April Fools!

Book: NONE ( no joke, I'm not reading a book)
Word 'O' The Day: queer - odd, strange, different
Feeling: disgustingly icky
      Some people pulled some pretty mean pranks today. This girl came, left then came back. She was known for asking people out no matter the age. Today some guys wanted to ask her out and if she said yes the they would yell "April Fools" in her face. I felt really bad hearing this. She isn't the greatest person but she totally doesn't deserve to be treated so bad. There were some girls who went out of their way to make sure there was no room for her at their lunch table, where her best friend sits with her boyfriend(this actually happened the first day this girl was back). When I mentioned this to a friend she told me I should inform this girl of the prank and made it sound like it was my fault people didn't like her (that friend would be one of the people who doesn't like her). People can be so cruel. Most, myself included, can't see things from another point of view. This girl has been through a lot, two divorces and a split up of possible parents, everyone who is mean doesn't look at those facts. I don't know if I'm totally gung-ho for a crack down on bullying in some places. It may stop cruel things like this prank, but there are a lot of jokes between friends that could be misunderstood by on lookers. On to happier things. It's April, that's good. National Poetry Month. Speaking of that, this website I really like is having a poetry contest for it being National Poetry Month. http://www.authorstop.com/contests I don't really know what to enter yet. It's a pretty small website, so it's not like your winning $1 million but it's still fun to enter, like practice for bigger and better things.
     You know what I hate? People who say "I can't wait for the real world, for my life to start." Your life has started! For heaven sakes, you have been living in the real world from the moment you were born. Your life is your choices shaped by the choices of others. Well, it's late and now I'm ranting...
