So, lets begin
I'm a spiritual agnostic attending a violently Baptist university attempting to get a creative writing degree, despite the fact that said college does not offer a major in creative writing. Whenever I tell anybody working at the college that I'm going to transfer for this reason, they treat me like a 5-year-old, saying crap like "Well that's not really a common degree program."
Bullshit.
Everyone that's ever bothered to look up from their Bible can see that every other college EVER has a creative writing program, if not a creative writing class at the very least. I hate everyone that's a part of this college because they treat me like dirt since I don't walk around licking a crucifix.
I recently fell deeply, madly in love with one of my male friends that I have known for a while. Much to my surprise, he admitted feelings for me, and we hit things off. Sounds like a happy ending, right? Be that as it may, happy endings do NOT exist in my life. Three weeks into our relationship, he starts dating this girl back home. He says that it's just a pity date, but things progress. They start having sex, while I haven't even gotten so much as a hug from him. Now, I'm not the jealous type. I don't care that they're together. I would just like some damn attention once in a while. Two weeks ago, I told him that I couldn't wait for him to make up his mind anymore. This is after he confides in me that he's starting smoking pot AGAIN (after his third time quitting). Yes, I broke things off with him, but that doesn't stop me from loving him. Last week, my best friend ever informed me that he had feelings for me. This guy already has a boyfriend! I'm not gonna support cheating! So I told him that I just can't be with anyone right now. That phrase turns out to be more true than I imagined.
Last week, I started therapy for my chronic depression, panic attacks, violent outbursts, and manic attacks. Lo and behold, I'm given a diagnosis: bipolar disorder. I'm not saying I can't handle this, but it just adds another huge pile of crap on top of an already massive heap. After I told my parents the news, they've been bothering me EVERY DAY!! My mom wants to pull me out of college and put me into a psych ward because she's afraid that I'll act on my suicidal thoughts. My dad is supportive, but he doesn't want me to be at college because he thinks that I've developed anorexia. He wants to bring me home so he can shove food down my throat.
Last weekend was my birthday which, as usual, sucked. I fought with my dad and now he thinks that I, too, am going to kill myself. No presents were given, no party was thrown, no cake was eaten, and no happy birthdays were thrown my way. Not. A. One.
My professors think that I'm a girl. Normally I'm not opposed to this kind of misconception, since it generally benefits me. Now, I don't think that I'm all that feminine. Yes, I have a ponytail; but it's not like I have breasts or a female figure of anything. They call me Ashley in front of the class.....Embarrassing much? Some guy called me "cutie" on Thursday...and another felt me up in the elevator....Does this happen to you ladies often? I mean, I'm new to being a woman, and I don't think that this much attention is normal. Then again, the students on this campus aren't allowed to have sex....or interact with members of the opposite sex outside of study. That's right. Who ever heard of a college literally banning all forms of male-female interaction? Every dorm is gender specific. Not only that, but even off-campus housing strictly monitors all visitors of the opposite sex. How stupid can they be!?
Now my ex wants to get back together with me, but he doesn't want to break up with his girlfriend. I know that I may sound a little bitchy, but I HATE that girl!! She's the most manipulative, conniving, mean, cruel, spiteful, lazy, self-absorbed, self-righteous person I've ever had the displeasure to meet!! I mean, what kind of person asks to date a guy whose dad died three days earlier!?!?! Isn't that atrocious!? He's pretty good looking, and although that makes me like him more, it doesn't stop me from recognizing that he has his own personality that's very fun to be with. This woman won't even let him talk around her!! She just uses him for sex and then makes him do crap for her!! I know I sound like I'm exaggerating, but I'm seriously not!! She's that horrible of a person!!
I'm bi, so I have nothing against either sex, but I really wish that guys and girls didn't hit on me because of the way I look! All of the girls at the English major tea parties that I have to attend stare at me like I'm some sort of Adonis. All the gay guys on campus cozy up to me because I'm more masculine than them (which isn't saying a lot). If you want to make someone like me like you, effing TALK to me! Don't put your hand on my hips and try to kiss me in the basement of the English building!! I'm not eye-candy!! Honestly, I don't know why these people are attracted to me!! I'm not all that handsome as a man or that pretty as a girl!!
So there it is: My life as manga. This is totally Ranma-esque, isn't it?
