I am soooo tired, or maybe it’s just that I can’t see because my contacts are making everything so blurry. Blah. So anyway….I’m not really sure. The song I’m listening to is good. Was yesterday (Friday the 19th) a slow day on modblog, or was it just me? It seemed like all the top 50 people had low hits, like in the 60s. Perhaps I’ll post something of value later in the day, or maybe I should just copy an entry from my other site. I think I’ll do that…..this one’s off of the unaccessable skilar.com

Earlier this month, I was hanging out with some of my friends and we got into the discussion about labels. You know - punk, goth, prep, etc. The girl that started the discussion (lets call her Steph) had said that she wore studded bracelets to school one day, and a guy in her class asked her if she was punk. Steph went off on the guy for saying this because she want to be considered punk. She wanted to be her. I totally agree with her on this point - people should be themselves, not some pre-processed piece of mainstream junk. After she finished her story, I told her that I agreed. Later on that night, one of my other friends pointed out that I had a stud belt on and that it wasn’t too computer-geekish, and then Steph said “Does he look like a computer geek?” Yes. It was obvious to me then, so I said: “What are you calling me, punk?” If what just happened isn’t obvious to you, I’ll explain: a kid at her school called her punk for having STUD bracelets. I was wearing a STUD belt, and althought she didn’t directly call me punk, she implied it. Seeing as she was just complaining about how she didn’t want to be labeled, her saying this made me very, very, very angry. I chuckled after what I said, but I still meant it. She was doing the exact same thing that she had just said she didn’t like. People, don’t do what you say not to - it ticks others off.
