Vertigo Reunion.

[scarlett_vaughn]

So there's a Vertigo reunion coming up. For those of you in Cincinnati, I know that most of you are shaking your heads and going on about how much better you are in having moved on and don't need it or that you're somehow better than most of those "stupid goths". The thing is, we're not better. We're just different. Sure, perhaps some of those people could have made different choices and turned their lives into something you'd approve of but why should they? You're not paying their bills. You're not dealing with them so why does it bother you that they exist? I'll be the first to admit that there are people from that part of my life that I didn't like. I'll also be the first to admit that there are plenty of people from that time that probably didn't and still don't like me. Them's the breaks. I'll go and see the ones I want to see and ignore the ones I don't. I refuse to dwell on the negative. It's something that I've recently been trying to do a lot more of. There's no reason to shoot an event down before I even go because all that does is guarantee that I'll not have any fun and I'll probably drag people down around me. Will people be drunk and annoying? Sure. Will they be any more drunk and annoying than any other week? No. Probably not. Don't like it? Don't go. But if you do go, please try to be happy that there are people out who like you and try not to be so judgmental. You might find that in spite of yourself you'll have a better time in the process.

We could all fill a book with what we don't know about what really goes on in the lives of those around us so jumping to conclusions about them sure does make us look like the idiots we profess to hate. This is my opinion. You are free to take it or leave it.
