Back from Oni-con.
As usual I pissed people off for being tall. Naturally they blame me for everything wrong that happened in their general vicinity.
Pointers for Concert Assholes:
-if you intend on shoving past a person, it's best not to talk about it loudly behind them because that will provoke me to actually be mean to you.
-if you're 5ft tall, don't bitch about being stuck behind me because you, ever so bright concert goer, chose to stand there. I didn't force you to.
-Just because you're short doesn't mean I HAVE to let you in front of me. I paid, stalked and waited to get the very first few numbers in the premium seating. I'm not giving that up because you bought yours late and now have high numbers and are stuck in the back. Wear platforms next time. If you ask, I might be nice and help you up front.
-If you bash into me repeatedly in effort to push through me and my friends who have nowhere to go because we ARE ON THE FREAKING BAR and you clock me in the head more than three times repeatedly, I will do a back kick and throw the heel of my foot into your crotch as hard as possible. You give me a concussion, I'll try to break your uterus so you can't spawn retarded off spring who don't know the meaning of ettiquette.
-I apologize for being tall before the show. I also warn that I head bang. It's not my fault if you don't heed warning and decide to ride my ass until I start head banging and catch you off guard when my head gets thrown back into your face.
-If you get too close to me, I will adjust my closeness proximity with the bar in effort to not only protect myself from ramming my head senselessly into the bar and/or stage but to also protect you from having my head come crashing into your face. Consider having me bump you back a little bit a favor. If it pisses you off so bad, next time, I'll let you experience the broken nose you so seemingly want.
-In general I'm a docile concert goer. I wear freaking SLIPPERS so I'm no taller than I naturally am, I put all my hair up so it doesn't get in anyone's way, I keep to myself, stand in my spot, I don't push, I just stand there and head bang. Occasionally I'll bounce and jump. But if you provoke me, you've inflicted wrath upon yourself. I'm 6'3, good size and stature, from New Jersey and will fight back if you try to fight with me. As we learned at the D'espairsRay and BLOOD shows, I AM NOT AFRAID TO SOCK YOU IN THE FACE.
Frankly, I'm sick of being blamed for everything bad that happens at shows. Go ahead and wangst about the tall girl. Whine about how you couldn't see, blame her for pushing. Whatever. You'd KNOW if I was pushing because you'd suddenly find yourself four rows back from where you started from with sharp pains in you pelvis and face. There was one girl the entire weekend I was mean to. And she deserved that kick to the baby maker. Frankly, Friday's show was docile except baby maker girl. Saturday's show I somehow found myself pushed about a foot to the right of where I originally started. Did I get angry and shove back so I could get back to where I started out at? NO.
Suck it up and realize that just because the person next to you is pushing into you DOESN'T mean that THAT's the person the pushing is originating from.

And just because I know someone's going to click on my name from the 12012fan comm, I'm leaving this post un-friends locked because I'm pissed off enough to start controversy in my own LJ. D:
