You know what I love? That fact that I have just turned 18 years old and I am a lot more grown up than people that are in all respects, older than I am.
For example: Last nite, a 19-20 year old male starts telling me I am a "poser" for listening to Simple Plan because THEY are "posers"...and that the fact that I listen to them means I have not grown up yet. Well holy christ. First of all, the word poser just makes me angry. I mean I discourage myself for even typing it, and the fact that I actually thought of frequently using the word makes me rethink who I was back whenever.
So in response I let him know...1)I don't concern myself with discovering whether other find a band I like to be "posers" or not. I don't care. I like the damn music...whether other people like it or not. And I fail to see how liking a band, even if they are "posers" would make one a poser as well. Aren't you only a "poser" if you don't truly like the music and you only listen to it to fit in well with others? Hmmmmm.....Anyway.
So Yes...I need to grow up.
I think LOTS of people need to rethink how they act versus how old they are. I mean I am definitley not saying that from now on I'm going to sit in a chair by a fireplace reading long novels and watching Masterpiece Theatre...but Jesus Christ I'm going to at least try to aquire some common sense. I hate idiots.

Well I have to work at 2. JackiE isn't working which completley sucks because she's usually one of the few reasons I'm ever glad to go INTO work on Sundays. =(
