Being Sat On
Sep. 16th, 2004 09:28 pmQuestion: Why is Lauren Freve so bitchy to me?
I can't tell if she does it to everyone, if she just thinks it's cute to be sarcastic and acerbic, or if she's targeting me. Everyone who knows her well seems to go on about how nice she is, even how sweet, so maybe they get the sarcasm and I don't-- or maybe she really is against me. In any case, whether I'm a sensitive paranoid person or actually a victim, I don't like the way she acts around me. She used to join forces with Lindsey, it seemed-- but now Lindsey is fine to me, and usually I don't encounter Lauren, but today:
*Everyone is talking.*
Lauren: *Is fine, taking test.*
Me: *Says something along with everyone.*
Lauren: SHUT UP!
Me: *Looks at Lauren.*
Lauren: *Is looking at right at me.*
Me: *Meets Lauren's eyes.*
Lauren: *Raising eyebrows.* "Yeah, that was me."
Me: *Turns away, shaking head.*
Lauren: *to pod, referring to me* "I said shut up . . . "
Am I just paranoid? I don't know. In any case . . . either she's just being her sarcastic, cute self, and I don't get the wit . . . or she likes to be nasty to me. It wouldn't be the first time. This isn't the only case, obviously (I'm not THAT paranoid). I could go on, but I won't, because I feel bad talking about her anyway.
If she does hate me, I find it terribly ironic, considering she was my best friend back in preschool at Hillcrest.
My pathetic list of people that remind me of Fairy:
-The best friend of the star in "The Ultimate Christmas Present", an obscure TV-only movie from 2000, played obscure Disney-only Asian actress.
-Akiko, the somewhat ditzy best friend of the protagonist of my discontinued 8th grade story about a girl who discovers she's a siren.
-Mika, the somewhat ditzy and very perky unrequited lover of my Hamlet, Andy, in my present story
-Lindsey, if she were to become a chronic liar and go off the deep end (WHY ARE THEY ALL ASIAN???).
-Nichole, if she were to become a chronic liar and go off the deep end.
-Luna Lovegood, only more attention-seeking and less vague.
She looks like:
-Me.
-Olivia Hussey-- with glasses (yeah . . . I know).
So this is what I get to bring in and give to Mr. Ong.
I think I want to read prose, and read a chapter of Harry Potter. I've been considering the [crappy] first chapter-- because it doesn't give anything away and it's rather complete in and of itself-- or Snape's Worst Memory. The only part that's a problem with the latter is that no one will know what a Pensieve is for the introduction, and it's rather more giving-away than the others. Also, they're both really long, and I don't know how long they're supposed to be.
I am being Remus again; "James" needs help with his homework and has promised me chocolate.
I have such a screwed-up schedule. I don't know how well I can do Speech and Debate, and YHO as well. I also think we may be visiting colleges over Halloween. This really sucks. I better be back in time to decorate. It's that Sunday evening.
