I'm babysitting and I'm bored

I'm pretty sick of getting discouraged in English.  I obviously realize that there are students in the class who take words and make them into art and are awesome at explaining themselves and thinking of ideas but I just feel like I should at least be in the top half of my class and I'm not.  It makes me not want to write much anymore.  Which  is stupid, because I obviously like writing I'm just kind of tired of sucking at it and it's pretty difficult to actively work on improving something that has always felt natural.  What I mean by that is, I don't really think about the way I'm saying what I want to say so much as I typically just let it come from my fingertips onto the paper (or, less romantically, the screen) and then at the end I look it over and maybe change to words but really I just kind of do it naturally.  And I like how I write.

So whatever I guess.  Stop sippin' the haterade.

I know I've already talked about girl lingo and shit girls say that piss me off but this THIS SHIT
"I don't want to be the girl you call hot; I want to be the girl you call beautiful."

...not that the person who writes that ever knows that it oughtta be a semicolon or colon instead of a comma
but moving on, this is so annoying in so many ways.  let's count them.
1.  While I realize that being called beautiful as like, a surprising thing, is nice, I swear to god it typically sounds insincere for some reason to me.  Which might be an indicator of self esteem issues or whatever, but it's not.  I practically drip with confidence.  But I can stay from experience that when a guy whispers You're not hot; you're BEAUTIFUL it really feels nothing short of fake and scripted.  There aren't cameras around, what's the point of denying yourself the risk and joy of coming up with your own words.
2.  I'm not trying to say that guys shouldn't call girls beautiful-- that's their perogative.  But girls should stop being so demanding and should stop watching romantic comedies/novel-turned-movie Nicholas Sparks shit.  I believe that love will happen wonderfully and uniquely and it will be awesome and you'll have your stories to tell one day no matter what, you shouldn't ruin them by writing the dialogue ahead of time.
3.  Being hot is not a bad thing.

Another quote that was cute when I was 12 and is not cute now:  Shoot for the moon, cuz even if you miss you'll land among the stars <3333

BLECH PUKE GROSS STOP IT
If I was on a space mission to the moon, I would get pretty pissed off if I landed among the stars for the record.

And that is how I would like to conclude this post.

  1. Ah I should start posting again, you're reminding me why I write. Same thing happened to me last week with my English essay. My teacher wrote "Good! Looks like you'll be ready for AP! Just be ready for Mrs. Klenz to teach you the AP way to write" .. ... bleecchhhhh I write how I write because I like how it sounds in my head. It should always come out right! Ugh. And yeah being called hot is the bomb diggety
