"You're not bad at math, everyone has just told you you're not good at it. Just because it doesn't come as naturally for you as writing does doesn't meant you aren't any worse at it. When 9/11 happens, you're going to get a ton of crap from everyone. Chin up. When that officer essentially accuses you of wanting to break into a neighborhood house while you're selling cookies for cancer awareness, don't you dare let them get away with it, even if it means you get in trouble. Have some self-respect. I know you think Pokemon is cool now, but just wait until 2013. You can use your cynicism as a shield, but don't let it run your life or how you feel. Half-Life 3 hasn't come out yet. I know. I'm sorry."
