Got a nice comment on my photo album on PictureTrail:

really in all honesty you guys need to grow up and get a fucking life. if that's what you call fun then im sorry your biggest faggots i have ever seen in my entire life. you cant make fun of something you've never tried that just makes you a hypocrite because who said 2 years down the road from now you wont be doing the same thing. yeah you think its bad but no one gives a sweet shit about your opinion. and do you not realize that about 75% of the school smokes including some of your friends HA HA HA. and also might I add by putting in danas name do you think your higher up there sorry she's popular and your well down there in ranks. enjoy being the biggest tool you could possibly be on your Friday nights im soo jealous!

Of course, the fine person who crafted this well thought out and grammatically advanced comment left no identification, but I won't get into how pathetic that is. Don't get me wrong, it's dandy that you have your opinions, and you have every right to express them. But, I also have every right to dismiss your opinions and attack you like you've attacked me and my friends. So, don't respond to this and say "ohh why did u gte so pissed of!?1!". OK? OK. Here we go.

Doing something that we enjoy and that makes us laugh hysterically can actually be considered fun, believe it or not. Just because we have fun differently than you doesn't make us "faggots". And, by the way, I'm pretty sure that's a wicked immature word to use. But I digress; on to the next line.

Have you ever made fun of the KKK? Ever dismissed cutting off your fingers as a bad idea? Ever made fun of someone for doing something they think is fun? Better take back those statements, unless you try and become a racist bigot, take a knife to your hand, or try having fun without drugs or alcohol, of course. And of course my friends and I will probably try smoking at least a couple times in the next two years, and I'm not going to fight that, but what's wrong with making fun of it now if we admit that we'll probably be on the other end of the joke in two years. After all, a lot can happen in those two years; you might even figure out the difference between "your" and "you're" by then.

I don't give a hoot if 75% or 97.6% of the people in our school smoke. My friends and I take pride in the fact we can enjoy ourselves and be ridiculous without doing something illegal. Sure some of my friends do it or have tried it, but they have other redeeming qualities which is why they are still our friends and shouldn't take our little joke personally because it wasn't meant to be mean to them.

Being popular means one is "widely liked or appreciated" (dictionary.com), and I think I'm the one who had about 40 people at a recent birthday party. Funny how that works. I try and be nice to everyone that I think deserves it, because I like being liked. I don't believe in any social hierarchy, and I think the only people that do are the ones who think they are on top. Just because I don't pop my collar or wear expensive clothes and I drive a minivan at a reasonable speed while listening to some classy jazz music doesn't mean I'm "down there in the ranks". It also doesn't mean that other people are above me and are somehow magically immune to the opinions of the "lower class" that don't have fabricated rips in their pants.

That's about all I have. Again, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, don't give me flack for taking this too seriously or overreacting, because I tend to react when someone makes fun of me and my friends. And, try leaving your name, unless, of course, you're too worried about your popularity. Happy Thanksgiving.
