Obviously you care enough about your image that you won't reveal who you really are. Maybe I am not Miss Popular, and to you I am only "pseudo-pretty" but if you look around the majority of kids in school aren't popular nor model perfect. I've been on student council for 2 years now, and I actually like to participate in helping in school events. Hell yeah, this will look great on a college application, I plan to go somewhere in my life and not waste my time posting anonymous comments on people's livejournals. I am glad to hear your imput and thanks so much for making time in your life to comment on something you really couldn't give a fuck about. Yes, in a way image does matter to me, I like to be liked, who doesn't? But I am not one of those people to spend tons of money on Abercrombie and Fitch, and get my nails done every week. I am sorry you find my flyers unfunny, other people seem to enjoy them. So my advice to you is to ignore my posters, ignore the whole campaign if it really gets under your skin so much that you must post anonymous comments trying to down a person. Thanks for you time, and just so you know I am still in the running and I don't plan to drop out. There will be more flyers and more posters, so you are going to have to get over it. I may win, and if I don't oh well, I had a good time doing it, it's not the end of the world to me. I will get over it, just as you will get over it if I win.
i didn't leave you a comment so you could drop out. honestly, you'd probably be a better candidate than most. so what? i voiced my opinion on what i think of you? the beneficial factor of all this is that you don't know who's writing these messages because no one else is going to tell you the truth. think of this as bullshit. think of this as rude, cruel, and unnecessary, but if you can't except constructive criticism, then good luck on getting thru life. what, you thought i left that comment because i want you to drop out? you think i left that comment because i'm another candidate jealous or something? well if you assume that, don't. it's not like that. its the fact that i've known you too long and i've watched you change too much, ashley. if you MUST know who this is, it's CATHY NGUYEN.
and krackspoon, i don't have to keep ANYTHING to myself. i possess as much freedom as anyone else in the world. i'm allowed to have an opinionated mind. do you think anyone else would say what i did to anyone else? as much as you or ashley think i do, i DON'T care about my image. so this makes me look like an insecure bitch? so be it. but please, don't be hypocritical and assume that i slit my wrists or i'm emo or mad at the world because i voice my opinion about ONE thing. go ahead judge me as i did you. i'll be glad to listen.
ashley, you know who i am. i didn't do this because i have beef with YOU. i'm voicing my opinion. take it or not. it doesn't matter to me. perhaps i was being harsh as fuck in the previous comment, but that's me. if you didn't like the comment, you should have just deleted.
Honestly I did find the comment harsh, but I get over things. I am not a person to spend time worrying over other people's opinions. If you look in my reply back I thanked you for voicing your opinion on the matter. You may have taken it in a sarcastic way. I can take constructive criticism but I don't see any in your comment. I take constructive criticism every day from my parents, teachers and coaches. I know how to take it. I took it as someone who didn't want me to run, someone who though that I was a bad choice for the candidacy. And now I know I was wrong about that. The though of you being another candidate didn't even cross my mind. Yeah you have known me for a long time, but how the hell have I cahnged so much? What, have I suddenly turned into the typical highschool student because I now have blonde hair. I am myself, and I have always been myself. Thank you for voicing your opinion. But you really don't know me anymore. So I don't see where you get off saying that I am in it just to be popular. Yes I have changed but I havn't changed into a clone of the typical high school teen. I just don't understand why this is such a concern for you.
i never said anything about your blonde hair or you being a typical high school student. exactly what is the "typical high school student"? i never said that you are a bad choice for candidacy. i admit, i was harsh and wrong in leaving such a drawn-out cruel comment just to you when i should have left it for every candidate. no, i don't think a high school student council election is going to ruin the world (as your friend krackhead or whatever thinks) but i view it as another trend that has brainwashed the school, and sure, people can say it has nothing to do with me or "just don't vote and get over it", but it does have something to do with me if i attend that school. the annoyance from the amount of posters and flyers is multiplying faster in me than the actual signs themselves. no it's not just eye-annoyance that provoked my comment. what provoked my comment was that you know and i know that so many people are doing this to prove their popularity status. i apologize for having assuming that about you for that makes me just as bad as they are. just as hypocritical as they are in doing so. honestly, i think i'm still subconsciously angered at "dan the man" for winning ninth grade president and from then on, i never really voted for anything or cared because that was my proof of high school student council election = popularity status election. you know what i mean by that. i know you know what i mean because you've been there. by no means do i get off in anyway while i'm thinking of you (note the sarcasm) because that would just be ... not cool. you're right. this doesn't concern me that you want to run for whatever reason ... i never said you changed into a clone of the "typical high school teen", ashley. i think i know you more than you think. but like i said before and i'll say it again this is really not my concern.
