Dear. God.
I was SO FREAKING PISSED today. I went Sasha-zilla, killing off the townsfolk and breathing freaking fire. Mmyep, so ranty and pissy that I actually talked to Spot- okay, I ranted. I ranted to him. Like, "RARARARARARAR" ranting. Well, I guess this IS a journal...
...
Okay, I'll rant one more time.
So today was the huge fundraiser, called the "Round Up", our high school auction. People came in cowboy garb, and there was food and tickets to get in, a silent auction, and an auctioneer yelling into his mic stuff the audience couldn't understand. Whoo. So, I stayed after school, AGAIN, because Doc (the drama teacher) wanted me to pick out a solo pantamime for districts. Yeah, thanks for asking me ONE DAY BEFORE I HAVE TO PREFORM IT. So, instead, I just messed around with Tim's pantimime group, subbing in for people who were helping with the round up. I figured I'd just say "Gah, screw it," to doing a solo pantimime. I have too much on my plate currently, kthnx.
After this, I figured, "What the hell. Most of my friends that stayed after school are staying for the round up too. I'll be helpful and put in time. Maybe get some extra credit." See, I wasn't planning on even showing up that thing. I could've went home, or signed up for NHS (National Honors Society) to do this with. But the Drama group needed me with the silent auction, so that's where I was. Seems pretty reasonable. So I won't get NHS hours for it. That's fine. At least I helped, right?
So about two hours into this thing, I'm starved. And we get free dinner out of the deal, too. So, I talked to everyone about dinner, and we decided that no one else was going through. So I happily hopped over there, asked for a plate and was asked for a ticket. This is how it went down:
"Uh, I'm sorry- I don't have a ticket. But, you see, I'm with the Drama group that are doing the silent auction. I was told I could have free food now."
"Oh, oh, no. No. The drama department doesn't get food. At least, not yet. First, NHS has to go. And then, the outdoor club. You can have the scraps by closing."
SCRAPS. BY. CLOSING?! She was giving me a glare, and I was glaring right back.
"Great. Thanks." And I turned on my heel and left. What the hell? Closing's at TEN. O'. CLOCK. DAMMIT. I've been starving since 7 P-freaking-M. Oh, and so we aren't WORKING AS HARD? And what're you doing, just SITTING THERE, TAKING EFFING TICKETS?! We've organized the silent auction. We've been on our feet, moving, shuffling, and making sure we close stuff down on time, making sure people don't tuck stuff in their coats and just walk out. We're patrolling, while, OOH, HOW MUCH SKILL DO YOU THINK GOES INTO SLOPPING BEANS ON A PLATE?! Apparently, you think that it takes a whole lot.
We're all equal, like it or not. I'm fine and dandy letting you guys get food first, because you've been serving at, and probably drooling the whole time. I understand that. I understand, that, if the outdoor club was there ahead of me, then yeah, that's how lines work. First come first serve. But you can't DENY me free, promised food, because you don't think I'm working hard enough or just because you hate what I love, drama.
Scraps. By. Effing. Closing. No. Once everyone was done, once I was a dying mush of starvation, I walked up to the table again, and said, "I. Am. Hungry. Give. Me. Food." And basically, it worked out. Because, oh yeah, there wasn't a full fledged bitch running the ticket table.
What's her beef with the drama department anyways? Why was she taking it out on me? Oh, and, uh, DURR, I'M IN NHS.
Well, God, I don't want to be in the Nerd Herd if that's all you do. Isn't the NHS pledge something along the lines of "Always be helpful and polite?" You should know, because you're, what? Co-president?
We're all effing equal. And I'm even in your precious Nerd Herd. We're all putting in our time. We should get equal benefits, no matter WHO THE HELL WE ARE.
I really hate people like that.
... I'm going to bed now.
