If it's popular, I probably don't like it.
If it's underappreciated, I probably love it!

Books
The literary excursions of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, George Orwell, and the countless others who continually jumpstart my imagination and make me strive to be a better person.
Heroes
Kids[or inverse-grown-ups]! Those who love. The down to earth. The anti-trend. ANYONE who has respect and respects themselves.
Sometimes I draw things for bands, the music industry, and people. Other times I make music [guitar, piano, and drums being my favorites]. I have a clothing company called Sleeping In [feel free to add it if you want!]. I love my friends and making new ones. [PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE ME FOR ART ON MYSPACE. For any art inquiries, the best place to contact me would be my email. Thank you.]
No problem. :) Exactly, if everyone were straight edge, it wouldn't mean anything. Not only that but if everyone were the same life would be unbelievably boring.
I really liked yours, it's one of the best ones in my opinion to be honest. Not trying to suck up or anything, ahaha. But seriously, especially when you brought up some kids getting a 'religious like' attitude. It's so true.
Haha i guess so! It was trippy. I spent like 20 minutes reading all of them cuz it had been awhile since i'd been on there, opened a new tab and checked myspace, read the bulletin, went back over to IUTBSE, scrolled down and there you were!
Literally within 5 minutes of reading the bulletin you posted today entitled "Straight Edge - Okay this is lol-worthy" I read your story on iusedtobestraightedge.com
well i had an interview for a job today, but when i showed up there i found out that the manager had forgotten i guess and wasn't in & so i didn't get my interview. they said they'd call back which i'm sure they won't so i will have to, the whole thing is just bullshit i'd say, ha. that sounds like a pretty sweet deal having your own clothing company lol, maybe i should just make my own damn job:p
hahaha, awwww. is that good or bad? lol blahhhh, im helping my mom translate with the cops about a missing persons report for her friend's son :/ what a lame day.
