you know i have been burned so many times by love interests and by so called friends too many times...i have been single for 3 1/2 years now but thats not the part that kills me...the part that kills me is that when i broke up with him i broke up with my best friend...i've never been one to get along great with any girls...because quite honestly they are mean manipulative bitches...i found out my so called best friend went out with every guy i had ever dated behind my back...i also found out that she was emailing my ex saying that i'm so pathetic for still being in love with him and what not...now all that has happened well over a year and a half ago...and i did some soul searching and i cleaned house...i decided that i didn't want anymore drama and if anyone was going to bring petty stupid high school drama in my life i didn't need them...the same went for people who broke some serious promises and the back-stabbers...so a year and a half later i sit here wishing now that i had a best like i did...b/c to be honest i had to get rid of a lot well in fact majority of the people in my life when i made that no drama promise to myself...so now i really need a best friend but i have no one to turn to...

i just recently went back to school...i'm going to become a cosmetologist...hair and makeup is my passion...and well i was never good at school...in fact i was lucky to graduate...i hated school...well i still do...i was never one that liked to learn about things that honestly didn't interest me and i always hated the people there...back in grade school i was the fat girl...so i got teased for that...then in high school i was the girl that all the guys liked...not because i had lost weight or because i had (and i quote some douche bag) 'an ass j.lo would kill for'...it was because i understand guys...i love to hang out with the guys...i have one brother and all male cousins so to me hanging with the guys while still being a girly girl came completely natural to me...and of course girls hated that and me...so once i got out of high school i was so happy no more of that i thought i had the best friends that i could ask for then thats when it all went down hill...

so naturally when i went back to school i wanted to make friends...i wanted to have some girl time like i used to have but with out the back-stabbing qualities i oh so loathed...so i was my normal very upbeat positive friendly self...i have no problem starting a conversation with people i don't know...and everyone seemed really nice the first few weeks...
so it was great...i found a group full of nice girls and i'm doing great in school...but then it happened...i'm on the deans list at school...every question they throw at us i know the answer to...every time we learn something new the teacher compliments me by telling me i'm a natural...when they check our hair cuts mines the only one that they say is perfect...so what do all these girls do...the isolate me...they don't even acknowledge me unless it's to throw another dirty look or to direct their next roll of the eyes at...and on the occasion that they do speak to me it's to ask a question that they don't know the answer to...and i'm gracious, i answer them nicely and smile...and honestly it pisses me off but at the same time i'm fine with it...b/c at least i know that i'm not stooping down to their level...that i'm not one of the mean manipulative bitches that i can't stand...

it's times like that, that i really wish i had a best friend again...i just wish i didn't always get tossed the shit stick...i just want to find one single best friend that i know won't turn on me...just one to have my back and to have some girl time with...maybe i'm just too nice?...but i refuse to be one of those bitches...

first off i just want to say that i can remember the most useless information in the world...but when it comes to something important yeah forget it...so here is goes...
