Misjudgements 2/19/10

Being the opionated person that I am and being the age that i am I dont or didnt believe in misjudgements. I could call someone for what they are a mile away without even saying a word to them. This has been the week of contradiction.

First: Normally to even look upon Lindsay Taylor's face brought disgust to me. Taylor began talking to her and I will admit, I am still to this day jealous. I cant talk to her about band after all and Lindsay became her friend quick. I didnt mind until she left her crushed last summer. I will NEVER forget some of the things she told me and how I could feel the sadness in her words. Recently they reconciled, but I never did. I couldnt bring myself to do it. I am not one to forgive easy. However drivers ed poses a new challenge, I sit right across from her. Maybe I was semi-wrong. She still has emense powers of evil dont get me wrong (though doesnt everyone) but she is nothing but kind to me. Strike one on the misjudgment score for me.

Second: Those who inhabit Old Mill know Mrs. Neville. People groan sometimes even aloud when approaching her desk for attendence in the main office. She is mega-anal for one thing and is always rude. Not the best of people. When I went to the MVA on thursday, I arrived to school and prepared to face the beast early on. Upon reading that I was at the MVA based on the note penned by my grandmother, she remarked that it was in fact not an excused absensce. Based on the knowledge that the MVA could be visited after school hours. I told her that I had drivers ed after school so couldnt it be excused? The annoyance in my voice getting higher by the second. With a surprisingly sweet voice she said ok, lets just call this an appointment smiling through her horn rimmed glasses. I managed to stutter an ok and took my pass. Strike two on the misjudgement score for me.

Third: Every week when I get Entertainment weekly on Fridays I devour it cover to cover. One of the highlights is a pop culture article done either by Stephen King, Diablo Cody or Mark Harris. Normally seeing an article by Mark Harris I skip it without even giving it a second glance. By some works of fate my grandfather pointed out this specific article that I just had to read. On of the worst movies in the best movie category would be in my opinion the Blind Side. It was so traditional and feel good. Dark depressing is where its at. Though most of the time I dont have the words to express my disgust without sounding politically ignorant. It is a republican movie though. Now reading this article, It was like the stars alligned. Ok thats a little cheesy but still. Anyways he saw the movie two times, then read the book and found obvious discrepencies. He deserves to be nighted, thats how good his article was. Strike three on the misjudgement score for me.

My mother is always going on by that spiritual jazz, including how I am quick to judge. I hate to see it but she is right. Fate has given me so many signs. I dont say that often either. :)
