of cuteness and suffocation

its all well and good to have new friends.
new nice friends.
and yes, i probably would already have died without them.
who else would prod/tickle/kick me awake during lectures?
(and then lend me their notes afterwards when their attempts dont work.)
bail me out when some ill-meaning teacher (whose initials could possibly be E.N, ahem ahem) asks some stupid question meant to kill?
keep watch in the corridor during infiltration of some forbidden toilet?
but unfortunately the nice-ness of my friends means that i have to swallow my own bile.
i have had to bite back my more sardonic remarks and exchange them for nicer ones, which has been a rather strenuous affair!
when observing a group of slightly overweight (read fat) students having PE i commented that they must be from TAF (incidentally renamed FUN club - who are they trying to kid?)
friend goes 'what how can it be? they look fine what.'
ooooookay..
i hadnt known that fat was a forbidden word.
its hard to help it.
'oh look at that fat teache-' *severe look* 'ahem, teacher dressed in red over there.'
or an even worse example.
'gosh how can those girls wear their tights like that without any shorts over it?'
'yea, you need to be really toned to do that and they're so not.'
'er....that wasnt really my point.'
another oops.
talk about deferring opinions.
and then there is the fact they sometimes make me feel like a cold-blooded reptile.
'oh look at her, she has to go on crutches, poor thing.'
'who? OH er right.'
i even made myself go and offer condolences (excuse me, i meant sympathy) to the one in question, though i was so unused to this kind of thing that i could think of nothing much to say other than:
'urm are you ok?'
'yea.'
'oh ok.'
eloquence at its peak.
but over time, i have learnt the art of nice-talking. its actually really really simple - i just swap the gaps where i would usually insert weird, stupid or ridiculous for cute.
'ohmygosh that is soooo cute!'
'look at her hair! really cute.'
'oh what cute weather we have today!'
ok ignore the last one.
but 'cute' is really like the new magic word - it can be synonymous with just about EVERYTHING.
and there i was thinking it was restricted only to the description of furry animals (more specifically, my dogs).
yes it is official, i have been a social retard up till now.
but now, i have been enlightened to the higher powers of the verbal divinity.
i am now officially a cute-eran. (not to be confused with bimbo - it doesnt even rhyme!)
so till next time i am awakened to the higher forces, taa.
