"I do love knitting patterns."

An awesome feminist blog founded by author of two books, Full Frontal Feminism and He's A Stud, She's A Slut Jessica Valenti?

Well, for weeks I was wondering what they were going to say about Twilight.

I knew what they would say, but I wanted to see for myself.

Feministing, thank you for answering my demands.

A really odd bumper sticker.
They agree.  Twilight does not compare to Buffy.
Denial! The first stage.

And also some more books you should not pick up at your local bookstore:

The Re-Education of the Female (aka Make Me Steaks, Wear Lingerie, Give Me Countinuous Blow Jobs and We Won't Break Up)
Sense & Sexuality (aka Shame On You Slut! Shame On You!)

And also, a nice little fairy-tale for your inner-child.

If Feministing is reading this, I love you.

In case you couldn't tell, I love Lily Allen.
Her brutal, yet catchy, honesty.
Her cute little smile.
Her snappy comebacks.
Her Lily-ness.

So, in case you haven't heard, Lily dyed her hair pink, automatically making her an Audrey Kitching wannabe.

Even though Audrey Kitching is not a musician, whereas Lily is coming up with her new album, Stuck on the Naughty Step, a follow-up to 2006's Alright, Still.

Audrey has claimed Lily stole her style.
Unfortunately, Miss Kitching, you can't claim your style is stolen when you yourself copied someone else.
For example:

Gwen Stefani had pink hair long before Audrey.

So did Pink.

Don't worry, Audrey. I once faced a similar situation.
I long loved Victoria Asher's hairstyle. So I took it from her.
I wore my hair like that all the time. It became my signature hairstyle. It made me look so cute!
Then, some little bitch completely started wearing her hair like that and completely ripped off my hairstyle! Ugh!

Now, onto something less bitchy.
I bitch too much about the scene, don't I?

A friend and I were discussing originality. She is a great friend of mine and always seems to make me think more. "There is no such thing as originality." she declared. "Everyone is inspired by something."
I still to this day think about what she said.

The dictionary definition of originality:

2.	new; fresh; inventive; novel: an original way of advertising.

3.	arising or proceeding independently of anything else: an original view of history.

Can you honestly be original?
Seeing as everyone is inspired by something?
Or is the definition taken too literally, and you can actually be original?

Discuss.

And with a vengeance!

Thank you for all your concerns on my leave of absent.

It was quite therapeutic. However you spell it.

Now for you guys to become my therapy during this hectic world we call high school.
I kid, I kid.

Oh, and Vero.
Thanks for the picspam.
It was spicy.

Dear Buzznet:

It gives me deep regret to say this, but I am taking a break. I have many reasons for this break, and I will tell you.

Firstly, things aren't going so well. People have been so bitchy lately, and I'm just sick of it. I will not go into details or share who, under any circumstances, but I will just let you know that it's annoying me. I already have a shitty home life and my friends life isn't going so well either. The last thing I want is my escape from that to turn out the same way.

Next, you have become a drug. I have determined my self-worth via you, which is so unhealthy. We just need to part ways for a little bit for me to clear my mind. I need to be away from you, so that I can just clear my mind.

And finally, with school coming up, I need more time for school. I mean, you have made my grades slip ever since I joined you, and make no mistake, I will have time for you once everything is a-okay in the school department.

I am sorry, my dear Buzznet, that it had to come to this. I will occasionally pop into see how things are going. Other than that, we'll need to keep our space.

Love from,

Brittany

Why does he have to like me at a time when I was getting over a bad boyfriend?
Why does he have to be "seeing someone" right now?
Why does he have to be so confusing through his words and actions?
Why does he have to live on the other side of the state, be five years older than me, and be with someone else?
Why does he have to lure me in with 'I care about your feelings, but my gf won't call!'?
Why does he have to be SO FUCKING DAZZLING?

And why do I have to be such a fucking fail these days?

School in a week. GREAT! At least that'll give me an opportunity to borrow Breaking Dawn from the library and see how bad Smeyer is. Oh, sorry.

Ugh, I hate my life. And I sound so pessimistic now.

Sorry I fail at posting good content.

In 2010, theaters will be graced with a Disney 3D version of Alice in Wonderland, directed by famous director Tim Burton.

Source

Rumours tell that Tim Burton's partner-in-hit, Johnny Depp, will star as the Mad Hatter, and Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska will play dear Alice.

The film will be made in Plymouth, and Plymouthian extras have the opportunity to wear Victorian clothes.

