"The boys don't like me" (Quote, not a thought of my own)

I constantly find that my friends have really low self-esteem. I do too but it's different. Their's is undeservedly so. Sometimes I wonder whether they're giving me the "the boys don't like me/the girls just don't go for me" for a little sympathy. To all of you out there who think I'm talking about you, start giving yourself a little more credit. To the ones that are just plain ugly and stupid, go somewhere and die. Of course that was a joke. Little joke there. That was me bringing the funny the best I could which I've been having trouble doing as of recently. I'm talking originally funny. Not some rip-off of a joke I heard in the ConeZone or something. I really like writing that undermines the moment. A sudden jolt from the drama to the funny or vice versa. Both are immensely effective when done right and show that the writer can be rather fearless when he wants to. I tell you this because I know you woke this morning saying "Man, I wish I knew what kind of writing Greg likes!" "I don't remember having to explain to Italians that our problem wasn't with them, but with Mussolini! Why does the U.S. have to take every Arab country out for an ice cream cone? They'll like us when we win!"
