This might sound a bit pretentious but... my feelings are sacred and I keep 'em secret.

It was funny how I seemed to portray so many traits everybody doesn't like. I think it's because when you're emo you are real in a way people just can't handle. Like deeply philosophical in a way that is too painful. (Really when you think about it, everybody that's into religion and 'deeper meaning' is very emo. Can't they go around and play football or something?)
But I don't like dramatic displays of emoness, but more subdued. Like when people are still logical and sane, but clearly disturbed about something. I hate any kind of overhyped emotions, because it all seems fake to me. None of that 'wah wah wah I'm so sad my boyfriend died.' You know when my best friend had problems she didn't even tell me, I think that's a sign of strength. I think there are just things you need to work out on your own, and even though she was upset- I knew she would be able to get over it without doing faggy shit like 'expressing our feelings.'
But like with being gay, emos will move to college where they will be able to better intellectualize their thoughts and their way of life will be embraced and pampered by overly idealistic psychology types instead of mocked by asshats who can only do things besides criticize others, until they realize they have to get a real job and everybody turns out the same anyway. Way of the world, yo.
Also, preppies SUCK and losers RULE.
