I’ve always wanted to write a thoughtful blog entry about what it was like to drop out of high school but it’s harder than I thought it would be because I don’t want to glamorize dropping out but in the same respect, I can’t LIE and pretend it wasn’t pretty great when I did it (I’m no liar!). You see the predicament this puts me in? If some impressionable high schooler happened upon my blog and saw an entry about my positive experience and all of the sudden they dropped out of school and directed all their friends to my blog entry and THEY dropped out of school and THEY directed THEIR friends to it and THEY dropped out of school etc, BAM! Before you know it, a worldwide trend of people dropping out would ensue and school officials would be pointing their angry fingers at me.
And I don’t think I could shoulder the responsibility of the downfall of the education system.
See, when you blog you have to consider EVERYTHING.
So today I put my wrap-around headphones over my hair and it kind of made me look like I had a mullet. I am happy to report I am cured of wanting a mullet! Which is a good thing because I seriously wanted to do it for a minute there and my family was getting pretty worried. I overheard my mom calling the A&E Intervention people, in fact. She cried and cried when she found out they don’t have mullet consideration rehab or whatever and I just hate it when my mom cries so this is my Christmas gift to her.
I LOVE YOU, MOM.

Ha. This entry is gold. I’m glad you are reconsidering joining te ‘say no to the mullet’ group. Moreover, you make me want to drop out of high school, I shall do that now… oh wait… what? I am already graduated? DANG!
No mullet, eh? Oh well, I guess some things are best left unresurrected. I mean, even Bon Jovi’s cut his hair, John Mellancamp, too Most importantly, BONO no longer sports a mullet.
Wow on the high school thing! You must be naturally articulate. Did you self-educate when it came to writing CRACKED UP TO BE?
You had me at ‘cured of wanting a mullet’. Love you too :)
As my two-year old son would say:
“This is cracking me up right now.”
News flash: I think Intervention is one of the best. shows. ever.
You know, in case you were keeping score.
Veronique: That is okay! I’m working on a TIME MACHINE and when it is done I can send all my friends back to high school and have them drop out. Or something? I think this would work. It will be a while but DON’T YOU WORRY.
Danette: You should’ve just told me Bono was mullet-free these days and that could’ve settled it for me sooner! I would not have subjected myself to what I looked like with a vague mullet! :) And I didn’t do much self-educating re: writing CUTB unless researching how the publishing industry counts?? I’m going to say it does! Heh.
Mommy: <3333
TKT: Heh, always glad to crack people up! And! I totally am!! Intervention RULES!! I think I love it for the wrong reasons. Like, I don’t think I am supposed to be watching it in a “Well, this is how bad things aren’t, so be grateful!” way. *shame*
you lack commitment. especially to hairstyles.
that’s a GOOD thing in this case!