Ah...

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

I'm not much of an Omlympics person, I find them kind of boring. Although Michael Phelps, so not boring. (Is he even human?)

Anyways, to be a qualified Olympic participant, you must be 16 years old. Unfortunately, an older article on He Kexin, a member of the Chinese gymnastics team reveals that she is only 14, with a brithdate of Jan. 1, 1994.
The New York Times then investigated the issue for themselves. After some digging, it was discovered that three out of six members are under 16.
But their passports state they all are 16, with Kexin's claiming her birthdate as January 1st, 1992?

S-C-A-N-D-to the A-to the L-O-U-S. Can't handle it. Can't handle it. Olympics are scandalous.

So why use younger gymnasts? The youth are more flexible than the geezers who have gone through puberty.

Of course, the International Gymnastics Federation deemed their passports valid, and are their use for eligibility.
I want to see their passports. I bet they say that He is a organ donor named McLovin.

So, if you've been reading Lily Allen's MySpace blogs, you'd know that celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton has been writing rumours about Ms. Allen, such as her hatred and feud with labelmate Katy Perry that is non-existent, that she smoked during her pregnancy, and insinuated something was suspicious about her miscarriage, which was an episode that hurt her very much, and would hurt anyone.

Well, Lily gave a little present for Perez:

But, here is why I think Perez should fear after writing such about Lil.
Because she has a posse. And they're deadly.

Kate Nash

Don't give her shit, Perez. Because we know you're full of it. Also, she carries around a tupperware bowl of deadly pumpkin soup. And it makes her happy. Very merry happy.

Leona Lewis

They say her love bleeds, but you don't want her to open up her sonic voice. Because, Perez, one "ooh" and "ah" and you might be dead.

Amy Winehouse

Word has it she's a vampire now.

Team Travis
Because they pwn. And shameless advertising is always great.

Also, if you read, Lily Allen is a vampire slayer now.

So, Perez, just a fair warning about your new favorite hobby: Trashing Lily Allen. Because, she rolls with a tough crowd. And when she sees you cry, it makes her smile. And she can knock you out, and she won't walk away.

Like, right now, I am so not in a good mood. I have to crop, edit, and watermark 69 photos. I would've gotten more, but I had some tall ass who did nothing during Cobra Starship but stand there (bastard.) and it's impossible to get a good picture when you're constantly being pushed around and hit in the head during The Academy Is...

And speaking of being pushed around, I just feel like that's what (nearly) everyone is doing it these days, and it pisses me off. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Also, I'm so fucking tired of people telling me what I am, or what music I'll like. "You would like this band." or "You're a twig." No I am not! Maybe compared to this person or that person, but I still have my baby fat and I have a booty. I'm a size 6, and yes I am rapidly losing weight because I eat less during the summer because it's not cold/rainy outside, so I'm not stuck inside eating. Or like when my sister told me what bra size she knew I had because I "barely filled out my B" so I must be an "A", even though when I try on my old As, I'm squished.

Or like my friend today. I told her I had to do all these photos, and then later she asks "Can you give me 'Hallelujah' by Paramore?" Sorry, I only share my files with friends when I want them to check out this artist. I'm not a fucking Nappster. I have other things to do. And I'm pretty sure everyone knows how I feel about "free music" and don't get me started a rant about that.

Or like how nobody is listening to anything I have to say!
HELLO! I'M RIGHT HERE AND I'D RATHER NOT TALK ABOUT SOME STUPID LITTLE BITCH WHO IS GETTING MARRIED AND HOW YOU'RE AVOIDING THE SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or like how a couple days ago I had such cool things to tell my sister about Warped Tour, but she'd rather gossip about certain people. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! Who the hell cares?

And what really annoys me is how so many people, online and off, are giving out guilt trips like there's no tomorrow. "I wanted to go Mexican, but mom said we had to go to Applebees because of you." or "Everybody yells at me when I state my opinion." Good blog, pulling guilt trips does make me apologize, it just makes me angrier.

Or people who get angry because people are talking about them. People are going to talk about you until the day you die. It's what you answer to that matters.

Is this just pre-menstrual anger, or is it just too much stacked together?
Point is, if anyone got offended by this journal, I am sorry. Truly sorry.

Today, I went to the St. Helens Warped Tour, 8/10/08. It was excellent.

I caught Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is..., Rise Against, Charlotte Sometimes, and a little bit of Automatic Loveletter, The Audition, Family Force 5, and Fall From Grace.

