For reasons too bizarre and personal to get into, I have spent the last week feeling like I was reliving Middle School.
And not in a good, fun, play practices, innocent crushes and easy Social Studies classes kind of way.
Just...DRAMA (and not drama club)!
People are passing me notes and today, no kidding, I feel like I was living a plot of Saved by the Bell - which makes me a dumbass, but what can you do? Does he LIKE like you? I don't know. I don't care.
I've decided I need to be pretty calculated about who I talk with and about what.
It's not that I don't trust people, it's that I do trust them and they're sketchy.
And they don't care about protecting my reputation.
So, that's just that.
Because I survived Crabapple Middle School, but I was young and resilient. And I had tons of estrogen and was crazy skinny and OK, sure, weird hair, but not one strand of it was gray.
So if I'm going to survive 6th Floor/7th Grade, I'm going to need to watch my back. I'm older, fatter, grayer, but wiser, funnier, smarter and meaner. I will go Degrassi on your ass in a heartbeat.
And yeah, I'm talking the original Degrassi.
I just wish there were a musical. Oliver Twist saved my ass 27 years ago... what's once more?
