Wow, reading all that brings up so many memories from being in high school when I wore nothing but all black everyday. I was fortunate enough to have kind & supportive parents who made it clear that they didn't necessarily like my fashion choices but they still loved me no matter what. It makes me sad to hear stories like this where people are forced to change just to make others happy. But it sounded like that girl still had a mind of her own, so at least there's hope for her!
dude, if you had a LOTR day, i'd love to be there! it's probably impossible though. i'm sure i'll eventually see them though. and don't worry, i'm a dork too. probably way dorkier (is that a word...?) than you.
i wish i had a car...and a license. i'd go on back roads drives all the time. and i'd go on a road trip. but then i'd need some sort of motorhome thingie so my cats could come too. i'd miss 'em too much.
turns out SGB wasn't sold out! and i went. woo! details can be found in my journal, provided i get around to updating it before you read this.
daytime tv totally sucks. bleh. and i fucking hate those forced makeover shows. i get really bothered by the ones where they bring on men that have long hair and beards so they can shave the beards and cut off all their hair, because their wife or girlfriend doesn't like the way they look.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. It brings up so many memories from late middle school and high school....I'm just glad that my parents are douche bags and supported me no matter how i chose to dress.
Nice taste in bands.
