I went to Bumbershoot to hear the music & I really had a good time. I ran in to lots of people from school, but I stuck with my cousin and his friend. I only disagreed with Max and Will about Dashboard Confessional - they really couldn't stand it & so we left. I was sad, but I didn't realize how easy a time I had until I talked to everyone else.
It seems like the whole weekend was people gossiping, lying, showing off, not showing up, being dumped by friends and then turning around and ditching someone else. I had forgotten how painful and stupid it is. It's like a social battle ground, the worst of school with no structure or adults to make everyone behave a little better. It's not just my friends, I read posts where nice people feel horrible about being ditched and then in the next paragraph, they are ditching someone themselves.
I probably wouldn't do any better, I just didn't run into anyone that I wanted to avoid. I guess if they want to go to the same shows that I do, we must have something in common. I really love Bumbershoot, but it causes so much trouble, everyone started school with hurt feelings.
