preggers!

In my opinion, at least, coming from my hometown is that we produce one of two people. Those who go to college, and those who do not. Those who do not go to college end up pregnant within three years of graduating high school. The really talented ones achieve their knocked up status in high school. I was reminded of someone I used to know in junior high today, so I tried to look him up on myspace even though his last name escapes me right now. I found him--but on his page, I also found his comments flooded with friendly hello's from girls I knew in high school with babies in their profile pictures. Unwed girls, single girls. I think that if I ever do become a psychologist with a Ph.D. I am gong to focus my research on the girls "left behind" because this is a crazy phenomena. I guess that's what they stay back to do, right? It's either that or continue working at Target as a cashier WITHOUT a child. Hell, might as well get it over with. And the guys they do it with, my god. So ugly. My best friend from junior high got pregnant our senior year of high school, got married before we graduated to the supposed baby daddy, and is now divorced and living with her parents again. These kids that I literally went to Kindergarten with, girl scouts, you name it. All knocked up. Jiminy crickets. It makes sense, I guess. There really is nothing to do in your hometown after high school but get trashed, high and have sex all the time when you're not calling in sick to your retail job.

His last name just came to me.

I think the concept of getting pregnant is some sort of false self-esteem booster. It is so glamourized these days. So you're too dumb to go to college, have a kid! It will give you a purpose and people might pay attention to you, at least for nine months until it pops out and we find out how ugly it is. Since when did having ugly babies with ugly guys become fashionable?

See you at Target, baby weight.
