Uneventful weekend, except for the fact I finally went to the car races. I saw the guy that used to like me and he looked...the same I guess, except for the spiked hair. I take it his mom finally let him spike his hair, the SAME mom who didn't want him hanging out with me because she thought I looked 'preppy'. Robert's going to leave me and I'm sad. *tear* I won't ever get to see him again unless he retires from the Navy and that'll be a long time probably because I see how long it is for my friend Jorge's dad to retire. Every year or two his dad says he'll retire in the next year or so. Every year it's the same, he ends up having to stay another few more years. It's not that I'm trying to be selfish, it's just...I'll miss the person that I can talk to the most about things. But..right now I'm in one of those I want to bitch about myself moods, so before things get started I might as well end them now. LaterZ

I rethought something on the popularity of 1st graders. So think, the kutest, smartest, popularist girl in the grade (1st) has the koolest crayons. EVERYONE wants to use them. That would make her popular. I also experienced that bit of popularity. And come to think of it, I've seen that girl around the school. But she's not as popular as she was in elementary school, because elementary school was on a 1 school basis, and once u hit high school from middle school there's MORE people and more groups. All I know about that one single girl is she turned bi and she's goth and all that other smack.

OH and popularity also makes you bite your nails. Guess I was never popular, I never bit my nails.

K added my input on that, laterZ

So I was thinking about how popularity was judged upon the years. Elementary school, in order to be cool with the "earlier" gamers, it meant you had to have a game system higher than a SNES. Which after that would have been the N64. You had to have been cool to have that one. Then I thought, well what about in school in general. So here's what I came up with:

Kindergarten- You were judged upon how many crayons you had, what color scissors you had.
Bragging rights and props to the kids who actually tried out for the science fair and got first place IN kindergarten.
1st Grade- Boys: Who you got your first kiss from. (yes this did happen, I remember)
Girls: If you were the girl to kiss the guy.
2nd Grade: Who could get away with the most stuff and not get in trouble
3rd Grade: Anything that didn't have to get in trouble. Then again, if you got a referrel you were cool (first of the bad boys etc.)
4th Grade: If you were a new student, you automatically became popular. Having a twin also helped this little detail a bit.
5th grade: If you had a gameboy color with any cool games and were able to sneak it to school you might've been considered cool AMONG your friends, but not among the grade.

and in concluding all these grades I also thought for all the grades that if you were a girl and were able to wear makeup without getting noticed, you were considered cool. But then again you had to be one of the cute girls in the grade too.

6th grade- Girls: First girl to have a boyfriend and keep him for at least a month. Then get rumors had about you and that boyfriend. Wearing the coolest makeup and looking cool with it. (Sad to say I wasn't either, I didn't like to wear makeup and I hated boys, but then I hung around with them at lunch...)
Boys- Whoever had the most Pokemon cards. Whoever had the girlfriend that got rumors (and he was mentioned in them). Then also, if you were the guy to strip in front of your last period class, you were always remembered.
7th grade: Whoever had a boyfriend/girlfriend the longest. Talk back to the teachers and not get sent to the office.
8th grade: All the things that went for the other grades, and then picking on all the 6th graders.

These are what I've observed in the high school years:

9th Grade: Being able to go through the year without being called a fish. Being part of a clique that has all the popular people in it. Instant group of people (mostly smart) if you went to the Athena schools (Wynn Seale and Baker).
10th Grade: Surviving 9th grade without getting held back. Start skipping and not getting caught (starts in 9th but usually people are always caught)
11th grade: Definetely skipping and not getting caught (if you did you'd probably be mocked).
12th grade: Skipping and having a car to do it with (considering the security guard or camera doesn't see you during the act)

Of course 11th and 12th were a little short and unthought because I haven't been in those grades. Maybe Chris can give me hints on 11th. Help me out here Chris!

K well I need to go and b**** out a gamer magazine for something. I'll write later

K, so I haven't updated in a while. I've not been in the mood. Chris...no. I got tasered yesterday by my ex-boyfriend David! He grabbed my hand and just shocked me with his little "taser-camera". It left to white marks on my finger where it hit. That thing felt like it was pulling on me and they said it was like less than a second until I started screaming. It felt like more than a second! It like....felt like 2 seconds. Man. Well yeah, I'm leaving right now because everyone seems to be getting sick. My sister had a 103 fever and my friend Kelly isn't coming to school today because...she's sick. YEAH! ok, well bye
