I do!

So, the imminence (and eminence) of recieving my good friends wedding invitiation in the mail (congraduatltions rhiannon!), has gotten the blob between my ears to finally turn over, albeit with the hacking sputter of archie's jalopy...with very few exceptions, my romantic life has been a withered little vestigial organ. At one point, it was ( Read more... )

A.) Not all guys in bands are like that. For example: I've never been that way, and never will. Then again, I don't make music for the sake of inflating my ego, which is why I've never gone the popular route with my choices of bands to be in.

B.) You're after a guy that doesn't exist. I can't think of any guy, myself included, that doesn't have at least TWO of those non-negotiable traits, mine being passive-aggressiveness and massive insecurity.

C.) If your boyfriend has a "sense of style", he probably is a closet case. Straight guys dress for comfort. If it looks good, bonus. But I'd rather wear cargo shorts and a T-shirt and be happy than spend 3 hours primping like a fucking peacock. I don't have to impress anyone. And if I'm TRYING to impress someone, there's something drastically wrong with me.

D.) The reason girls are so unhappy in relationships is that their wants and needs never meet in the middle. Ever.

E.) Anyone who claims to be an anarchist is actually making a public announcement that they are, in fact, completely functionally retarded. Anyone foolish enough to think that someone else wouldn't just come along and claim the now-vacant power vacum as their own is both deluded and pathetic. That's why anarchy will never work. We, as a society, crave (at least a small deegree of) ordered, peaceful existance, and anarchy cannot, and will not, provide that. Most "anarchists" haven't analyzed this and think it just means they can smoke pot legally and skateboard wherever they want. Momos.

F.) Do you define vegetarians as picky eaters? I'd like to think my belief in animal rights was more respected and less considered a means to inconvenience restaraunteurs.

G.) Any relationship that involves snogging Kitty Pryde is all aces with me.

A) Correct, not all are, hence why it's a preference. But seriously.... lets face it. The main majority of dudes while on tour, cheat. If I had a bunch of 16 year old pussy hanging all over me, I would too.

B) I disagree. I think he does exist. As matter of fact I have had numerous chances with said perfect guy, and fucked it up each and every time.

C) Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I think you are totally off on this one, and have a very wrong impression of what I mean by sense of style. Sandals and socks are comfortable, but anyone with a sane mind knows you'll look ridiculous wearing them. You can most certainly have a sense of style and not be gay. Are you saying every dude who buys a pair of Diesel Jeans over the lame dad looking jeans from JC Penny, is gay? And its completely possible to have a sense of style and be comfortable.

D)"The reason girls are so unhappy in relationships is that their wants and needs never meet in the middle. Ever." Same could be said for guys. Don’t be bias because you’re bitter. It's a pretty ballsy thing to 1) make the assumption about women in general (especially when you pointed out to me about dudes in bands) and 2) speak on behalf of women, like you know what’s going on in our mind. Or anyone's mind, really. Also, why is it wrong to not compromise on my needs and wants? Id rather be single and happy then be in a relationship where I had to compromise what I need, and be unhappy. I do believe that healthy relationships do contain a certain amount of compromise (ie: such as not getting preferences) but are not happy healthy relationships once you start losing the things that will make you un happy, such as non negotiable.

E) Thank you for recapping SLC Punk for me.

F) No, I'm taking about people who get freaked out when their food on their plate touches, or order something at a place and changed the whole meal around. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Does this mean I cant go out with this person? No. But it would be nice to not have to constantly worry about having to plan arrangments around someone who can only eat chicken fingers and frenc fries, because they see no appeal in adult food and/or trying new things.

G) Collesus has a sense of style. Those cute little shorts he wore... very European of him. And funny enough, he's not gay! <3

H) I love you. True story.

In keeping with the appendix-style comment tree.

A.) Maybe 60%. I've known guys that have, or did when they were younger, and guys that haven't. I think it has less to do with being in a band and more to do with being a scumbag, but there are two types of musicians: People who becams musicians for the music, and people who became musicians for the attention.

