Peer Pressure
Peer Pressure: social pressure by members of one's peer group to take a certain action, adopt certain values, or otherwise conform in order to be accepted.
It’s a serious thing kids… and I succumbed to peer pressure-it’s true. It’s hard to resist… you know… when friends actually make an LJ account for you and tell you you have to use it. So… here I am… I’m user… and I don’t want help. Move over Amy Winehouse-I’m not going to rehab either.
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! Well, here’s my first LJ post everyone! I’ve kept a diary since I was in 3rd grade… and then that died when I first went to college 3 years ago. So I started keeping a blog of some sort… I forget on which site. And then that died… and then I joined Blogger earlier this year… and that died over the summer… So I’m sensing a pattern here-how bout you? But, thanks to peer pressure, this may no longer happen. THANKS PEER PRESSURE! **Cheesy smile and thumbs up**
I guess I’ll start off by talking about Prophecy… since this indirectly is what lead to my LJ account. I had a fabulous time! I met some people from Leaky, through my dear friend, Lisa, and I mad so many connections with people I had never met or even IMed with before… it was so strange. It was like I’ve known these people all my life… and yet I had only met them for a few days and by the end of the conference, I was crying with them because we had to say goodbye. So strange. I’ve have connections like that before with people from online communities-and those who have never experienced it are not only missing out, but also completely clueless as to how it could happen and views those who have experienced it as weirdos. And I must admit, that-before I encountered friends from online and experienced these connections, I never would have believed it either and told that person who’s claiming that there would be a connection to go smoke some more crack and then be prepared to have NBC call their asses out on national television or something. But no-it’s truly surreal and I count myself as being truly blessed for have founding these amazing people and being luck enough to be invited into their open arms and experiencing the Leaky Love right along with them. WHOOP! WHOOP!
*hums* this cauldron’s got a hoooole in it…
