people suck
I am so tired of people! Ugh! Why is it that people can't mind their own damn business? Oh and why is it that girls get the bad rep that we cause drama when in actuality, guys cause just as much. For example: A guy (we'll call him AC) meets a girl (we'll call her CS) and decides that he likes her. Well AC becomes jealous or mad or whatever at CS because she likes another guy (we'll call him LT.) AC hears a rumor about CS and LT and immediately starts harassing her about it and wanting to know if it is true "just to set the record straight." Bullshit!!! If CS told him the truth he would go blab that shit everywhere... and besides she doesn't owe him any kind of explanation! Why is what goes on between 2 people anybody else's business besides those 2 people? Someone please enlighten me? If I choose to keep that information private than leave me alone and stop asking! Sorry for the rant, but everyone involved can read about it on myspace so I figured I would put it here! UGH!!!! *exits soapbox*

Sellouts!
Why is it that when a band is finally recognized by the mainstream they are suddenly considered sell outs? How can someone call themselves a true fan and not be excited or even feel a little bit of pride when a band they have supported gets noticed? I don't understand what people think they will accomplish by bashing these people. They are just trying to make a living doing what they love. Not to mention in a small way they are actually doing it for you! I see more and more of this everytime I get on to livejournal, friends or enemies, and even bands' home pages. WTF people! People say Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., and Panic! are all sellouts for being on MTV. If anything they are making that channel better by keeping Britney, Jessica and the gang off of the countdowns! I watched the Grammys last night. Most of the people who won deserved their awards (Kelly Clarkson, Kanye, John Legend- not Green Day or U2 ) I don't think anybody, even the most die hard fan, really expected FOB to win the Grammy. I figured that none of the sites would be updated, but I was surpised to read what Pete had to say in his journal:

so the grammys.
yeah. we got dressed up.
got to see so many amazing artists and people.
its all butterflies in your stomach. even if you have convinced yourself that you wont win there is still a part of you that feels like someone has your little gold statue in their house.
at least the camera doesn't cut to you.
at least you dont throw a tantrum.
everyone expects some sort of humility. but the truth is there is some part of you that feels robbed simply because you are human.
because you are you.
because you dont ever want to be someone's second favorite.
the truth is this whole thing is an amazing experience and we wouldn't complain for the world.
there has been some amazing music made this year and i can't complain about anyone being recognized for doing it.
its hard to put a value on music and it feels amazing just being a small part of this.
besides kanye west sings dance, dance sometimes.
the ride back was the worst. we second guessed ourselves. how did we end up this far away. people try to console something that they cannot.
get back to my room and light up the computer to see your q&a.
that changed everything. the first four pages were filled with responses about how much you love us and support us no matter what- people defending us- telling us not to give up.
amazing. you changed my night.
im doing okay. im going to order food and then write a song with patrick.
i feel inspired. by you.
we don't write songs for statues but...
next year i want to tell you that from the podium.
i will save this years speech and read it then.
so i guess this is my thanks to you.


They are amazing! Despite what everyone thinks they are still true to their fans! That is incredible! That is why they, and all the other bands, deserve respect!

Oh the holidays!
I cooked dinner for 3 of my favorite people
in Charleston last night!
It was a lot of fun! Although it did get a
little crazy at the end. But hey, the holidays
will do that to you.

My pocket-size prince is in town. He will
be here for a week, so I guess I'll be
coming in to work tired at least one day this
week. He's the best!!! I just wish he would let
me know before he gets here!

Boys, boys, boys! Whatever! They suck!
One is just turned legal this week!
Another I'll see this weekend when I go
home. Then off to the third up in Clemson!
Whats a girl to do!

Then I'm destined to spend all day hoping that he will
stop by before I don't see him for a month! I love that
kid. I put up with a lot from him, but I care about him
a lot. Why does it happen that way?

The holidays make me stop and think about the people close to me.
To the girl who is like my sister, you know I would do anything
for you. Even though some people think our friendship is strange,
you mean the world to me. I don't know if I would be sane if you
weren't there for me to vent to. Some of the best times I've had
in my life have been with you (10-15-05, 7-16-05, 9-24-26-04). We
do so much laughing and so little crying, not because you are "heartless"
but because we are just that close. Thanks for keeping me young and
introducing me to all my new loves! ;0) In the immortal words of Pete Wentz
"These friends are, new friends are golden" You are what makes this holiday
happy for me! I love you girl!

Current Mood: grateful

Bad situation
So I have this friend, no really it isn't me, whose boyfriend is a liar.

The story is that the boyfriend, we'll call him J*, went to church with this girl, we'll call her P, for years. P always had a crush on J but he just thought of her as a friend. Enter current girlfriend, we'll call her C, who began dating J about a year and a half ago. C never liked P, but J still hung out with her anyway. This was always a sore spot in their relationship.

So I went up to CU where J goes to school with a friend of mine named... hmmm... we'll call him SSB, for Side Show Bob. Anyway I ran into them at a game and P was with J and SSB and another chick. So since they introduced me to P, I figured that C knew she was there. Boy was I wrong. I mentioned to C that I met P that weekend, assuming she knew P had been there. Oops! C asked J about it and he said that it was someone else. So naturally I assumed I had been wrong and was just going to leave it at that.

Until today! I got a comment on my page on the cult... I mean myspace from SSB. He said that he heard I louded out J about P being there and that wasn't cool. So all this time J has been lying to C about P being there.

Which brings me to this.... Should I tell C that J is lying? If it were me, I would want to know. But, at the same time, C and I are just starting to get our friendship back on track and I don't want to push her away. What should I do??? Please help!!


* names have been slightly changed, but if you know them you can figure it out... you're smart people!

Why?
It's said that God will never give you more than you can handle.
Is that true?
This last week has been one of the most difficult of my life.
People always disappoint you...
So why do I just set myself up for it?
Why do I always want to see the good in people who just can't be more than bad?
If you know your actions are hurting people closest to you, why don't you give a damn?
Why do you come down on me all the time?
Your supposed to love me and show me how to be a better person.
All you do is beat me into the ground.
Don't mean to be a downer, just need some things off my mind.

The Working Title this weekend!!!
February 15th Panic! at the Disco and The Academy is...
Should be good times! Be there!
