So, I have an awesome story from my journalism class, as promised.
I'll preface this by saying that I am by no means a homophobe. I'm probably the most tolerant person you'll ever meet actually. But there is this guy in my class (who is gay) that just really grinds my gears. And it isn't because he's gay. If it were a straight guy acting like this, I'd definitely be feeling the same way. So anyway, last week we had to do a partner activity, and he was my partner. I was hoping he'd be super chill and down to earth. But no. This is the conversation that occurred. (loosely quoted since it was a week ago.)
Him: Are you shy?
Me: No. I just don't like to talk if I don't have to. I don't feel like I have to talk and be loud to seem important.
Him: Well if we're going to be friends you have to pretend like you're the shit.
Me: *stares at him waiting to see what he says next*
Him: Cause I think I'm the shit and that I'm god's gift to this earth.
Um yeah. That isn't what you're supposed to say to people when you first meet them. Regardless of whether or not you think that you're high and mighty, you're generally supposed to be polite at first. I know that you're supposed to act yourself when you meet people, but when you come off as a conceited ass, you should probably not be yourself. But anyway, this guy just has no class. He talks while the teacher is talking and its hard to listen through his rude and sarcastic remarks. He walked into class today like, 20 minutes late, goes and sits down then gets up WHILE THE TEACHER IS TALKING and comes and sits at our table. He continues to be rude and talk to this girl that I sit across from. She isn't going to be rude, so she just talks to him, but is trying to keep it down. Throughout the whole class he is just being rude and dumb. A guy at my table, J.T., and I look at each other and just give each other a look and joke about it via Facebook on our Droids. He gets up and goes to the bathroom or something and comes back and tells us that there is a hot guy outside. Blah blah blah. I had to get up and throw something away, so I took the liberty of looking at this guy. He wasn't hot. But regardless, the guy in my class was just being rude. Our teacher gives us a break and he leaves saying he's going to find the guy outside the classroom. The rest of the people that sit around me start talking about him and we all came to the consensus that he is just a jerk overall, and that has nothing to do with his sexual preferences. Lastly, he comes in ten minutes after our break is supposed to be over and falls asleep.
There really is no point to this blog, but I feel like it should be known that being a conceited ass and thinking you're hot stuff will automatically put a negative connotation on you.
