I find myself so frustrated lately, and I do promise that I will concentrate on lighter things shortly, having all these worries floating through my head right now like:
Is my younger brother really moving backwards in acceptance in my transition? Will my mother continue sabotaging me, trying to make it harder so that I give up? Is my older brother really healthy for my trans and gay friends to be around will he accept me? Will my sister cut me off from my neice and nephews? How far will my step fathers rage go? Did I really screw up my schooling beyond any hope to fix it? How many years before my student loans debt is gone? How much longer after that will I ever have credit? Will I be fifty before I can ever hope to get a mortgage for a home? Will I be in the closet at work for the rest of my life? Will I still hate myself when I start visibly changing more? Will I be ugly? Can I trust anyone to talk to... Its been so long since I've hung around with any lgbt friends, I miss the acceptance and the use of gay in any positive sense of the word. The transgender day of remembrance was painful this year, I am stuck hiding and quiet. I keep trying to get things that I have always wanted, that I used to want, because it fit in my minds picture of what my cozy dream home would hold. As if one could collect enough pieces to complete the puzzle and solve life. I find myself having a hard time seeing into a future anymore though, I go by old pictures and old lists, pretending that they are still there. All I see when I try to look to my future is a short strip of the road left. I think of all the obstacles and how I can ever live with one of them continuing negatively and it feels like It is just a matter of time before the road runs out.

You play as the trashy looking Jimmy Hopkins who is being dumped off at Bullworth Academy so that his newly remarried mother can go on a honeymoon cruise and not have to deal with a miserable kid like you who keeps getting kicked out of schools. I honestly couldn’t stop laughing as soon as I put this game in; the audio is pretty hilariously and mean. You hear nasty comments and insults constantly throughout the game since you are tossed in the middle of the nastiest school around and after a short while it seems to be that it is more like their inner dialogue reaching you as you hear their strange quirks and secrets. It tended to shock anyone around to hear the characters running around threatening and beating up the other characters or even the quick “I’m so good at kissing, I always practice on my arm!” or “Can’t let anyone know I still do that!”. It shouldn’t have surprised me since it comes from Rockstar, the developers/publishers of Grand Theft Auto, so no surprise that you also heal through playing tonsil hockey.
So I originally picked up this game because I heard it had the great feature of you being able to kiss a jock (whom then begs you to never tell anyone) and seeing it on sale for under $5(^-^), I grabbed it for a good laugh. Jimmy, the main character is dumb, easy to manipulate, and doesn’t have much of a neck (odd looking at times) but he does grow on you. After going through some storyline I looked up info on kissing guys in the game and found that luckily you can kiss 6 of them: Trent, Gord, Vance, Kirby, Duncan, and Cornelius. This would be one character of each of the games cliques: Bullies, Preps, Greasers, Jocks, Townies, and Geeks. First off, you need to pass your first art class so that you can unlock the option of trying to kiss anyone. Yeah, I know, but I guess staring at pictures of Miss Phillips (art teacher), awakens something inside you. Unfortunately after that, you still have to finish chapter 1 to kiss anyone beyond Cornelius, which includes kissing some questionable girls(story mode) to unlock some love from the bullies. Once done, you can unlock the ability to give Trent flowers, so that you can interrupt his beating up geeks for a good make out session. The kissing scene full of moans, groans and maybe some ass grabbing, it is typical for other characters walk by, usually staring hard. As more people like you, characters might be openly adoring/envious of you and your make out partner while you exchange saliva. :p I personally wouldn’t give into making out with Cornelius, who looks like Steve Urkel, and saved myself for the angry Trent, since I just couldn’t wait for Gord. As chapters go by you will gain the love of other cliques on campus (and later loose some) and thus be able to snog a new boy. Generally you can skip out on kissing girls except through the story mode and just keep your favorite ‘boyfriend(s)’. Trent after Chapter 1 is yours and during times when you fall out of favor with other groups you can always go back to his loving/bullying arms. No shame in Trent he is probably the most open Bi boy in the game. Trent the Bully - Unlocked after Chapter I - White shirt, blonde hair “Wanna play shirts and skins?” Outside the school beating people up Gord the Prep -Unlocked after Chapter II - Prep shirt, small guy, scarf Talks about clothes and the poor. Outside Prep house or in town in Old Bull Vale, or the carnival Vance the Greaser - Unlocked after Chapter III - Leather jacket, small guy, red hair “Whats buzzin’ Cousin” Autoshop area or in town in Kirby the Jock - Unlocked after Chapter IV - Blue or grey shirt, brown hair Complains and has a huge ego. Gym area or in the football field Duncan the Townie - Unlocked late or after Chapter V - White shirt with orange circle, blonde Likes Grottos and Gremlins(D&D), may flirt with you. In the industrial part of town Cornelius the Geek - Almost always available - Green shirt, tall, black, glasses Talks about math lots. Library or outside school probably being beat up by Trent If you end up going to town, all characters will be spread out in particular parts of town, easy to grab for a quick kiss before you start a mission to boost your stats and health. Fantastically there is the achievement ‘Over the Rainbow’ which you get from kissing ‘gents’ a good 20 times. I did find it interesting that after favoring Gord for a while that Trent and Gord fought frequently. If you kiss a girl then go kiss a guy, if the girl is nearby she might kick him in the groin. I’m unsure if that’s why the guys where fighting or if it was just cause Trent likes to beat up everyone and if any prep is involved in fighting it is likely Gord. At times when respect is rocky you might want to rely on the percentages of respect from the different cliques to figure out who you can make out with. I love how this game has a wide open world that you can travel in and that there are not too many errands (tiny quests) or constant storyline. Once you know your way around the area and how the prefects work the game is pretty fun since everything is up to you. There isn’t much you want to do with different clothes but since money is easy to come by you might as well get an interesting outfit or spend half of the game in a ridiculous costume(though good luck kissing anyone). Overall it was a fun game, though I bought it and played it through strictly because I craved a game with some queerity to it. I can see why people feel it is a classic, it was funny and everyone is a jerk. Except Trent, after you kiss him he pretty much loves you saying things like “This is just like some romance movie”… (Then maybe saves his rep by)… “Uhhhh, I’m such a player” lol. Sure you are Trent, sure you are. |
