You know that AJE guy I was talking about a long time ago? Well, the crush is still there. It's significantly smaller now, but the feelings are definitely there. But I was right about him not liking me - because if he did he would have asked me to prom last week. He didn't, so I know that he could care less. When I said that I wasn't going, he didn't even care! I'm so glad that it's finally deteriorating, because some of the things he does are really starting to piss me off. I didn't think that any boy could get me that mad, especially after JRR in freshman year - but AJE managed to do it. Why am I attracted to jerks?! Sure, the jerkthrobs on TV shows are understandable, but they usually end up having sweet sides. JRR was just a messed-up kid and I can't even remember why I liked him in the first place. AJE is another story, though. He's just so irritating!

In English today, we had to do this anticipation guide for The Bean Trees since we'll start reading that book on Monday. We had to read 14 statements and use the numbers 1 - 6 to say whether we agree (1) or disagree (6).

One of the statements was, "All wives must try to please their husbands, even if they don't treat them well," or something along those lines. A majority of the girls in my class disagreed strongly, as most of us labeled it with a "6" - he labeled it with a "2" - which only makes me realize how bad we'd be together. I don't wanna like a guy that thinks that the woman has to work harder to keep a relationship than the man does. It's a two-way street; does this mean he thinks it's okay for the girl not to treat a guy well, too? The comments that he made today just seemed sexist to me. I agreed with what he said during the immigration discussion, but what he said about the relationships just really upset me.
