<< I am an "Embarrassment"? >>

God, I hate it here. I really, truly, honestly hate it here. What has caused this sudden change of heart from the girl who vowed to give it her all? Well, she went to a sorority event.

The fraternities and sororities were putting on a dance show tonight with all of the procedes going to charity. Out of loyalty to Erin and a bit of curiousity as to what the dances would look like, I went. Boy, what a mistake that was.

As we left the dorm, Brittany joked that I needed to walk faster because she and I have a tendency to stray from the pack and walk ahead (we call it "the Cleveland walk"). Well, I was wearing shoes that my mom had sent me in the mail and they had started to give me blisters. So I wasn't walking well. Understandable, right? So in order to catch up to Brittany, I did a funny little run. Granted, part of it was for a laugh, but my feet really hurt!

It was at this point that Amy (Have I ever talked about her before? She is from Chicago and I have probably talked about her as being clingy.) said, "God, I hope you don't do that in front of my sorority sisters." My response was, "Well, Amy, I'm sorry that I am such an embarrassment to you." She didn't deny that she thought I was an embarrassment, but rather remained silent. Ouch.

It happened later when Chris asked if we could boo people during the show (a guy from our dorm who is a real jerk was in the show and he would have been the ONLY one we booed). Amy completely flipped out on us! She said that we were rude and disrespectful and how on earth would she ever explain it to her sisters. Brittany, her biggest advocate in the dorm, told her that she didn't have to sit with us if that was the case. But Amy didn't let it drop there. She continued to tell us that we were rude and disrespectful the rest of the way to the arena.

First of all, we would never REALLY boo anyone. Matt (the guy we hate) is just a jerk and would have it coming if we did boo him. And I don't need a lesson on manners from Amy, for she can be a real bitch sometimes (she was one of the people trying to get Erin and I to change our birthday plans to fit her needs). And for her to be yelling at Brittany and me, two people she claims to want to spend more time with, is just dumbfounding to me. I feel especially bad for Brit, because she keeps giving Amy a chance where I try to blow her off (she just keeps coming back...).

I guess what hurts the most is that someone called me an embarrassment. That has never, NEVER happened to me before. I know I am an animated personality, but I thought I showed at least a bit of decorum. I didn't realize that I couldn't goof off on the sidewalk when no one was around. I'm not in the wrong here, I know. It just hurts to be called a name.

I hate it here. I hate that people are so freaking caught up in image that they don't RELAX. God...it is Spring Break yet?
