My
day starts around 6:30, when my alarm goes off the first time.
This is followed by my smacking of the snooze button. Either
that, or just knocking the clock into 3 pieces. I've probably
pieced that thing back together 100 times. Around 7:00, if I'm
not up, and I never am, one of my parents comes in. They then
turn on every light in the room, which causes temporary nerve
shock and keeps me from moving at all. Finally, some time
around 7:15, I get out of bed. First thing I do is find some
clothes. Usually, its the first thing I see. I never really
know what's been washed or not, so I just douse it in some
body spray and hope it doesn't have any stains I don't see. I
take care of the hygiene stuff next (brushing my teeth,
washing my face, wiping my ass, etc.) After that, I pop in my
contacts, run some water through my hair, grab my book bag,
throw on some shoes, stall for about 5 more minutes, then head
out the door.
Before my dad drops me off at school, we have to take my
sister first, which is just horrible. She whines about
everything. I was listening to Paranoid on the radio one
morning, and she starts crying when we pull up to the door
because its, and I quote "Too loud and its crappy,
embarrassing music." Ok, that was Black Sabbath she just
dissed. Well, anyway, after putting up with her shit, it's off
to the high school. Walking into the building, I still don't
feel awake, and I feel uglier than usual for some reason. I
take at least 10 minutes to walk the length of the sidewalk to
the door.
Once I get in the school, it's not long before I run into
somebody I know. 90% of the time it's Mashburn (aka Uncle
Farvis), and he'll give me a friendly smack on the ass to wake
me up. Typically, it's all the same people in the same place.
Mark, Cody, Sneed, Kester...uh...Cricket, Mashburn, and Dean.
Heh...Dean. Sometimes I'll see one of my former friends being
pussy whipped, like Jeff or Joey. Of course, they've actually
got girlfriends, and there's something to be said for that.
They're both getting plenty of ass while I'll probably lose my
virginity to a manatee or something. Anyway, probably after
about 3 minutes the bell rings, and it's off to Latin. Latin
blows. Only good time I've had in there was when I got to
dress like a girl and beat people with my wig. I have no
friends in there at all, except maybe for Tracy. It's just
stuck up seniors, and lesbians. The class is one of those
satellite courses, and the teacher is a boob. He's on the
funny level of the writers of Scooby-Doo: Predictable and
boring. I have a seat next to the wall, which makes for a
great headrest during naps. If I fail any class this year,
it'll be Latin. Most of the time we just take notes. God, so
many notes. So many fucking notes.
The next bell means go to second period, and in my case,
that means Biology. I just hop right across the hallway, and
hot damn, I'm the first one in class, and actually look like a
good student which is eager to learn. Biology is the only
class that I kind of enjoy, and that's only because I can
sleep as much as I want to, draw shit on the desk, or drool
over the nearby pictures of the cheerleaders with Austin.
Plus, I've got Cody right in front of me, which makes for lots
of good STD jokes. We never really do much of anything in this
class...well, I don't anyway. I'll make fun or Sarah for being
a moron, or throw shit at Dan. Endless fun in there.
Next bell rings, and it means its off to the worst period
of the day: Computer apps. Its a pain in the ass before I even
get to the class. First, I have to run through a huge crowd of
black people moving as slow as possible trying to keep their
pants up, then comes Mr. Crain, who stops me nearly everyday
because he thinks I have gum, then comes the huge crowd of fat
people I take 5 minutes to get through, and then there's
Kellyn and Tori who scream at me and punch me for no apparent
reason, and then there's that weird bastard with the goatee
that gives me a hug everyday and tells me everything is going
to be ok. I walk into class, get my disk, and prepare to type
my ass off for the next hour and a half. People think I enjoy
computers like some kind of nerd. Newsflash: I hate computers;
they give me headaches, and the only reason I use them is to
write stuff for this page and talk to people. The only thing
that keeps me sane in class is Brandon Kester (aka Captain
Cucumber), with his Chinese baby video, and his knowledge of
awesome stuff like Weezer and South Park. Lunch is probably at
the perfect time: right in the middle of class.
Lunch typically sucks. 2nd lunch has to be the biggest
group of outcasts on the planet. You've got John Chickylo or
whatever (I just call him Benji..ala Good Charlotte), then
that guy that looks like Shrek, then the lesbians, and then El
Nelson. Basically, I sit down 10 minutes, do my eating of
food, then go outside with Kester and Mark, and we'll sit on a
bench just waiting for capree girl to come outside. Pretty
soon, lunch ends, and its back to gay old Computer
Applications for more gay typing. Huge group of dumbasses in
that class. I�ve not done an bit of work over the past week,
and I�m still like 4 days ahead of everybody except Brandon
and that gay bastard that designs video games. It�s
impossible to fall asleep in here, because there is no way to
get comfortable. Damn , I hate that class.
Bell rings, and its off to World History next door. I hate
the class itself, but at least I can do some sleeping in
there. Nobody really nearby to talk to except J and Beason.
Otherwise I�m surrounded by preppy girls who wouldn�t give
me the time of day. So, I just let J draw bulls eyes on my
neck and let Sneed throw shit at me from across the room. The
rest of the day in there consists of checking out the hot
teacher from East Gaston (she�s hot...don�t care what the
rest of you haters think), getting all my jokes stolen by 9th
graders, and laughing at that Tieler bastard for being the
biggest queer on the planet. This class never seems to end.
Those last 45 minutes kick my ass. Once school lets out, the
real pain starts.
Depending on who picks me up, my day can go bad in two
different ways. My grandmother picking me up means 10,000
questions. My mom picking me up means I get to hear about how
she hates everything. I've probably not gone a day without
starting some kind of argument with my mom since I learned to
speak in complete sentences. We sit in line at the middle
school for like 20 minutes, and then my sister gets in the
car, and I get to hear about how she hates everything. Any
normal human would crack under these circumstances, but not
me. I sit in that car and take it like a man. Guess I have my
mom and sister to thank for my ability to deal with bitchy
people. When I get home, I just lock myself in my room for the
next 4 hours and play some guitar or do homework if I have
any. This is the only time of the day I enjoy, except for
those 30 seconds after I wake up before I realize how much my
life sucks. Afterwards, I�ll eat some dinner, then go
driving in my car with my dad (get my license in
October..hopefully my life will suck less then.) After I get
home, I�ll spend an hour or so online, then go play guitar
till about midnight, then take a shower, watch a little Leno,
and get to sleep. Then everything starts all over again.