B.) Are you sure that he was really like that, or did you over-idealize that guy?

C.) If someone is spending $50 on a pair of jeans, there's a major issue. If you can't shop at walmart and target and make it work for you, you aren't doing it right. I clean up pretty damn well, myself.

D.) I know it's the same for guys. But here's the major difference between the two: The friend zone. Guys don't have a friend zone they shove girls into. If a guy's interested in a girl, he just doesn't pursue other girls. But he doesn't write them off permanently. Girls totally write off guys. And girls tend to prefer the asshole with the nice exterior than the average-looking friend who's perfect on the inside. If I had a dollar for every time I've gotten the friend speech, I'd be on TV firing Donald Trump.

E.) I was unaware that SLC Punk addressed that issue. I was too busy laughing at Emo Beatdown the whole movie, because I found it funny that such a nerd was so violent.

F.) I don't like my food to touch. heh

G.) Well, Russians have no sense of shame, so of course Colossus was strutting around in Daisy Dukes. lol

H.) Right back at ya.

in keeping with the appendix-style comment tree.

A.) I think it's completely possible to love music and make music because of your love for music, and happen to be a scumbag.

B.) No, he was really like that. He probably wasn’t perfect in anyone else, I mean I wasnt say thing the man was a saint.... but I am saying he was PERFECT to me, and what I wanted. Sadly, I didn’t meet his nonnegotiable’s. As I am sure there was a "I don’t date shiesty bitchy gals" clause.

C.) I dont think I own a single pair of jeans that cost under $50. And I think its very sexist of you to think such stereotypes such as "style and fashion is for women" just because it's not something you’re into. What next, we don’t belong in corporate America, only barefoot and knocked up in the kitchen? Stop seeing things so boxed in. There is no right or wrong for what people like or don’t like.

D.) What are you talking about..... I'm in YOUR friend zone. Or at least I better be shoved in there, damnit. If a girl’s interested in a guy, she just doesn't pursue other guys, so why would you think differently. I don’t pursue other guys when I like a guy, that would be ridiculous. And I think if it is already established that you don’t like someone, for whatever reason... that its ok to write them off romantically. I’ve had plenty of guys do it to me, and that’s ok.

E.) I fucking love that guy. He's on "How I Met Your Mother" now. I think he's adorable.

F.) Well then, we cant date. Oh, wait. We already established that and have written each other off.

G.) And he looked gooooooood in them. Yum.

H.) Meep!

A.) Touche!

B.) Every guy has that clause. But, in cases such as guys like me, the good girls don't want us and the bad girls know they can take advantage, so we always end up with schiesty, bitchy girls.

C.) It's not sexist if it's been proven over and over again. That's like saying pizza is awesome. It's been proven time and time again, thereby making it fact. I'm not saying it's ONLY women, but most guys do not fall into the category. And how can you justify paying so much money for a label? It's all made of the same material and all lasts as long. You're just paying a shitload of money for the tag on the back pocket. That's ridiculous.

D.) I'm in your friend zone? I'd much rather girls stop putting me in their friend zone and start putting me in their bathing suit area.

E.) Emo Beatdown is still working?

F.) That's a dealbreaker?

G.) Ew.

H.) Why are you meeping if you've got me in your friend zone?

A) I win.

B) I'm pretty sure the Good Will Hunting line wins this one.

C) Listen, I wasnt saying I wouldnt date a dude who didnt spend a hefty sum on jeans... I said I wouldnt date a guy who didnt have style. Hello, look at the scumbaggage i hang out with. You think any kid hanging out at backbooth is wearing $100 designer jeans? No. But they still look good. But i can also understand if one does dish out for designers. I do believe, very strongly, that said materials in the long run, hold up better than cheap material. Which is why places like Target, ect. can keep their prices low.

