"Someday I'll Be Living in a Big Ol' City"

I saw my old middle school bully at Mongolian BBQ in my hometown tonight.

Ok, middle school is just a mean place. There are almost no fond memories of middle school, because let's face it, puberty is hard and awkward! Anyway, lots of my "friends" were more mean to me than this girl, but this girl was just mean to me for no apparent reason other than she was more popular than me.

I didn't notice her at first, but I heard her familiar voice and I recognized her face.

And she was fully PREGNANT. :D I checked her facebook, and as far as I can tell she's not married. Scandalous.

Why does that make me so happy?

I think Taylor Swift says it very well in her song, Mean. "Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city, and all you're ever gonna be is mean, someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me and all you're ever gonna be is MEAN."

It was kind of satisfying to realize that T-Swizzle's "someday" was TODAY. I'm going to work in a big ol' city somewhere (not totally sure where yet, but I have lots of options and plenty of time). I've got lots of opportunities coming because I'm graduating, and oh yeah, I'm not pregnant.

But of course I didn't tell her that. Heck no. I was sitting at a Mongolian BBQ in a ratty sweatshirt, no makeup, and lots of zits. She's probably thinking the same kinds of stuff about me. (Until she sees my cover picture with a racing Mustang, at least.) ;)

I'm not sure if I have any middle school/high school readers out there, but this is my point. All that stuff they say about how "you should be nice to the nerds, they'll be your boss someday"? Totally. True. So don't fret, my little friends. High school drama just lasts in high school. If you choose to be great, you can be.

You can also choose to be pregnant. Don't. Unless, of course, you're married and its planned. That's all.
