I Thought The Solar System Was Heliocentric...

"You can know someone's a ballerina if they can only count to 8 in French."

That is 100% true. In my 12 years of ballet training, the only French numbers I know are 1-8.
un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit
But I'm not writing this to reminisce the kindergarten days of learning numbers. This entry is for those of us to are forced to co-exist with "them" - the drama queens, prima donnas, and 52-year-old 'has-been's who are still convinced that the sun and the moon and the stars and the earth all chose them as the center of gravity. Come on, we all know one. Whether it's a co-worker, neighbor, "friend", cheerleader sitting behind you in Physics, or ballet instructor *cough*, they're present everywhere. What's worse is that they seek out those of us living normal, unnassuming lives. For those of you out there reading this who are one of "them" - STOP IT. The world does, in fact, still revolve around the sun. For those of you reading this who have to put up with a "her" (or "him", be it your case) there really is nothing we can do but shut our own mouths and block them out. Nothing they say will ever be about us anyway since we are merely another satellite in their self-sustained solar systems. Ignore what they say and soon enough they'll stop seeking you out on their own.

Tonight I'll go to ballet, and not listen to a word of what the instructor says. Why do you think I taught myself how to count in French?