D) Yes, you're in my friend zone. Just like I am in your friend zone. **Dr. Phil Voice** You need to come to terms with the fact that the friend zone exists, and not only does it exist, it serves a purpose, and its OOOOKKKKKKAYYY

E) Apparently so. Who knew?

F) No. But it sure is annoying.

G) Shut it, mr. bathing suit area.

H) Meeping is not a means of flirting! Do not insult the meep!

Before I get to the appendices goodness...Ii feel I should address 2 key issues here: #1. It is very important to know what you want and #2. It is equally important to not waiver on said things. One should never settle for less than what they want. I've never met a person who was completely happy because they did so.

Alrighty...on with these appendices...

A.) Yes, it is quite possible to love music, create and perform music for that purpose and still be a bag of douche. This is not an attack on anyone's manhood and while it is true that some guys wouldn't do the aforementioned deed, there are still many guys who do. The plaintiff will also note that females are not the only victims in this game.

B.)Please allow a quote from Good Will Hunting: "You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you've met she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other." Endy fucking story.

C.)It matters not how much you pay for your jeans, but how you rock 'em. But that doesn't mean that all jeans are created equally. The White Stag Jeans you buy at Wal-mart will never match the quality of those that are sold from some emo twig who resides behind a Lucky or Diesel counter. But girls like a guy with a sense of style. And if they date the guy who is seriously lacking, it's because she thinks that she can change his habits (a very silly and serious misconception on the female's part). Boys with style do not equal homosexuals nor do they equal metrosexuals. It's a confidence thing.

D.) Boys are just as guilty as putting the girl in the friend zone; however, I think both parties are at fault here. If you advertise yourself as a friend, then chances are, you will be classified as a non-sexual entity. Here is your shovel, you've planted yourself there. But if you truly believe that your friend is the one, go out and make it happen. The fact of the matter is that we've become all to complacent in our role as the friend that we don't want to "lose the friendship". For better or for worse, it's better to be honest. See Chasing Amy.

E.) Love the Jason Segal.

F-H.) I really can't comment, so I'll just take a small bow.

nootch.

I'd like to discuss the fact that 1) you gave no love to be in item H. But that is not nearly as bad as the crime of not giving Kitty Pryde love in item G.

WHO ARE YOU WOMAN!?!?!?

Re: Sitting Silent For The Longest Time f0r_want_0f March 14 2008, 05:47:44 UTC
I had an awesome response typed up and Livejournal ate it, so this is take 2.

A.) You're quite right. I've had 4 girlfriends cheat on me, including the girl I lost my virginity to when I was 16.

B.) best dialogue in Robin Williams' entire acting career, and probably the most poigniant as well.

C.) I'm a fat kid. I have never found jeans I looked good in. Therefore, I just wear what I feel comfortable in.

D.) I don't reserve people to the friend zone. Personally, I feel that the best lovers start as friends, and that your lover should be your best friend. I think a lot of people use the friend zone as a means for writing people off. Personally, I think it's important to keep an open mind and an open heart.

Also, I loved how you called me on being in Pilots after I said I've never gone the popular route with my bands. But you have no idea how much stupid factors have kept me out of bands. I don't play double-bass, so the hardcore kids want nothing to do with me. And when I played in Pilots, I got a shit ton of grief from my hardcore kid friends for playing in a "pussy-sounding" band. lol

I dont know any hardcore kids that dislike people for listening to "pussy-sounding" music. Were we friends with the same crowd????

Anyone, you don't play double-kicks... we cant be friends anymore.

I can play the "NOFX" beat ridiculously fast with just one foot. I think hardcore bands use the double bass thing as a crutch, and I think hardcore sounds heavier when plaued chunkier, which is why I love bands like 108 versus All Out War.

Re: Sitting Silet For The Longest Time samantha_mae March 14 2008, 04:35:50 UTC
I don't like 108 or All Out War.

I do like MU330 and Gwar.

Thats close, right?

hahaha.

The end.
