Friends Cut

I hate doing this. But I just started up college again, and the only thing I'm going to be talking about from now on is like...the Jonas Brothers. I honestly just cannot keep up with my friends list the way it was. I feel awful because I tend to deal with being overwhelmed by avoiding and not commenting on anyone's stuff. I'd like to remedy that, and have a small flist of people I feel incredibly close to. If I cut you, it's just because our interests have drifted, or we haven't really talked in a long time.

Thanks for understanding.

Friends cut

It's truly nothing personal to those of you I cut, I just couldn't keep up with my flist anymore and I'm hoping to keep it down to people I've connected with or talk to a lot. If you want to talk to me about it, comments are screened, so feel free to leave one. I wish you all the best.

UH...HEY GUYS. I took an accidental hiatus and abandoned you all! I'M SORRY. SOMETIMES I FAIL EPIC AMOUNTS.

And I have some new friends so that was really bad timing, I haven't really had a chance to get to know you yet and I'm already acting like an awful, spazzy friend. I'M SORRY. I'LL TRY TO DO BETTER.

I had a truly fantastic Thanksgiving, like...the best one in awhile, I legit had fun the entire time. My family is crazy but fun. Also, I was sleep deprived! This helps me be less socially awkward around family members! \o/ NOW I KNOW THE SECRET. And I dragged my dad to see Twilight on Friday (SECOND TIME AROUND, IT IS EVEN MORE LOLARIOUS AND DAZZLING) and he was amused. And would see the second one. I love my dad. (On Thursday, my four year old cousin was running around and saying he was a vampire, so my dad asked if he sparkled. BEFORE HE EVEN SAW THE MOVIE, MIND YOU. So much win.)

So uh, since I left y'all without warning, how about an Audrey picspam to make up for it? (KALA DID HER JAC ONE AND NOW I'LL DO AN AUDREY ONE. SEE HOW IT WORKS?)

( would you like the company or are you sick of meCollapse )

So I promised you bitches a spam, and you're getting a goddamn spam, alright?

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SMALL, BUT THEN IT JUST KIND OF...EXPLODED. IDK.

( The theme is whatever Shay decided she wanted to include.Collapse )

Oh my god, bedtime for Shay. I don't even know what just happened.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY bsidetales! I adore you Beth bb.

( So here is a picspam of cupcakes for you, on your day of birth!Collapse )

HI, I'M ABOUT TO RANT ABOUT SOMETHING STUPID NOW.

So Miley Cyrus did something kind of stupid and took some "sexy" pictures for her ex-boyfriend (Nick Jonas, not that anyone's really dragging HIS name through this) and people, of course, are being judgmental little assholes about it. "OMG SHE'S DISGUSTING" "WHAT A HO" etc.

I cannot tell you how much this angers me. Like, I just. Can't. I like Miley Cyrus and all, but even if I hated her this would piss me off intensely. Oh my god, a 15 year old girl took some generally tame pictures for her boyfriend! WHAT AN AWFUL ROLE MODEL. Fucking hell.

She's fifteen years old and that's young, yes. But you know what? I remember being fifteen. I remember being fifteen and being sexual. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I don't think there's anything wrong with a high school girl exploring sexuality, as long as she's careful. Sex is fun. But I forgot, yes. Girls CAN'T be sexual. Miley Cyrus can't dare take private pictures of herself in a wet t-shirt, Audrey Kitching can't model in a bikini, Vanessa Hudgens can't take naked pictures of herself for her boyfriend. Because it's showing off your body. It's sexual. Slutty. Wrong. It sets a bad example, to be proud of your body. To want other people to see it. It's just like porn. Disgusting. Girls are supposed to be demure. No sex until marriage. Keep your legs closed, don't wear a low-cut top, what are people going to think about you?

I truly hate people sometimes. I hate double standards and I hate the instant hatred for any girl who isn't perfect and most of all, I HATE that this sort of thinking comes from people who I've generally liked in the past. What the actual fuck.

Oh wow.

So, I'm going to make this as brief as I can, but I just wanted to spread this around.

A blog entry of Keltie Colleen's in which she talks about being harassed by supposed Panic fans. It's, to be completely honest, sickening. Whatever you may think of Keltie, whether you love her or hate her, she's just a girl. And she doesn't deserve this. Christ, you guys, she's lost a job because of the hatred being put out by these people.

And because other people will always say it much better than I can, here and here are some posts about Keltie and this situation.

I just. I love this girl with all my heart, I truly do. And all she's ever done is dance, exist, and love Ryan Ross. That's it. You know, I see a lot of people saying she's only with him for the fame, but fuck that. No one would put up with this abuse unless they were in love.

And I just want to thank my friends list for being better than this. Hell, just for being normal, mature, decent people. I have friends who dislike her, which is completely fine by me! Different strokes and all that. But the blind hatred, and the idea that it is completely okay to harass her and hope for her death just because she's dating a dude in a band? Yeah. It isn't okay. And I'm just so thankful that I've surrounded myself with you guys, because I would honestly throw up if I had someone like this on my friends list. Fuck.

This is it, you guys. I'm finally done. I'm so proud of it. I love these girls so freaking much, and I wanted to do them justice. I hope I did.

( WELCOME TO PART TWO OF MY GIGANTIC SCENE QUEENS PRIMER THING!Collapse )

HEY REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I HAD THINGS TO TALK ABOUT? STILL DO. WELCOME TO THE RANT...

1. It bothers the fuck out of me that people still assume Jac Vanek does nothing other than take pictures of herself. Because she IS in college, and she does have to maintain her GPA, and she's running a business, all of which means she's DOING THINGS OTHER THAN PARTYING AND YOU'D KNOW THAT IF YOU'D TAKE A SECOND TO LEARN. And honestly, even if she did nothing, why exactly does that make her worthless? I do way less than she does. I don't have my own business or go to college. But I drink. I take random crappy pictures of myself and post them online. GUESS THAT MEANS I FAIL AT LIFE.

2. I swear to god, the next time I see "LOL I know personal posts/posts about your life/etc. are boring, but here I am making one!" I am going to shoot a baby. THANKS, THANKS FOR TELLING ME THAT 90% OF POSTS THAT I MAKE, THAT MY FRIENDS MAKE, THAT MOST PEOPLE ON LJ MAKE ARE COMPLETELY BORING AND WORTHLESS. Also, does everyone really hate them? Really now? LAST TIME I CHECKED, I AM PART OF EVERYONE, AND I DON'T.

3. Also, I'm truly sorry that I keep commenting on your posts when you clearly don't want me to. It would actually be better if you ignored my comments instead of making bored replies that make it seem like you seriously wish I'd shut up. That's real nice. And classy!

4. Hating Ryan Ross is not a valid lifestyle choice anymore. Things have changed for him, but that's okay.

5. Speaking of hate. If you seriously hate everything about me and Kala, or if you think we're not going to make it, or if you roll your eyes every single time I post about her? You're probably better off defriending me right now. This isn't a ship that's going to crash and burn, so please don't bother sticking around to watch the wreckage. I'd hate to disappoint you.

6. And to bookend this with a scene queen thing: You hate Audrey Kitching because you're exactly like her in some ways. Only less awesome. Sorry to say.

Wow, rants. Uh, that's not all about one person, and some are kind of general. That's all the drama I've got right now, though! IT FEELS NICE TO TALK ABOUT IT. Thnks fr th thrpy, flist!
