Ignorance is bliss

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 4:37 PM
  • Mood: Disgust

Today in class, I got in a somewhat heated argument with a fellow classmate of mine. I am usually passive agressive, but there are a few things that get me riled up, which are: animal rights, people hating on AFI, and the never ending issue of homosexuality.
The argument was based on the latter.
I am going to try and keep this short and sweet and not rant on forever about it, but people are so damn ignorant when it comes to gay people.
I can't understand how people think they are any different from heterosexual people and why on earth someone would deny another individual rights just because of the way they love.
Society fosters homophobia and it is really frustrating.
This kid who sits next to me in class kept saying, "I hate fags."
And I asked him why, and he came back with, "It's gross. It says in the Bible that it is wrong."
Stop bringing up the effing Bible.
Seriously, if that is your best reasoning, just shut up.
If your "god" is so accepting of people, so loving and kind, why in the world would he "create" flawed people that are already destined for "hell?"
And then you have the fools who think people choose to go gay.
Please.
I am going to stop this before the keyboard bursts into flames from my furious typing.

By the way, I realize this is a really controversial topic, and I don't mean to offend anyone with my views. If I did, it was not intentional.

All about the AFI show

So much to cover and so little time.
Okay, well, first off, I went to the AFI show in Richmond, VA, and I met :iconmodernepicdf:!
It was lovely meeting her and waiting a couple hours outside in her company. She finally got her Jade drawing and also got it signed by Davey (BTW, Amber, I would love it if you sent me a clearer picture somehow!).

Anyways, on to the show news.
My mom and I got there at about 4 and there weren't very many people there so we waited for about 10 mins or so before Smith came out and directed the DF members to a seperate line, and luckily I grabbed my DF card moments before exiting the car. Unfortunately for my mom, she is not in the DF (shame on her), but sweet talked Smith and managed to scoot on over to the DF only line, but at the time she had no idea who Smith was so I kindly explained to her that she just talked to the INFAMOUS Smith Puget, brother of JADE. She got somewhat excited and when he came around to hand out bracelet things, he remembered that she was with me and she promptly proceeded to hug him. I wish I got a picture because it was pretty hilarious.
Then finally, after much waiting, we were let in (my camera buried in my mom's purse and she snuck it in). I got a place one person behind the rail which was more than I could have asked for really. So we waited until Gallows came on and when they did. OH HAIL. The lead singer quickly started a circle pit which caused everyone to squeeze in super tight and I couldn't breathe. Said lead singer also did an extremely random stage dive and hit people around me in the head with his body. Lovely.

THENN, AFI came out and all was amazing. The only complaints I have are that people were singing so loud I couldn't hear AFI, at all. I couldn't hear the music or Davey. My mom moved to the back where the speakers and stuff were and partied it up back there (another girl trying to pick her up in the process). I stayed in the front and snapped photos when I remembered, "yes, I have my DSLR!" But yea, the performance was amazing, their stage presence was incredible, but the fans around me? No. Pushy, didn't care who they stepped all over to get close. But hey, we all love AFI. And like Frank Carter so eloquently stated, "You're all here to get fucked by AFI," and that we did. And I am pretty sure we all loved it.

By the end of the night, I was sweaty and gross, my mom was on the tipsy side and fangirling Jade heavily, and I was more than satisfied at witnessing the phenomenon that is AFI.

The AFI concert I am going to is on Monday.
I cannot wait, AND my friend Aaron is letting my borrow his really nice lens for the concert so I am hoping and praying they're going to let me in with it.

I get to miss 2 days of school.
It's going to be more than worth it, I know.

I am also giving pointy!Jade to his new owner I do believe.

My thoughts on Crash Love (edit: medicate musvid)

It's pretty good.
I received it in the mail today.
My favorite songs are Beautiful Thieves, End Transmission, and Okay, I Feel Better Now.
Lyrically, some songs are weak, though I don't feel this album has as much as an impact as some previous records have...maybe I need to listen to it more.
It doesn't seem as cohesive as some others have either.

MAYBE I AM BEING TOO CRITICAL!
><

But I am still thoroughly enjoying it.

EDIT:

I just watched it.
Not impressed.
For that song they could have had so many different ways to "illustrate" Medicate, but instead it's just the band playing and Davey fooling around with some girl.

No comprendo.

What did I do to deserve this?

  • Reading: Ruffian

Today was such an awful day, but I am not complaining, I just wanted to get my feelings about said incident out there.

So, I am in Honors Anatomy and Physiology.
Note I said honors, not to mention that the majority of people in this class are seniors.
Well, I don't like a good majority of the people in there but never did I think they would show their dislike towards me.

All during class, they were hitting me with paper hornets, which hurt like hell. I was pretending to sleep but saw them get up after hitting me with them and pick them off the floor. They thought I was oblivious and continued their little sick game. I got hit with 5 of them before I asked if they would stop and they acted like they had no fucking clue what I was talking about. I then proceeded to cry and I never cry.

If that tells you how bad it was.

They were laughing at me.

I am not them, I could never be. It disturbs me that they think it funny to make someone cry and feel like complete and utter shit. I felt worthless and hated, but I have moved on. I try not to brood on things.

It just amazes me that they would sit there and deny, DENY that they had hit me and then laugh while tears are streaming down my face.

What has happened to the word respect?
