Hi, uh... I'm new here. You think I should try out for the cheerleading squad? Really? Ohmygod, that's so cool! OK, so the tryouts are on Friday night at the bus station, and I should bring a raw chicken for the food bank. AWESOME! I'll be there.

posted by loquacious 07 March | 16:36
This actually happened in various classes multiple times. I feel sorry for some of my old teachers. They'd call on me when I was passed out at my desk, I guess hoping to call me out and show me for a fool or something. I'd answer succinctly and correctly and go back to sleep. I guess there's advantages to being a voracious reader and reading all of your textbooks for the year in the first week. It was probably really, really infuriating to said teachers, but, hey, I've always been a night owl, and if you aren't going to engage me at my level then I'm going to take a nap.

There is no afterlife. We we all cease to exist. We will all die alone.

We are all robots and animals, machines blindly converting matter from one form to another.

Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, but order is never preserved except locally and ephemerally.

Ultimately no one cares, and no one should. We will not be mourned; we will not even be remembered. Billions preceded us, billions will follow, and none matter.

We are insignificant in the universe, and there is no One who will clasp us to His breast.

Our curse is to know this.

Internal monologue: What's worse, standing up for the Pledge or not standing? I believe in this country, but I detest enforced patriotic ritual. The act of requiring the saying of the Pledge stands in direct opposition to the sentiment it expresses. But is my protest a sincere attempt to call attention to our hypocrisy and incite meaningul debate, or simply an adolescent attempt to rebel and be noticed for something? I don't know. Did I forget my lunch again?

posted by tommasz 07 March | 17:49
miko: hahahaha. Just after graduating high school (1982), all three of my closest friends had their ears pierced and wore an earing. That guaranteed that I would not do the same until some much later date. When that time arrived, about 3 years later, I pierced both ears myself and wore two earings.

posted by elizard 07 March | 18:03
Oh, also, if this were really high school, there'd be a one-in-five or so chance that I wouldn't answer the roll call because I was truant. I have the sense that this isn't how mefites or mechazens see me or would expect to have been the case. I'm actually still pretty angry, 24 years later, at how much of a colossal waste of time high school was for me. And that's even accounting for how often I didn't bother to go.

posted by mygothlaundry 07 March | 20:37
When we got too many lates or cuts, we had to have in-school suspension. For me, this was like throwing Brer Rabbit in the briar patch. What? You want to put me in a quiet room all day with a mixed bag of reprobates and weirdos, and let me just read books and pass secret notes all day? It was like a vacation.

Dear Sir,

Please excuse Jennifer from todays test on The Metymorosis Mettymoreosis the current asigned text as she has lost her newer pair of glasses and has to use an old pair so she can't read the test paper or write correctly until next week. Thank you.

Love, my Jenny's mom.

Thank you Mitheral, for fixing the computer. I don't know how you do that!

Class, you should take this lesson and try to be more like Mitheral, instead of trying to get away with everything all the time.

Okay, why the giggles? Is it funny that Mitheral helped me?
