rosejailmaidenSpring break started today. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my school who's not totally psycho about it.
I mean, it's just a week off school. Maybe I'm not all that enthusiastic about it, but that doesn't mean I'm just upset that I'm not going to Florida or anything, like someone in Literature implied today. I'm just as happy, if not happier, staying in Indiana with the crappy weather and writing fanfiction, playing Super Smash Bros. Melee, and watching anime as I would be on the beach. And everyone else in my class (the seniors) seem enthusiastic for all the wrong reasons. I mean, all I've heard people talking about is drinking. I even heard someone in Econ talking about how he needed money from his friends so his older brother could buy a keg. And I'm just sitting here wanting to say, "You idiots just want to go and screw your lives up? Is that why you all love spring break so much? So you can go to Florida, get wasted, and maybe end up doing something you'll regret the most of your lives?" But the last time I brought up how using a tanning bed gives you cancer, people thought I was some kind of Commie or something. Yes. Not wanting you to die from melanoma makes me a Communist. Nice.
Really, they're so stupid. We have these assemblies every year on how drunk driving kills people with all these sob stories and stuff and people will go on and on during study hall about how this one presenter made them cry and whatnot, but then I go out in the hall and hear people bragging about how wasted they got during the weekend, or how wasted they're going to get over spring break, or how wasted they are now, and I just want to beat the shit out of them. I know people consider me a dork and stuff for just playing video games and not wanting to take any stupid risks, but at least I'm not trying to f- up my life. Even though I write a lot of angsty stuff on this journal, I wonder sometimes if I'm actually going to be better off later on than some of my classmates.
Meh. I know this stuff's annoying to read, my bitching, but I had to get it out somehow. LJ ended up being the victim.

So messed up.
Really? The Catholics I've met were all no drinking types!

Kinda like with Muslims, really, when you think about it.
