how to be the hated kid in class

here's an excerpt (<---i hate that word) from my latest how-to book, How To Be The Hated Kid in Class: Being Unpopular is A Science, due out late 2011:


#545: Always remember to think inside-the-box. Those who think outside and in other foolish arenas, are wrong and will never succeed in life. Do your best to become The Hated Kid by limiting your ideas and willingness-to-commit during group projects. This is a sure-fire way to become The Annoying One or even The Kill-Joy, both of which are excellent gate-way personas. 

...

#786: Arrive in class first. Be the first one in the chair and watch people as they file in. You accomplish two things this way: A.) You are allowed sufficient time to prepare your materials and begin taking notes prior to anyone else, and thus beating their asses and B.) You can position yourself to skillfully judge them as they walk in. There's nothing kids hate more than being stared at as they stroll into class late (or two minutes before the bell, which is basically the same thing.)

...

#322: Never raise your hand in class. Following this rule forces others to step up and voice their stupid and unimportant opinions, as you silence the discussion by not contributing. There are few students who enjoy controlling discussions. Exception: If you have a proficient come-back in mind, go ahead and blurt it out. This exception allows you to once again, beat their ass, and voice your own opinion. More often than not, a blurt will illicit much eye-rolls and groans - but don't be worried, both are great building blocks towards being the coveted Hated Kid in Class.

Trust me that's not the type people hate... I'm pretty sure people harbor more hatred towards the obnoxious "skinning coyotes" type (still can't get over that - sososo psycho)

And girl, don't forget that you are awesome.

As Bo would say,
