You're So Vain

Before I get around to my actual ranting post, I do want to tell you something:
In case you're too chicken to find out yourself, YES, first degree burns DO HURT!
Found that out the hard way in Chemistry today when I decided it would be a really fantastic idea to try to pick up the piece of glass I was trying to bend a little too close to the middle. Awesome. So I can't really feel the tip of my right thumb, which is really quite inconvenient because I'm right-handed. Boo.

Is it bad that I'm updating my blog from school? I feel a little scandalous, when it's really nothing compared to the short skirts some girls wear and all the texting that the teachers seem to be oblivious to. Plus, there's nothing in the handbook that says 'No updating blogs while you're at school'. I mean, yeah, it's not exactly the most productive use of time, but considering I'm here for an extra 45 minutes waiting for my friends to get out of band and I have no other homework, I don't really feel all that guilty about it because I would wind up doing it at home later anyway.

ANYWAY. You know what I really, really can't stand? Stupid vanity plates. My hatred for them grows stronger every day, each time I see one. I hate, hate, haaaaate them. I really don't care if you love your cat, and if you're a doctor, I would rather discover this by going to your practice rather than driving behind you on the expressway. Seriously? STOP PUTTING STUPID CRAP ON YOUR LICENSE PLATE! Chances are that you are the only one who understands it, and why would you pay good money to have a private joke with yourself and broadcast it to the world? It's ridiculous.

For instance, one time my dad and I were driving behind someone with a license plate that read 'C U N CORT'. Great. Do you know what I know about the guy driving this car? He's probably a lawyer (okay, maybe he's a judge) AND he's probably going to get the snot beat out of him at some point. Also, I'm 99% sure he's prick.

A few weeks ago I pulled into a parking spot at Giant Eagle next to someone with the license plate 'C8PE COD'. C8pe Cod? That doesn't even make sense. CateP Cod? WTF? Honestly, if 'CAPE COD' is taken, MOVE ON. Look, I'm sorry your dreams are shattered, but there's no reason for your to add unnecessary syllables to your favorite vacation spot just for the satisfaction of knowing that everyone else driving around you (people who don't care in the first place) knows you love Cape Cod.

Alright, I'm out of energy to rant anymore about this particular subject, but I assure you there will be more rants to come.