i can sense the anger from you. don't you think that if you didn't think some part of what i said before was right, you wouldn't be as mad?
i'm not going to say 'ah im sorry i didn't mean to offend you' because i'd be lying. that was my complete intention of my very first comment to you, but as i said before. i was wrong in addressing it only towards you because it should be addressed towards all candidate ... perhaps not in those exact words, but you know.
another thing is ... too many bitches are just out campaigning to get vote (i know, state the obvious why don't i), but what really gets me is they just act like they care. pretend like they care until they get that vote and until they're satisfied ... then they drop you. what a simple little game, hm?
In my opinnion the typical high school teen, is one of those girls who all look the same. Wear all the same labels and have the same hair color. Most (but not all) have an attitude that they are so hot and better than everyone, and they are the ones that are in the election for popularity. You may disagree with this, but it's what I see.
I completely agree with you. High School elections have always been and always will be popularity contests. It's very unfortunate but that's how it is. Trust me, I don't like it. I know I'm not quite as cool and not liked as much as Lillian. I have never considered myself popular, and every year when I have ran I try not to go out and beg for votes from people I never really talk to. Yes, I have fallen victim to this a few times, but I try to avoid it. It's fucked up to only befriend someone just to gain a vote, then drop them.
The only part of any commet you left that angered me was that you called me 'pseudo-pretty'. When I read it, I though what the hell is this person's problem with me. I've never though of myself as beautiful, or hot. But I do have confidence in the way I look. When someone calls you that, I think anyone would be a at least a little offened.
What you said the first time was cruel. And this may make me sound like a bitch (which I am sometimes) but I don't think that I am necessarily one of the people that are in it for straight up popularity.
The whole election has gotten out of hand. The flyers are everywhere and I don't even think anyone stops to read them anymore. I think that they're annoying too. Everyone is going crazy with it this year. I will really be glad when it's over. Yes, I did my fair share of flyers and posters. But it's kinda what you have to do to get your name out there.
It sucks but no matter what this is going to be a popularity contest. And I hated "Dan the Man"'s whole thing too. That just showed how shalow and lame most high schoolers are.
But seriously thanks for what you've said. I just wish that all the other kids in school could get the realizations that you have.
Again, I apologize for what I said before. Calling you pseudo-pretty was a weak and pussy stab at your self-confidence. I do believe that you should have confidence in yourself, and will you look at that ... Because you did, you won! I'm satisfied that you won because 1) Lillian probably would have been a great president and all, but there's that part of her (I can tell) that yearns for that popularity vote and 2) John simply just wanted to be the first gay president.
Seriously, though, Ashley, I'm glad you won, and I'm sorry I took my anger out on you earlier this week. It was seriously uncalled for and I hope that all this is squashed. I know I've been ignoring you and avoiding you and I know all this shit has been tripping you out, but let's just squash it and forget it. I am to falter for all this drama. You know I hate high school drama, and I cannot beleive that I had stooped so low and caused it without taking your feelings into consideration.
I don't think that I deserve your "thank you" because I was so cruel to you. It's true, though. You have changed, but all of us have changed. I can see that you have changed for the best and perhaps a little for the worse, but we are all human. No one is perfect, and I ceased to keep that in mind as I was ignorantly labeling and jugding you. Once again, I appologize. I didn't vote because I knew people would be freaking out over who voted for who, and I wasn't in the mood to lie to others or choose one friend over another. I know. I should have made the right decesion and voted for whoever I thought would do a great job, but like I said, I want to steer clear from drama outside out theater. I hope things are better between us, and don't be shocked that you won. Honestly, don't.
Thanks, things are fine between us. We are cool. Let's just put the whole thing in the past. I still love ya! And will I be seeing you in Drama 4 with me next year?
