Why hello all, firstly I would like to thank Ms. C. for giving me the opportunity to creep on strangers this time I have cause. Since the recent heartbreak (my iPod broke) I have become dependent on the conversations of others to entertain me on my 15 minute bus ride to and from school. This assignment was made for me and my stealthy or otherwise referred to stalker-like ways. My first victims were a group of fifteen year olds (I am making a superficial assumption considering the tacky leg warmers that were so last year / two decades ago and also their love for the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus suggests a naive quality that could only belong to said age group). This group of girls were discussing the party on Saturday picking up on some words here and there I quickly tuned in.
I actually laughed out loud on several different occasions listening to these young girls discuss alcohol and drugs and sexual activity as if it were cool and normal. I was probably like them at one point, I probably thought the same things and acted the same way what do I know and it's not like I am so much older and wiser but I feel as though I am. One girl who was atrociously skinny and had hair that was reminiscent of Whitney Houston and Barbara Walters, an odd choice yes but so was this girls hair, any who, she rambled on and on about how while she was up-chucking in the sink her crush " the hottest guy in E.Y " came in and asked if she was okay just to quickly turn around and leave. Yeah, sounds like he is a great catch and cares a whole lot. I couldn't help but feel utterly sorry for her, she would live to regret this behaviour soon enough and bragging about it won't make it all better.
I don't know why society has placed partying as a top priority and the main source of everything fun and cool but my idea of a great time involves all of my friends in Kat's basement playing Rockband, eating food and or watching a great movie ( preferably the movie ends in our sides hurting from so much laughter or our eyes swollen from so many tears).Some may call that entirely lame I wouldn't care to be honest; at least when I look back to my High-school years I can remember getting 99% on Living on a Prayer and not having leftover spaghetti in my hair and ruined shoes.

I hope you weren't too embarrassed when you laughed out loud on the bus =P. Sounds like your enjoying this a little too much my friend :P
ReplyDeleteWell, since I was lucky enough to have my blog graced by your wonderful comment, I wanted to return the favour :). Just wanted to say that this was pretty entertaining and that you forgot to mention Singstar in your list of cool things to do.
ReplyDeleteYesss for closet stalker-types (I am one, myself). I hear so many conversations like that everywhere in our school. I've never been to parties like that, so I guess I can't really relate to what they're going through, but from my perspective it seems like a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteThey seriously talk about this stuff and think its cool? Somebody needs to give them a reality check, or just a slap in the face.
ReplyDeleteI like your style of writing Jenna. It's very real and unique.
ReplyDeleteYou ask where these kids get the idea that partying is fun. Have you seen any teen movies lately? :)
Should I be afraid of how much you're enjoying this Jenna? :)
don't u like that im not even in this class yet creep on it? jenna i have one upped u on stalking :)
ReplyDeleteI taught her all she knows Mz. C!
ReplyDeletePs. This post was amazing Jenna! I actually really liked it. I have also been growing a deep resentment for a lot of teenaged girls in the past years. I don't know why, they just make me angry. I guess it is for the exact same reasons you've mentioned.
PPS. I know Mz. C misses me LOTS! I am sorry that i haven't visited, but I don't know which rooms you have. I can't get into your english class either. Darn. At least the Shipmeister gave me the highest mark in his class already.
And dammit, Sonja commented before me!
it seems as though i have one upped dion as well. *pats self on back*
ReplyDeleteHaha, well I want you all to know that I infact am not walking around with a camera taking creepy photos without peoples knowledge. I always ask first. Kidding! So Mz. C there is no need to worry. Also I would like to just say I don't like to hate on the younger generations it's not their faults they are so delusional its the media's.
ReplyDeleteI love you sonja, and you can one up me anytime ; ) & Dion stop using me to get to the teacher she is mine now * evil laugh*
OHhhhh so this is why you were hiding in my washroom taking pictures of my gorgeous body while I was in the shower. And, I see someone hates female teenagers with a passion.
ReplyDeleteP.S. How on earth are Dion and Sonja still commenting on our blogs? Vamoose!!! You are not wanted here.
Hahaha... This was amazing! It was very entertaining and provided me with several laughs! I agree with Mz. C, if television didn't put the "alcohol, partying and so on" image in our minds would teenagers be this way? If this way of having fun was not always being shoved in our faces I doubt teenagers would feel as compelled to 'party hard' over the weekends. I'm not sure why anyone would want to ever get to the point where they are hanging over the toilet. If your going to drink....one must know their LIMITS.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty awesome
ReplyDeleteBut I....have to admit that i got 100% on Living on a Prayer on Expert vocals....And Guitar..but not drum =(....I <3 Bon Jovi..haha
Nice one Yenna
