Yeah, it was. But that's why I titled it 'rant'. Rants don't have to be justified and rational.

Ah High school...sorta one of those pointless times where I saw cliques formed and bizarre love triangles that make most Soaps look small.

College though was much more interesting.

I hear that one, school was a load of shite for me, but now I'm loving the whole college way of life!

Fuck that, how do you get through Junior school without being able to find your city on a map :?: That a teenager can't do it isn't mystifying, it's deplorable!

Quite. I was looking at a weather radar map of Tennessee to see if any rain would cancel our golf team match, when one dude couldn't find our home county on the friggen radar map!

Rob and I just got back from seeing The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abirdged). we got really good seats at the front of the dress that cost £32.50 each.

When we get there, the place is crammed to the brim with what appeared to be GCSE Drama students, who were sitting in our seats - and when we kicked them out, proceeded to talk and shout stupidly loudly, and get hideously excited about the least funny of the jokes in the production (y'know, the ones that would be fnny one-liners, but make for dull extended scenes).

Rob paid fucking £65 for those seats, and we're surrounded by discounted kids. If we'd known there was goign to be a school trip, we'd have gone for the tenner ones.

grrrrrr....
Only after I was no longer a teenager did I realize what a brat, idiot, dolt, moron, fill-in-the-blank I was as a teenager. Teenagers are convinced that they know much more than adults, obviously forgetting that each adult was once a teenager too. But, we've all been there...

BTW I love the old Samuel Clemens quote: "I was Born a man, thus I remained a child the whole of my life."
