a shame that I can’t help them because people are just too stupid. (Myself included.) This seems like a superficial entry with a superficial conclusion, but I do believe it’s one of the most profound things that anyone could possibly come to in this 4 years we call high school.

If you dig through the superficial crap, and get to the profound crap, you’re just going to get back to the superficial crap, realizing the true statement that really gets to the bottom of things: I still don’t have a prom date.
