#weirdly true

Dear angsty straight boys, this is a psa. At some point in high school you will think "hey, maybe I'll join tech for the drama department," and you will do it. Before you have to go through the experience, let me break it down for you-- it will go something... like this: Step 1) You will sign up for tech Step 2) You will build things. if you're lucky, or insane, you will be working with lights and sound. Step 3) You will be satisfied. maybe even slightly less angsty. everything will be fairly enjoyable. Step 4) The show will start. you will meet the actors. Step 5) Things start to get stressful and the undoubtedly pretty but slightly bizarre girl in charge of it all (who only sees you as a friend) will start relying on you for absolutely everything, because you "don't cause problems." Step 6) The show is okay, but you don't really care. Step 7) You will meet a girl. you will casually hook up with said girl. Step 8) You find out that this girl has a boyfriend of questionable sexuality (but everyone swears he's straight) Step 9) In order to not feel like too much of a dick, you will date this girl, who is probably an actor, and probably a diva. Step 10) Everyone will hate you for a brief period of time because you broke up their favorite couple, but they will also love you because, again, paradoxically, you "don't cause problems." So there you have it, angsty straight boys. You will join tech and you will get a girlfriend and after you leave high school you will have many useful skills and absolutely nowhere to put them. You sure you still want to sign up?
