| 19. If they made a movie which accurately reflected my high school... |
|
...experience, it would be one of those movies that gets lots of awards but no one goes to see.
It was that depressing.
It was four years of hell. I don't live in the same town where I grew up, and I never see any folks I knew from high school. I didn't have any friends in high school, aside from one teacher; I don't make friends easily. Internet messsage boards, actually, are a much better social vehicle for me. I get to make a thought complete before others receive it; there is never an interruption; no one needs to feel threatened by me. And I'm really a harmless guy, honest. People see me as a threat for the same reason they killed Socrates: no one likes a guy who's seemingly right all the time.

Can't say there'd be much call for a NON-nympho Catholic-girls flick, true. |
