i remember one hundred years ago when i was new to the internets and frequented these old-timey contraptions we used to call "aol chat rooms." the ones i liked the most were the music chat rooms cuz...well, cuz i think next to getting a tattoo, listening to music is the best thing there is. let's keep in mind this was one hundred years ago and i was between the ages of 14 and 19. there were alot of conversations that went like so:
aol teen a: DUZ NE1 HEAR LIKE GREEN DAY?
aol teen b: i do! they r my FAV band! i have both there cds! billy joe is SO HAWT!
aol teen c: you are poseurs!
aol teen d: i like their old stuff, but they are sell-outs!
aol teen e: you guys are all stupid. green day sux!
aol teen a: YOU SUX CUZ G.D R THE BEST BAND EVAR!!!11!
ah, memories.
anyway, i was just thinking about how fucking stupid people are, and for some reason, this popped into my head.
i know it's typical of 15 year olds to think they know everything. when i was 15, i thought i knew everything. and in retrospect, i was 100% incorrect. but i was 15, and that was an obligatory character flaw. but one thing i never got, and still don't get, is people considering their opinions as fact. it just bugs the shit out of me. like okay...i like alot of stuff that people find silly. and i'm cool with that. i like things for me, not to impress other people. alot of people like things that i find silly. hell, the fucking pusscat dolls went platinum. it's absurd to me that so many people like those trannies! and do i have the right to think people who like the pussycat dolls are stupid? yes i do. is it a FACT that people who like the pussycat dolls are stupid? since no formal study has been done on that particular subject, then no, it is not a fact. there could be a dozen or more people who are very intelligent and who also like the pussycat dolls. the best human being alive might well be a huge fan of the pussycat dolls. will my estimation of this person drop due to the fact that they like the pussycat dolls? probably. am i a bitch for that? most likely. but will i intensely hate this person and go "omg you are a fucking retard cuz you like the pussycat dolls!"? well, i won't say it to them. and even if i think it, i am wrong. and i just might get along very well and become bffs with said person. not all people who like the pussycat dolls are idiots. i can say this cuz i am comfortable with my own silliness and don't feel the need to be cool for anyone. now why the fuck can't everyone else in the whole world just be cool with everyone else?
god people are fucking annoying.
has anyone found mandi for me yet? i miss her.
