So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
I hate kids.

Stupid school holidays.

I'm trying to get some work done at a local coffee shop and there are friggin' SCHOOLCHILDREN in here, drinking caffeinated drinks and talking on their stupid cell phones about things that no one but a prepubescent preteen would talk about.

SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OUT OF MY EARSHOT YOU BASTARDS!

Ugh.

Trying to work...

It's depressing....
...because when I look back on my earlier years, I fear I may have been one of those irritating, prebuescent preteens (but minus the cell phone).

Everytime I have to teach a jump rope workshop I praaaay I get to teach the advanced group...not only is it more fun to teach kids who can actually do stuff, but they're not four foot tall and up in your face squawking 24/7

HAHAHA
Now I'm glad I didn't leave the house for two days--ok, one and a half.

re:comment--Oh, man. I agree, but the yardsticks seem to be a staple in the culture. It's almost a primal survival instinct for them to do so. And the grudges? Think of all the relationships destroyed or soured from it...I hope yours with your sis doesn't get that result. All I can say is: spend more time with her, stay close, and she won't give a damn about what other people say. Hopefully. If she likes you enough. Put in the effort! (^-')=b

oh I hate how annoying kids are. parents have to bring some of their children with them to the store when they go shopping and that's when the yelling and screaming starts. other's just let their preteens loose in the store and they just like to touch and fuck with everything. sometimes I wish I could just punch one of them in the face. too bad I'd be sent to jail for it =/

re:
I think the ones that are infected are bites. they're more circular and deeper. his claws just scrape across my skin. the skin around the wounds are really red, but the only thing coming out of them besides blood is this clear liquid. which I don't think would be pus. it's still incredibly sore and walking is definitely not fun {they're on the back, lower part of my calf; right on the muscle} now I've got my mom's perscription antibiotic ointment that she was given when she hit her head, so I hopefully I should be alright. I appreciate your help. I know almost nothing about caring for wounds ... mostly because I don't ever do it.

So like, and yeah!

Kids don't need cell phones.
I only use mine for important stuff, and I didn't get it until my 15th birthday. That irritates me.
