I didn't have a blog back in highschool. This is because blogging really wasn't as widespread back then, and I have more important things to do online - namely making stupid websites, downloading music at 56K, and spreading news about my rap group, Iron Pirate.
So, I wasn't able to fully bitch about everything worthy of being bitched about back then. However, most of the people and things that sucked during those years continued to suck during my college years, so I covered most of them.
But I was standing around doing nothing in O-Chem Lab last night, and something popped in my head that I hadn't thought about in years. One of the most devious, heinous, notorious, infuriating items: book covers.
Throughout grade school, the same thing would happen every first day of school. We'd go up and get our textbooks, and they'd force us to put on a book cover. Now, being that these books all sucked and were in their 7th generation of use, I could never understand why they would do this. Not to mention that there is no possible way a book cover could provide any defence whatsoever.
The textbook covers were generally made of skin-irritating paper with stupid advertisements on them, and it would take like 20 steps to try to cover the book, and then the cover would get ripped off within 2 hours anyway. I hated it more than anything ever.
Here, read about
how to do it. And imagine doing it like 7 times in one day.
I think hell is just a perpetual assignment of covering books. Gauranteed.
It was good getting that off my chest after having it brew for 17+ years.

agreed 100% on the irritability factor though
Ever use a paper bag as a book cover? My hippie parents wanted to "recycle" them, so we used damn bags for book covers. At least i could make my own design on them...
