Just don&#8217;t expect me to have anything resembling the respect you think you command for you, and certainly don&#8217;t expect me to fawn over your group and try to become part of it.  I was on the outside in highschool, and I now understand that this was a very <i>good<\/i> thing.<\/p>\n<p>This is the sort of thing that makes me very glad I don&#8217;t make friends easily, especially in real life.  I have a hard time dealing with this sort of retarded shit.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, my mom IMed me to let me know she was emailing me my sister&#8217;s senior pictures.
