16. Sometimes I miss High School.

So thank you, sincerely, for reminding me how irritating it is. The way people care so inexplicably and deeply about what other people think. I'd feel a little sorry for you because, yeah, I've definitely had "obnoxious" fandom friends (the single minded ones, y'know, who don't really have much other substance to their social interaction no matter how much you try to prod them and show them that you're NOT going to make fun of them), though I've always stuck it out with them because, what the hell, *everyone* needs friends (and they were much less annoying than the kids in my English class who talked about NOTHING but MJ brownies and the 9th graders they wanted to nail).

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, what you're doing to your friends? I've had done to me. And I wouldn't wish that shit upon anyone.

What I mean is: I'm not saying you should stay pity friends with people you HONESTLY don't like, or who honestly bug you enough that you don't know why you're friends with them.

But if you do still enjoy them as people, and you're only ditching them for temporary High School popularity? That's a little disgusting and I honestly, sincerely hope you regret it.

Lol, lol, yeah, yeah, I'm a high and mighty judgmental bitch. But for fuck's sake, High School is *three fucking years*, why is there this perception that the *entirety* of one's social life must revolve around it? I didn't even know who the goddamn student council president was. ~~Not to say I didn't have a ton of friends- because I did. Just they were all losers to. Except that one who wasn't, but we forgave her.~~

SRY, SRY. I'LL STOP THE HIGH AND MIGHTY ACT NOW.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART. WHEREVER THE WIND TAKES YOU.

WHATEVER.

I'M SORRY, IT'S POSSIBLE HIGH SCHOOL IS FOUR YEARS FOR HER.

YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE NOW NULL AND VOID. TRY AGAIN.

WELL, COMBINE IT WITH JR. HIGH, IT'S STILL SIX YEARS AND I STILL HAD TO DO IT TOO. :PPPP

TOOTHY-CHAN!

While I agree with the stance that 'RL defriending', because someone is embarassing due to fangirling, is a tricky situation...
Well, perhaps we could think of it this way? Say someone has intolerable manners. As in, obscenely rude. Would you dump them, assuming they had no positive traits equal to or greater than this rudeness?
Or perhaps we should contemplate people that just 'drift apart'. D is interested in mathematics and advanced trigonomic expressions. T is interested in the elusive semicolon and its uses with regards to surrealistic expression. They don't have the same interests. They drift. Is this okay?
What I'm trying to say is that, while fandom is far from SRS BIZNUZZ~~izzle~~, there's also a dimension of reality to it that is often overlooked. Why are people supposed to forgive a fandom 'rabidity' when the local programmer freak is A-OK to dismiss?

...And, as for 'three years'... four, in the US. And, er. Since people that are attending HS are, ~~generally~~, young, those four/three years make up approximately 22% of those people's lives.
