Wake up Bill Gates

So don't get me wrong i think that there have been tremendous advances in modern day technology. We can communicate without verbally saying a word in countless fashions and they have managed to remove all seeds from a once overzealous watermelon. But my request to the tech-geniuses of the world is to make real reality tv. The ability to have your characters from the small screen come to life and be more than just your thursday night must see to being your gal pal, your confidont, your real friend. I could go to Yale with Rori Gilmore, perform open heart surgery with my person Meredith Grey, and shop like it's a sport with my true amigos Rachel Green and Carrie Bradshaw. Okay sure maybe i watch too much T.V. or maybe i don't put enough effort into making real flesh and blood companions but I'm just saying in a world where a lightbulb can heat a brownie and cars parallel park themselves, this isn't too much to ask.

Did nice go out with the Macarena?

So today i was sitting out in the hall, exposed to all the going on at the old edina high when two girls walked past me. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, merely retaking a psychology test i had missed. I didn't look particularly fetching that day, i was wearing a borrowed sweatshirt and about 5 hours worth of jet lag. Anyways the girls walk past me, carrying on their own conversation when the just stop, stop taking stop everything and stare. I figured i must have a bugger or something, or they thought i was someone else because these girls and i were, to put it generously, merely acquaintances. However after this silent pause was over and they went on their way, the girls proceeded to laugh hysterically...at me. What had i done? Did i really look that bad? I realize the red in my sweatshirt and sweatpants didn't exactly coordinate but hey i didn't flip them the bird or anything. I even smiled politely at them as they stared. Were these girls just mean? Did being polite go out of style like UGGs and polygamy? What a world we live in. Or maybe that's just high school.
