the comeback, part one: post quotes that inspire.

My name is Rosalie Bass, and I am one of those rare sixteen year old juniors in the upper United States that sees the world for what it is- a giant pit full of lies, scandals, gossip, and plotting. This applies to everyone regardless of social class; lower, middle, or upper, we are all trying to claw our way to the mountain top of success whether we like it or not, no matter the cost. For some, success means a home to sleep in, food to eat, temperature control in the winter; others, it means ten new pairs of Jimmy Chu shoes and a Chanel product or five to boot. All different definitions, all resulting in the same bloodthirsty battle to the finish.

So what am I in all of this? The observer, of course. Obnoxious on occasion and conceited on most, I promise to give you, my beloved reader, the brutally honest story of what life is really like when you look at it through an icy perspective. This may involve juicy gossip, my take on current events, or even real life stories about yours truly. Whatever it may turn out to be, I give you my word that it will be a wild ride.

'Tis the season! As the first marking period of the school year comes to a close, the drama of junior year reaches its highest point yet. Could it be the stress of academics that is causing all the juicy stories, or maybe, just maybe, are people starting to embrace their inner bitch?

Let's find out.

By far the sluttiest person that we know, our darling L has recently started going out with a new guy who happens to be my ex boyfriend. They have only been going for about two weeks, and already my social circle is abuzz with the glorious highlights of her sex life. I won't go too into the repulsive details, but let me say one thing: nine and a half fingers.

The infamous, religious little vegetarian known as O is surprisingly not so innocent anymore. Having dumped her charity case boyfriend several months ago, she is now with an ROTC future marine, and they are doing anything BUT worshipping when alone together. I have to say, I'm quite surprised - I figured someone as conservative as her would hold out a little longer. Perhaps when it comes to teenage lust, God isn't so vital to our lives anymore?

B, the manwhore of my high school, was nominated into the Homecoming Court a few weeks ago, but sadly did not win the crown. I don't think he's too upset, though - rumor has it that he's hooked up with NUMEROUS girls since then. That guy is never satisfied.

And then there's the girl who always seems to be one of the prominant figures in the drama - our very own R. The lovable girl with the split personalities, something seems to have been up with her lately - or down with her, if you know what I mean. Her love life has been in shambles, filled with constant rejection on both sides and the occasional poor decision. Combined with the fights she's been starting lately, I'd say that we have quite the problem child on our hands.

Alas, though, it is only my opinion.
