If there's one lesson that we can take away from movies that involve mean girls (or guys) is that the bitch who made your life hell in high school is supposed to fail miserably after graduation. Too bad real life refuses to imitate life...
I was at the book store with my mom yesterday (she flew out to visit me, <3 her lots), when she just happened to find a book that was authored by the queen bitch of the Wannabes (they tried so hard to be popular, but always failed miserably because they were the only ones who put worth on the alleged social hierarchy that they created in their minds, I only term them the Wannabes because they had people that they wanted to be friends with who wanted nothing to do with them, including some of my friends and some people who wanted to be friends with me that I never really made an effort to be friends with) that tried to make my life hell in middle school and high school. These evil bitches even tried to arrange it so that I'd fail a course in middle school by excluding me from the big group project that I was assigned to do with a few of them (thank God my teacher believed me when I told her that I tried to get with them to work on it, even showing up at their houses to try to pin them down, or I would've ended up with an F in the class). To this day I hate group projects with a fiery passion. I never knew why they hated me, but they were mean to me before I even met them. The queen bitch's right-hand woman was assigned to show me around school on my first day, but blew me off when I tried to invite her to go get ice cream the day before school started and stood me up when we were supposed to meet up so she could show me where my first class was. Then when I finally met her later in the day, she was, along with the rest of her little group, a complete bitch to my face.
So where's the social justice in everything? Why is it that the queen bitch gets to be a published author and continue to live off of mommy and daddy's dime while she explores creative writing as a career, while I'm stuck struggling at a no-name law school with nothing to show for it yet?
On the bright side, I get a closer look beyond the rumor mill at what my some of my former classmates have been up to since I last saw them at graduation (I skipped out on the official "unofficial" reunion last winter because I was tired after a family wine-tasting day trip in Napa Valley...after I made some of my closer friends promise to show up to keep me from being bored at it, oops) because the bitch was never creative enough to delineate from the truth except to make herself look better than she really was (case in point, tried to make herself sound less shallow in the book when she and her friends were the only female label-whores on campus). Judging from the first few pages of the book (thanks to that nifty "Browse Inside" feature) it's holding true as ever (can't believe that she didn't even bother changing first names...and can't believe she was delusional enough to pretend that she had a long-term relationship with one of my friend's exs when my friend was dating him senior year, but she dumped him and the bitch was eager for her leftovers).
So anyways, to sum it up, bitches sometimes get way more than they deserve, even when they don't change at all. And, yeah, it sucks ass, especially when you're nowhere near as "successful." Just gotta hope that things will get better and that the world will right itself out in the end.
