also i was never a frat boy.
no subject
also fine what do you want to call it
no subject
i think that is what it maybe was.
no subject
youre popular now
youre thinking of a different subset of the high school experience
or a different brand of popular really
no subject
or just in that group of people who didn't care outside of their own sphere because you could control who was in and who was out.
no subject
no subject
no subject
but also i meant
did you use it
no subject
i just never said anything about it.
and i had control on a lot of aspects.
just not the things i really wanted because those were impossible.
but the perks of being popular were nice.
no subject
and like what perks of being popular did you use anyway
color me curious
no subject
it's dumb.
and the perks were getting a lot of free food and free passes to stuff and free booze.
it was kind to get this stuff and then be able to share it.
no subject
do you miss being "popular" at all
tmw you miss entire words *it was kind of cool
and no not really because it was kind of tiring and i did not care a lot about a lot of the things my friends did after a while.
the thing i liked most was being surrounded by people, but i like people here better.
i gotchu
it mostly sounds lonely
no subject
um. i mean i was always around people so i guess in a physical sense i was surrounded by people and that made things a little okay.
i didn't have to think about it much since i had a lot of people i was hanging out with whether they were guys from the soccer or baseball team or other jocks or vic and her friends or people i met in elementary or middle school.
it was nice to have a list of people i could go to and hang out with if someone else was busy.
[But yes, it was weirdly lonely and it's really only since coming here that he's figured out the difference.]
no subject
no subject
that doesn't make it bad.
no subject
back when we met in that dream bubble here
when i was being semi jealous and cross questioning you on best friends
and i thought for like a portion of time i was just dreaming and my unconscious mind was being a dick and not even cooperating on that
did you get a letter jacket
how much of a prototypical jock were you
no subject
i guess i have always been kind of isolated despite trying to be in people's space.
i probably had best friends in elementary school and stuff.
and i had people i called best friends in high school.
but we never were like...like this.
i don't know.
i think that is why i was kind of jealous of my past life me.
i had you three back then.
i didn't here.
and it makes a world of a difference.
also no i didn't bother with a letter jacket.
kind of felt like a waste even though i lettered.
no subject
but at the time it felt like a disproportionately huge deal
because id spent like half a year wanting you around and anyone who had a leg up on getting to know you was clearly out to get me specifically
which i also knew was dumb
but it was like ok who do i have to throw down with to get a foothold on my bro status
ill slap heather in a parking lot if i have to
i mean probably not but yeah
felt like a waste to get one or not get one
no subject
as someone who has been slapped before.
but i get it. knowing what i know now, i get it.
and it felt like a waste to get one when i came to the startling conclusion that high school was bullshit.
but the letter itself is actually under the bed.
no subject
not my particular style of violence
what did you do to get slapped though
do you want to hang the letter up or something
no subject
long story.
and no. it is fine in the box under the bed.
no subject
some quarterback
[ wrong sport and position. ]
no subject
