Popularity... in PE?

Is it possible? For people to be "popular" in PE class? You wouldn't think so but actually, it is. You see, my annoying teacher (on the first day of school he yelled at someone for smiling too much and almost gave them a referral)  has obvious favorites. A group of 8th graders that always demonstrate everything and don't have to do the warm-up (12 minute continuous jog) so they can set up. I am not one of the lucky few being a 7th grader but maybe next year. ;)
Maybe...
I don't have to much to say on this topic so on to another one: New Years
Well, I don't have too much to say besides HAPPY NEW YEARS! And let 2012 be a good year for you

California

I was surfing the internet when I saw the STUPIDEST article ever about why not to move to California (my homestate) so I read and marked it and I was really mad because they "discovered" this info in my hometown so I shall now post it and my comments (in bold and [ ] s below)

Whenever I'm suffering through a miserable New England winter, I ask myself why I don't just move to California.[We don't want the likes of you]I finally figured it out one day in downtown ---.[Woot! —!]They've posted signs throughout the city center listing the things that you can't do (photo above):[Where do you want us to post them?]
no skateboarding, [If you wanna be run into, that's your choice] no skate devices, no alcohol, [Thank god] no bikes on sidewalks, [Same as above, we can run into you, then] no dogs
No dogs? That's right. You can't walk a dog down the street in downtown ---.[Not that anyone listens...]Downtown --- isn't especially crowded either.[Yeah, it is... ever drive down the street there? Don't try it]
Why do Californians need so many rules? Because they all moved there to enjoy the land, the climate, to take a job.[Or its home]They did not move there in order to become part of a community.[There's a community here, if they didn't invite you, good for them]In fact, they might very well hate all the people around them[Say that again and I'll wack you. We're very tolerate here. And I have proof, a girl from Virginia came to a summer camp here and kept dissing everyone but we all just told her to shut up.]but still choose to live in California. This does not happen in northern Michigan or central Massachusetts[Sure it does, you're still humans there, right? Then you don't get alone...]. If you don't like the community, you move. There is no other reason to be there.[But we DO like the community]
If Californians did not have myriads of carefully set forth rules, they would simply kill each other.[You're not a Californian, you don't know this]
My friends in California mostly have contempt for their fellow citizens. I ask them "today you're going to run into a person on the street that you've never met before. I'm not going to tell you anything about this person. The person could be of any age, sex, or economic class. Do you think you will enjoy meeting this person?"[Depends...]The response is always "I think the person will have the wrong political beliefs" or "the person will probably be a smoker" or "I bet the person won't be a vegetarian, so I can't talk to him" or "I doubt that this person will be educated or intelligent."[These are YOUR FRIENDS, don't judge us all based on that]

The --- is blocking out my hometown name and it's obvious this person doesn't really know what California is about.
