Awww, my deariest, I know you're in a bad mood, but I just got home from work and I have tomorrow off, and school's out, so I'm happy and bouncing off the walls [dun worry, I'll crash in about a minute]. So I was reading your post, and because you're a kewliers friend than most people I know in real life, I just had to say something.
To start, yes, I know what you're feeling. When I was in middle school, all I could think about was being popular. I still wanted to be my own person, but I wanted to have tons of friends surrounding me and everything. Then I matured, and realized that's not what life is about. Some people mature like that, some people earlier than others. But there will always be some people who think popularity is the goal in life, that when you die, you're judged by how many people remember you. That's how some people are.
My advice - and there's no nice way to put this - is to get over it. That's the moral of life. If something sucks, get over it, because it sure as hell ain't gunna change. Humans are a freak of nature, we're greedy idiots who don't understand a thing. But we can't help it. Insects can't help that they're annoying, hippos can't help but be fat, and we can't help but be stupid. It's our nature not to understand. And so, we do stupid stuff. The thing you've got to do is understand both sides. I've realized lately that I'm not getting so mad as often because I can see both sides of everything [and when I realized this, life was grand... still is nice to be able to not get mad about stupid stuff]. Think if you were popular... it'd feel nice to have someone always there to talk to, people who look up to you, and people you look up to, all in the same congregation. And yes, you've probably got a ton of friends, but isn't two always better than one? These people see the quantity over the quality. If you can see it the opposite way, you're a very lucky person.
Stick with the friends you've got. Don't let them do stupid shit. Be honest! Tell your friend that you don't think it's good for her to be drinking. What's the worst that could happen? She yells at you and stops being your friend? Then she wasn't a good friend in the first place. If she listens, she might realize you're right, and she might be thankful one day when being a sober driver saves her ass. If there's anything I've learned by having only a few close friends, it's that the closer and better they are, the more they value your opinions.
But popularity is always cool. With my new job, I've got a bunch of new friends, and it's a really awesome feeling to be able to walk through the park and wave to bunches of people that I know. It's so cool to be able to talk with my coworkers about anything. The more friends you've got, the more you can talk about. I can talk about certain things with my best friend, but there are some things I could only say to a not so close friend. Having the different levels really is cool and helpful.
Anyways, I hope you got anything out of this post. I just got home from work and I can't even type right. I'm having to use the backspace sooooo much..... God, I'm tired..... *huggies* Tomorrow I'll post all my new flirty guy stories that happened in the last two days, bwahahaa.
