Well, we can forget that modeling class CD now. I'm not going back to that class. I went there to learn how to stand up straight and without tripping over myself. I learned how to hold up my head and strut through Chicago making me look like I knew what I was doing there.

I did NOT, however, go to have someone tell me how to act in the rest of my life, what type of people to hang out with, what to wear.... no. Here are the rules of life: You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't send Sam Raimi to do Peter Jackson's job, and you don't tell Rio what to do. I mean, she started off by saying that we won't start being an individual until we're around 25. Apparently we won't have any life experience until then. I'm not even going to bother with that speech anymore. I've got life experience to spare, thank you, don't tell me that I'm not an individual yet. She said that we have to act a certain way to attract certain people to be our friends. We have to have an inner circle of friends, and an outer circle. Outer circle friends should never be allowed into the inner circle. Keep your friends separate. And only hang out with people who will 'better' you.

Thank you, but I pick my friends by who is fun to hang around with, someone who doesn't annoy me to death, and people that don't make me mad. If you fit those three simple criteria, then you can be one of my friends. It's really not hard to do at all. I will NOT have some lady who claims to know me telling me how to pick my friends.

That's the other thing. She says she's good at reading people, and that she can see as soon as we come in what we're thinking about and how we're feeling that day. I don't like people assuming that they know me by first impressions. When I walk into that classroom, I suddenly try to look like I know what I'm doing in that class. I put on high heels and pretend to know how to walk in them. I hold my head up and pretend like I'm supposed to be on that runway. You can't tell from that that I am a Sci-Fi geek who hates the Sci-Fi channel for canceling Stargate. You don't see that I love learning about other cultures. You can't see that I'm a computer geek. You don't see what sort of friends I hang out with, and you don't know why I like them. So don't presume you know anything about me just by the way I'm standing.
