I just hung out with some 7th graders for like an hour. One of them was my friend’s sister and the rest were her girlfriends. They came over to my friend’s apartment after school to borrow some DVDs for a slumber party his sister was having. Anyway, I’m sitting on the couch and all 4 of them came over and sat beside me and as I was talking to them they kept looking up at me with gigantic saucer eyes and big goofy smiles on their faces. They were all, “OMG I love your glasses! Is Canada awesome and do you have a pet moose?! Your blazer is so cool! How do you get your hair like that it’s so nice! Are you here cuz you’re dating Jennifer’s brother, cuz you’re so pretty!”

Then they left and now I miss them. I have a need for praise and a steady stream of compliments. I gotta hang out with more 7th graders. They’re the few people who are crazy impressed by me.