When my brother and I got into the venue, we bummed around, looking for the schedule. I then caught up with my real-life BFF, Becky.

I bought four T-shirts. One I decorated from Girlz Garage (it got messed up), a TAI, a Cobra Starship, and a lovely light pink one that reads "fuck cancer".

No The Academy Is... signing, missed Cobra Starship and All Time Low signing. But I met Charlotte Sometimes. And she's excellent live, and extremely nice!

And here are some stories:

When I went to the ATL signing, I nearly cried when the guy announced "They're done now!", but just as the guys were exiting the AT&T tent, a girl came in line pushing her dear friend in a wheelchair. Alex Gaskarth did an extra signing and photo just for the young lady. Aw... (hey, I found it heartwarming!)

As my friends and I were waiting for the next band to see, I was shocked to hear Charlotte Sometime's "How I Could Just Kill A Man" in the distance, as I ran over to watch her. The show was EXCELLENT! Charlotte asked the crowd "How many of you girls have an ex-boyfriend you don't like?", and needless to say, the answer was more than unanimous, as she sang "AEIOU" and she also played "Toy Soldier", which I also love. Afterwards, I introduced myself, took a picture with her, and she was more than extremely nice, even though my compliments probably sounded generic.

I somehow managed a middle spot for Gym Class Heroes. They opened with "Clothes Off!" as Travis took off his belt. I screamed my ass off. At the request from a crowd member, they played some old songs, and "Cookie Jar". Also, Travie got the crowd going by asking to "Put up your peace sign, throw your index down." My brother compared Travie to Gene Simmons. Kind of funny, but Gym Class Heroes was spectacular. Right towards the end of the last song, DeJesus crowd surfed.

While some tall ass moved in front of me so I couldn't see Cobra Starship, I tried to make the best of it. They were also quite excellent. The crowd was constantly singing along, jumping around, and screaming. If I could choose the most passionate crowd, I would say it was Cobra Starship. And FYI, when William Beckett approached the stage, there were deafening screams, and Sisky Biz RAPPED!

Towards the end of the day, my brother, and my friend Justin and his girlfriend made me see Rise Against. To be honest, I wasn't that into it. But the "Ready to Fall" song is great, but every other song was kind of "blah".

As my brother and Justin waited for Every Time I Die to start, we sat in the middle of the crowd (there was none yet) and talked as good friends. Once the crowd migrated to Every Time I Die, I ran over to get a good spot for the last band, The Academy Is..., and secured myself a nice spot up front.

After the long set-up, the band walked on stage, and screams again resurfaced as Bill smiled to the crowd. Right when the boys broke into "Slow Down", the crowd broke into "crowd surf a palooza", and there was also quite the dustbowl. I pretty much inhaled all the dust from the place. With the few glimpses I caught of TAI, it was spectacular.

Sorry, I did not give a good review. I suck at these.

More pictures coming soon! Once I get them post-ready

Last night, I was in a lazy mood, and couldn't find the remote. When...the Disney Channel Games came on. While it was watchable for someone who is terribly bored (such as me) I saw it was severely lacking something...drama.

Then, my mind wandered into this craptacular idea:

Let's take 28 Buzznet members. Split them into four teams, like the Disney Channel Games.

We've got four team captains:

Sara (xblanksface), Captain of Team Travis, who will be playing on behalf of Travis McCoy, the destruction of racism, and the Viva La White Girls.

Ashly (newageamazon), Captain of The Vampire Slayers, who will be playing on behalf of Buffy Summers, dazzling, and kicking some ass.

John (ounceofwentz), Captain of the Sunshines, playing on behalf of all that is good.

Krystyn (ikkyg), Captain of the Dazzlers playing on behalf of dazzling.

And the Captains shall pick their teams dodgeball-style. Oh the drama.

The teams shall sleep in small cabins with four bunk-bed sets, or 8 beds total. They shall ate each together in the mess hall, cafeteria style. And all of the players share two bathrooms. One for girls, one for boys. The bathrooms include toilets and showers. And small mirrors. Close quarters=DRAMA!

And if that wasn't enough?
The teams will compete against each other in games that will test their mind, body, and spirit. So many games that are cruel and unusual.
What will the winning team get?
Their behalf to win the Win Award. Such as if the Dazzlers win, the world must dazzle each other until death do they part.

Feel all the drama!

Our beautiful hosts?

Bree

Mark

This show will supply the drama that the DCGames is severely lacking.

So, what do you say?
