I noticed around March that everyone was wearing Taking Back Sunday shirts thinking they were so hip. Let me tell you kids, thinking you are cool is basically the opposite of being cool. I have this friend who will remain anonymous. She may be the coolest person I have ever met. She does not find herself hot. Or appealing. She is truly cool. But you kids, you decided that changing your image from slutty preps who rap to Ludacris in the cars to slutty punks who belt out Letter Kills in your car was cool. It was lame. The thought of seeing you at Warped Tour makes me sick. I want to punch you all in the face if it would make you understand that you are fakes, changing your image because you thought it was cool. I never claimed to be cool. Maybe you think the word cool is out and trendy is in. What the fuck ever kids, honestly. You aren't trendy, or cool, or popular. People don't genuinely like you. They resent you. Yes, even your friends do. Because they were scared and confused when you changed all your music on myspace from "omygoshhhh ludacris, eve, 50 cent" to "hawthorne heights, letter kills, from first to last". Admit it, you may like these bands, but it's because you forced them on yourselves. You strive to be different but all you've done is make everyone the same. I don't feel different when I tell someone that my favorite band is Brand New. In a town of 9000, I feel like everyone else, and when everyone else is like you, I want to be different. It makes me want to listen to reggae or something like that. But while you all are writing notes to self saying that you miss each other terribly, I'm being original I guess you could say. That cool friend from above listens to old vinyls. I did that for a while too, but now I listen to my mom's old cds. So I suppose when I meet the beginning of the school year once again, I will drown in a sea of a mix of Taking Back Sunday and From Autumn to Ashes shirts. Well, I guess if that's what it has to come down to, it must be it. Let me just tell you one thing. Being like everyone else isn't trendy, or cool, or hip, or popular. It makes you a sellout. You sold out to yourself and your friends. Loser.

Bailee - even though we've only known eachother since freshman year, you've always been there to give all that wonderful advice of yours. and that means so much to me...you take time out of your own life to help me out and do whatever you can to get me back to myself again. it's kinda funny...because whenever we get in those don't-fuck-with-me moods, we lash out at eachother but we're able to laugh at it afterwards. and we can be ourselves around eachother...i mean who else can do stupid dances in the hallway, fall down stairs, and whatnot? i so look forward to the great times i know we'll have in the future...thanks for all those heart-to-heart talks and laughs when i needed them most. <33!!
