Friends

So I've made a few friends, but the majority of people I've met have been undeniably annoying and/or ignorant and/or stupid. I'm not picky about my friends, but the prep levels at this school are practically off the charts. However, there are always the seldom few whom one can find solace with.

I met a girl today in physics, she just moved here, and her name is Philly. Not really, but that's what I'm calling her on here. We knd of bonded over both being the new kids and both feeling like the math teacher we both have is a blaring idiot. So anyway, right after physics, we went to get coffee, and we got to talking a ton and basically, our souls are possibly identical twins.

I swear to God, it's like she's the east-coast version of me. She's mad chill and likes partying too, but is still intelligent and dresses well. It's like every time I mentioned something about myself, she'd be that way too. It's like a divine fucking omen, like we were meant to be buds.

I can see this friendship going places, for sure, and I hope it goes positively, but I have reservations because this is the way it started with Em. I don't know if I've told you guys about how things are right now, but here's the way it is:

When I first met Ember, I thought she had best buddy potential, and for a while, she did. But now, she brings drama into every situation that she's a part of and I can barely stand to be around her.

Em has been continually fucking Lionboy and I over for a while now, but it's gotten really bad recently. Like, bad to the point that I've begun ignoring her texts and making up excuses not to be around her. Bad to the point that Lionboy and I have begun making our rave plans without her being part of the equation. We are both fairly fed up, but I personally cannot handle her pissyness, nor her complete lack of consideration and utter disregard for the privacy, time, emotions, wallets, and obligations of those around her. She is inconsiderate, irresponsible, and ignorantly selfish, and I'm beyond done with it.

But enough venting. My point here is that when making new friends now, especially when they seem to have that kind of potential right out of the gate, I have concerns. I'm concerned especially because Philly is so much like me. I hope she doesn't turn out to be as self-centered as Em, because Philly seems really chill and I need chill in my life right now.

On the bright side of things, I've been asked to perform my poetry piece again this year for a bunch of freshman English classes. The teacher was like, could you maybe do this? Oh, and it's tomorrow.

Heh. So I suppose I'm going to be slamming for freshmen again.. I should probably go practice...
