    The Dude is right.

     

    I worked at Krogers, and I was being bullied by most of my co-workers. I was fired a month after I started working there, but if I hadn't been, I would have quit.

     

    I asked for a transfer to a different section of the store, and ended up getting canned by this enormous prick of a manager. He probably was the biggest bully out of all of them.

     

    I tend to be eccentric, and play by my own rules. That makes me a lot of enemies.

    Alice was the first song she wrote completely by herself, that became a hit single.

     

    She also wrote Slipped Away by herself, but that never was a single.

    I think another one was that she hated acting, and that she was quitting Harry Potter to become a teacher.

     

    Admittedly, she did go to college, but acting is her true calling. I notice that she quit college to go back to acting. ;)

    I am a HUGE Avril Lavigne fan, and the new album is my favorite. It's mature, catchy, and melancholy...all stuff that I enjoy.

     

    But I can also see how that wouldn't appeal to people younger than me. I have a friend who's 20 (she was 19 and I was 27 when we became friends, we took a college class together), and she absolutely hates the new Avril. She prefers the first two albums.

     

    Whereas I prefer the last two albums, and am not a huge fan of the first two. :P

     

    Oh well, different tastes!

    Children Growing Up Too Fast

    Alcohol really isn't that special. Neither are drugs. However, many teenagers use them as social outlets, and that's where things go wrong.

     

    I only drink on special occasion. I saw Jimmy Eat World live a month ago, and had a glass of beer. I will be seeing Rush live in two weeks, and I also will be drinking beer.

     

    However, to drink just to drink...I don't see the point. I had birthday vodka shots for my 23rd birthday, and I (once again) saw it as pointless. I would rather drink beer, than that nasty vodka.

    I was bullied in H.S. because I liked older music (prog rock bands like Genesis, Floyd, Rush, King Crimson, etc.) I got hell especially for Genesis, who everyone saw as uncool.

     

    Now that they've been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, they're having a sudden second wave of popularity. Many high school students are members of the Genesis forum I belong to.

     

    I've always gone my own way, and done my own thing. And that has always deemed me as unpopular among most of my peers. What can I say...I'm a creative and artistic person, I don't like being part of the crowd.

     

    But I definitely feel for those that are highly sensitive and get hurt by trying to fit in, and don't. I always associated with the fellow outcasts, but some people just struggle to even make a friend, even with a fellow outcast. I feel bad for those people, because everyone deserves to have a friend, and to be liked and appreciated for who they are.
