Cliques - they're for the playground people!

I'll admit it, I wasn't the most popular girl at school. Tragic, but true.

I guess one of my problems (among many) was simply trying too hard. I wanted to be everyone's friend and not constrained to a single group. The oily skin and overbite didn't help matters much either.

It was no small relief to leave school and leave all the angst and bitching behind. Then facebook came along. And all the old cliques and social stratas resurfaced. I'm under no illusions as to those who have "added" me, just to check out the photos (yes, I have got FAT, big whoop!). But its cool, I do it too.

What is sad, is thinking that those old cliques still exist. In the real world, we form friendships with people who we enjoy spending time with. Background, age and race are largely unimportant. How fashionable or cool they are is of little or no consequence. The friends I most want to spend time with are the people that make me laugh so hard I suffer a little bit of incontinence (thank god for tena lady, for the thinner, faster flow of a weak bladder...) and who tell me I look like a sex kitten, even when realistically I look like Vanessa Feltz's less attractive sister.

I'm glad I wasn't one of the beautiful people at school. For them school days were the best of their life. For me, every year of my life just gets better as the world opens up.
