I out-perked the perky today. I think I frightened several of my classmates. ("Katie, you're...giddy...")
I blame my dad. I was talking to him last night, still upset over what's been going on at school. I told him if I had to go in and bear Jess and them being all perky one more time... He responded, "Well, why don't you just out-perk them all?" "Okay!" I said. And I did.
It was rather disturbing. Actually, it made my day go well; it was disturbing for the people who have me stereotyped as the cranky sarcastic chick.
Speaking of stereotype, I think I made Joel Barber's brain have to reboot today. He was standing by Andy's locker, waiting for Andy to be ready to leave. Andy and I were talking about what we had to do this evening. He was complaining about a page and a half of research paper he has to write for Physics. "I have to go to the mall!" I told him, mock-horrified. Joel jumped in and asked, "So?"
"I hate the mall!" I cried. I really do, too. Icky.
"But...you're a girl." Joel informed me. (Thanks kid, I forgot ;D)
"Yeah...and?" I asked. I could see his brain not grasping the fact that there was such a thing as a girl who didn't like the mall. "Andy, do you want to explain this to him?" (He and I have the same ideas about malls--five minutes a month, tops.)
"It's comercialized secularism," Andy told him. I nodded.
I think this was the point where Joel's brain went Does...not..compute...girl+mall≠like...cannot...comprehend...system error, this program will be forced to shut down...*blue screen of death*...*reboot* "Oka...ay..."
Ah-tee-hee-hee.
