Popularity IS Everything

So i almost feel bad for not posting for so long... i mean, typing was a pain when the splint on my finger made it so everytime i tried to type the letter "a" i would hit the caps key, like this, for exAMPLE AND IT WAS REALLY ANNOYING. anyways, i decided it was time to post a bit.

It is said so often that it has become cliche: "popularity isnt' everything." I hope i'm not the first to tell you this, people, but that is a damn lie. popularity is aybe the most important thing in the world. nerdy people with no freiends don't actually grow up to be rich, accomplished people; they stay nerdy losers, and work low-paying, low-reward, dead-end jobs, while living at home with their parents and wearing tie-dye shirts with dragons and such all over the front, or by taking pictures of themselves in a serious position in their unfinished basement (i can see him there in 20 years, can't you sean?) Those that do succeed in life, namely bill gates, are freak coincidences.
Look at your own life, probably even your own school. how many times do you remember thinking, "Gee, i wish peole beat me up, " or "why do i have to be stuck with so many friends" or "I wish i was picked last for the team" or even "i wish i could bitch about being such a loser and pray that some female takes pity on me and pretends to give a damn." it's just not that way. No one wants to be the kid that smells bad or the one that stalks an underclassmen and coerces them to go to a school dance with us. we want to be asked to MORP, not be asked to clean up after MORP because we don't have any other plans.
So, the next time someone tells you that popularity isn't eerything, take pity on them and rememer that they are trying to make themselves feel better because "they can't stop trying..." (what the hell is that supposed to mean???) Then, get away quickly so as not to be associated with such a feeble member of society.

The same can be said about those that say "look's aren't everything." They are. It is a sad world that we live in, but sometimes some of us have to live in our own fairy tale worlds in order to deal. I retreat to mine quite often. I'll say that miracles happen, but I'll never doubt in the materialistic nature of human beings.

I agree with you on the popularity and beauty contest. I have seen so many plastic surgery stories that people bring in the picture of their idolized actor/actress and want to have their body. Makes me sick!! I hope to go into the medical field and have one major in Paramedic and one in Corrective Surg. Not freakin' plastic surgery. Popularity is just something that has always been there and will never go away. The only thing that changes is what group is "cool" at the time.

very true. Some people were born to look good and be liked, some people stumble upon it. I know some really cute girls that, 6 years ago, wouldn't have been touched with a ten foot pole. On the other hand, some people still don't even get the pole.

For instance, take overweight girls who want really badly to look like a model...to all of you: even if your shirt boasts '5% spandex' doesn't mean that it looks sexy, just because it BARELY FUCKING FITS and makes all your jiggling parts squeeze out in the places where your clothing can't contain it...

Bad news, people. If you're not sucessful at something (sports for me), then pursuit of it is futile. Same goes with looks (Either that or move to a country where cellulite, large birth marks, greasy hair, and odd facial features are a sexual fetish).

I'd have to disagree. I guess This is one of those places where Canada and America differ.

I lived, for a long time, in a small town in canada, and I didn't find that there were popular or unpopular people, there were just different people with different interests, but no one was better or worse than anyone else. I think the main reason there are cliques is because of differing interests. I mean of course, what does someone who would be clasified as a nerd have to do with someone whose main goal in life is to shop?

I find that different groups didn't shun eachother, they just didn't have a lot in common. But in the end everyone knew everyone, despite said differences we all hung out together and went to the same parties, and such.

There really is no hierarchy of popularity unless you think there is one.

Although I disagree about popularity, I agree about looks, it's only natural for better looking people to get ahead. As close to perfection as I am, I know I'm gonna need either a chin or nose job to really get ahead and gain respect. Of course being taller and having a penis would help too, but those aren't really things I can change. Well I could, but not really.

One day I came home and found this morbid, rotting man sitting in the chamber of 10001 luscious virgin maidens in our house. He was an alien from a planet called Teflon. He said his anal impactor 4000 had run out of jive turkey sucka and he had had to make an emergency landing on Earth!. I told him that we didn't have any jive turkey sucka but that we did have some thief in the night and he said it might work if it was so so good enough. Thank goodness it was! The alien thanked me and filled up his anal impactor 4000. When he flew away he took our second-hand pool skimmer, an electric poptart and our neighbour's pet 3 legged giraffe to show to the people on his planet. I was sinfully painful when he flew away, but he said he would come back soon, and he would let me drive his rickety old raping machine of stolen innocence. Maybe we will fly away to a distant planet like peak of orgasm. That would be neat!
