Okay, let me preface this by saying that in real life, I am a rather shy and quiet girl. I don't rage, I don't yell, and I definitely don't mosh. I am sometimes intimidated by aggressive people, large crowds, and loud noises. I'm also quite small (5'2", 110 pounds) and therefore easily crushed. These are some of the reasons why I haven't gone to an

Are you SERIOUS about the people on the OMB saying that? Dear CHRIST. I would ask what the hell is wrong with people, but that would just be a waste of time. I get REALLY angry when I hear about things like this, people who act like they're so much *BETTER* than me because they found out about AFI before I did. Well, good for them, but I live in Indiana, which is GREAT if you like Nascar racing, but NOT if you want to find some good music. If it hadn't been for MTV, I would have never found out about them, and if I had never found out about them...I don't know where my life would be right now. So you enjoy yourself, and I'll use my Jedi mind tricks to elbow any elitist assholes in the face who might give you a hard time about going!

You know, it's funny, because I get told a lot that I'm intimidating. I honestly think that people think so because I have a REALLY loud voice; even when I'm stuttering or I'm not sure what I'm talking about, my voice completely hides that fact. I find you intimidating because of your intelligence; the fact that you really think about what you're going to say, how seriously you take your writing (which I take mine seriously, but you are SERIOUSLY dedicated to yours, whereas most of the time I'm just winging it), and really...it's because you're smart. I love being around smart people, but I'm intimidated by them, because I feel like I've fooled everyone around me into thinking that I'm super intelligent, when really, I'm not. I'm actually quite ditzy and because I grew up in Indiana, where our educational system is HORRENDOUS, I'm not as smart as everyone thinks I am. But. That's my own issues coming into play, not a reflection on you.

Now that you know more about me than you probably EVER wanted to know...

Hee, don't worry about the calling! I was only halfway kidding. And I understand about trying to keep your slasher status a secret...I had to do that when I was younger, and it wasn't much fun at all. But I'll definitely be looking forward to your report when you get back!

Haha, I'll let you in on a little secret: it's not so much that I'm really smart, it's just that I hate being wrong, or maybe that I always think I'm right. I think my fear is that I'm not really as smart as I think I am, and people will call me on it. Speaking of horrendous educational systems, try California on for size. I think we rank like #42 in the U.S.

*sigh* I don't think I'll ever be able to come out of the slash closet, because I don't imagine "Hey sweetie, did you know that when you're not around, I like to read and write hot boy-on-boy action starring members of my favorite band? Oh, and just because I have sexual fantasies involving Davey Havok doesn't mean I don't love you" would go over well with the BF.
