Wow.

This week has sort of been a crazy time for my friends and I. This week I was a hall monitor (feel free to insert menacing music of your choice here). That means I wear a retarded yellow vest and carry around a clipboard while kicking people who aren't supposed to be in the hall out. I chose two girls to do hall monitor job with me, and my friend (yes, HE is a boy) chose two other boys.
The problems begin here.
So, one of the boys my friend chose is a little "hyper". He got a little jumpy and yelled at a few people, apparently. (I wasn't there; I'm taking my friend's word for it and I trust her completely.) The day after this happened, they spent the day contemplating this and decided that the boy should be suspended from hall patrol duty. I, however, was not particularly eager to take sides.
I was worried that if I joined the boys' side of the argument, I would lose my girl friends. But I didn't want to lose my guy friends either! I decided to be neutral, providing good reasons for both sides' arguments.
Most of you know that some girls are passionate about the things they are supporting. One of my girl friends is one of them. She tried all through today to convince me to "have an opinion" and that I was "entitled to say what I think."
I tried to convince her that I didn't WANT an opinion.
My guy friends seemed to be slipping away, most likely thinking I would most definitely side with the other girls. I made it known that I was NEUTRAL.
Finally, the boy whom this was all about yelled at someone and called their cousin stupid, and my guy friends drew the line. They "fired" him, so to speak, and FINALLY, everything is back to normal again. I was proud of the guys. They are willing to sacrifice things for others of more importance. Which is why guys are good to have around.
