has anyone heard that song, "i write sins, not tragedies" by panic! at the disco? i first heard it by seeing the video on mtv, and thought it was just a weird weird song. but then i decided i really liked the song... it's really catchy and a cool commentary on how people love to gossip behind friend's backs. it reminded me very much of the movie, friend with money, which had the same theme of these four friends who truly loved each other. but every time they were alone in couples or threes, they would just start talking about someone else in the group, sometimes in a way that seemed loving or full of concern, but was just a thin veil to justify the fact that they were gossiping. or sometimes it was a veil to cover up gossip borne out of jealousy and a desire to make themselves feel good about themselves. it's very condemning to see it on-screen. but later on, i thought about all the times i've done that in my own life, and i felt really bad. i definitely think if there's one thing i struggle with it's gossip. and reading those trashy celebrity gossip rags does not help the matter at all.
