Random
What Band Would You Do Anything To See: Bright Eyes. I love them so much, and I would love to experience the raw emotion live. Also seeing Brand New again would be excellent, they were great the first time!
Last Show You Went To: Straylight Run, Hot Rod Circuit, and Say Anything
Best Show Experience (Explain): Definatly Straylight Run. They put on such an amazing show, and afterward we met the band. They were so incrediably nice and cool to the fans.
Describe Your Style Of Clothes: I usually just wear jeans and some sort of tee shirt with a sweater or hoodie. I get cold a lot, so I usually have to wear multiple layers. And sneakers always.
Likes: Music, Photography, Shows, Traveling, Playing the piano, My friends, Meeting new people, Studying history
Dislikes: People who are rude, slushy brown snow, not meeting my own expectations of myself, seafood, not having money
Opinion
Emo: Emo seems to have morphed into a whole way of life. The bands you listen to, what you wear, how you look, perhaps even how you act. Though I have heard a lot of people complain, I have to admit that I really don't mind that it is like that. I am glad that there is a group or a sort of "sub-culture" that I can identify with.
Abortion: I think abortion is wrong in most situations. If a woman was raped and as a result became pregnant, I suppose then an abortion is acceptable, but not after the first trimester. If a couple had unprotected sex and the woman comes to have an unwanted pregancy, then abortion is not the answer. Killing a living being because you do not want to take care of a baby is not right. There are other option in such a case (such as adoption).
Self- Mutilation aka Cutting etc..: This is such a terrible situation. When someone's problems become so great that they are unable to deal with them any other way then hurting themselves, something needs to be done. I am not slamming people who do cut or what have you, I just feel badly for them.
sXe: I happen to be sXe, but pretty much none of my friends are. I don't mind that they like to party, and when we hang out they (for the most part) respect my decision to not drink, smoke, ect. I just do it for myself. If you want to drink, do drugs, whatever, be my guest, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
War: I hate war. It seems that there is a way that people would be able to work out their problems without having to kill millions of lives. And in the end, who really benefits... the side that had 100,000 men killed or the side that had 1,000,000.. neither.
Drugs: They seem to me to be a superficial escape from reality. But, as I said above, if you do drugs that's fine with me. Just so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
