Detention

Yes, that's right. I've never had a detention in my life, and then the first month of High School, BAM! De-ten-tion. I thought it was gonna be like Breakfast Club, where we sat in the library and the teacher ditched us, so we do a whole bunch of stupid crap. But NOOOOOO. Instead, we did manual labor. HOORAY! *sarcasm* I didn't even DESERVE detention. I got it for the stupidest reason. I was late. 3 times. I mean, COME ON! School starts at 7:20!!!! How do they expect us to do that! You know, according to our Circadian Cycles, teenagers should got to sleep at around 11:00 and wake up at nine or ten. It should go like this: Elementary school starts at 8:30 because little kids get up naturally the earliest. Middle starts at 9:15, their cycles starting to go a little off. But High School should start at 10:00. We need to sleep the latest, but we need to wake up the earliest. WHO CAME UP WITH THIS SYSTEM?!?!??!??!?!?! It's so intensely idiotic. Then again, I suppose that the entire schoolboard is. Thank God they had the decency to make Sex Ed optional. I think I would have to shoot somebody.
As to other things... well, there aren't really other things. School is the main thing happening right now. I haven't seen Richard since my party, and Julia got a boyfriend, which is kinda sad. I mean, it's GREAT for her, but just another long and sad remnder for me in what I am lacking. Except for like, a five minute relationship in fifth grade, I've never had a boyfriend. In 8th grade this dude asked me out, but he doesn't count because he looks like his face was stepped on by a rhino. And also had gone out with two of my friends in the previous two months. And asked out another two. I think it was his personal goal to date all of the single girls in 8th grade, which fizzled out at the third rejection. He really WAS ugly.
But yeah. It makes me feel inadequate, ya know? I mean, all of my friends are prettier than me, and have almost all had serious realtionships. And if they didn't, they totally could. I guess part of it is that I intimidate guys. I mean, I dont just walk into a classroom, I bound in. Or, depending on my mood, barrel. Into a classroom, I mean. And I'm pretty tough for a girl. Well actually, I'm pretty tough period. Today in Alg 2, this guy Greg who sits behind me was making all these annoying sounds, and I threatened to brain him with my calculator. I picked it up and moved toward him, and he's all like, "Okay, okay, I'll stop."
So yeah. Maybe that's it. But sometimes, I feel like I'm just not the kind of guy girls like. I'm not all that pretty, I make dirty joke, and I will admit to being kinda annoying at times. But still. You'd think that SOMEONE out of the 3,000 kids at my school (about 1,500 being guys) would be in to me. But I'm not going ot give up hope. It's still the beginning of the year. Things could change.
