    I know hey! I bought the NICEST hat yesterday. It's so awesome. There was so many nice ones to choose from though, was a difficulty deciding.
  2. Kiki Active Member

    Mm, agreed! I totally love hats, and I suit 'em, too. =D I'm just obsessed with 'em, lol! The last hat I wore was a beige baret! :)
  3. Pork Active Member

    Yeah I can wear hats, they suit me pretty well. The one I bought is a dark brown felt hat...slash beanie...hard to explain.
  4. Kiki Active Member

    Ah well, it sounds pretty cool! :)

  6. Kiki Active Member

    Mm, I know the feeling. -_- I get called "scene" because I... -get this- ... have friends who are (if you wanna use some form of stereotype) metalheads. How weird is that? :confused: And I get called "emo" because some of my friends have bouts with depression and also... because... I like... gothic clothing. O_O *Sigh* Never been called "grudge", though, but I do like the music genre. And I like punk fashion. =D (Some of it, I'm not a big fan of the 'I Hate Pink Floyd' tops, lol :p)

    *Raises hand* I kinda wish that I was... somewhat decent at some form of sport, just fer fitness and the like- but I'm REALLY un-co. -_- But I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses. O_<

    I know what you mean but I just don't believe in using stereotypes. I was just saying I get called them a lot.

    Anyway, the clothes really don't matter when it comes to the type of person you are. Not to me at least. I mean, whose idea was it to automatically associate hippies with long hair and flowered shirts? I thought hippies believed in the opposite of doing what everybody else is to be unique and transcendentalism--well, they're pretty much the same thing. I studied Thoreau and Emerson a lot last year and how their beliefs influenced a lot of the 60s young adults to strive to live in a simplistic and easy lifestyle rather than be associated with wars and materialism. Like I said, clothes are just clothes. If I find something decent looking enough, I'll wear it. I don't shop just because of a certain label or style I wanna use for myself. I don't think that they define you or anything but beh...again, that's me.

    I totally agree with you, Ailie.

    Oh, someone considers him/herself a "hippie"? Why? Because he/she wears tie-dye? Granny glasses? Worships the Dead? I doubt any of these people have read Walden or Self-Reliance.

    And yes, clothes are just clothes. Like I said, I shop at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. I don't care about labels. I don't need a $500 pair of sneakers. I don't need $100 sunglasses. The pair I picked up for $7.50 suit me just fine, and, I assume serve the same function as the ridiculously expensive "name" brand. That goes for my whole wardrobe. When you pay $ for a "name," you're only paying for the label.

    Clothing does not make a person "hip," "cool," "nerdy," "grunge," etc. Again, that's labelling, and I despise labelling.
  9. Kiki Active Member

    No, you are totally right, I couldn't agree with you more. It comes down to who you are as a person and your lifestyle. Fer r'instance, I think of hippies as people who do alternative things and who question authority and such, but again in the 60s a lot of 'em looked quite alike. And not all hippies were all "peace and love", in fact, that was rarely the case. I'm gonna use my Aunty as an example, because in the 1960s she fronted those anti-war marches with Jim Cairns, and she lived the stereotypical hippie lifestyle, too.

    Yeah, I can't stand it though when people actually take stereotypes seriously. Like, example: My closest schoolfriend and I are pretty different human beings when it comes to opinions (and yes, style), but we get along really well. And everyone else is like, "I don't see how you guys get along, you're sooooo different. You Katie are, like, a hippie person who loves flowers..." -okaaaay- "...and stuff and your friend's an emo" REEEALLY annoys me!
    I gotta be honest, though. I am guilty fer using stereotypes. But I'm very careful about it, I don't accuse anyone of being any of those stereotypes like in those cliched highschool movies. XP
    Amen! And I'm totally the same about labels, couldn't give a rats about 'em. *Nodnod* People who spend 500 bucks on cheaply-made (but trendy) runners /really/ need to get a life. And I buy a lot of cheap clothes too, heehee (I LOVE op-shops). Although it depends, really.
    I know people find fashion a hassle, but I get a real kick of of it because it's an intrest of mine (I wanna get into makeup/costume design, too) and -call me materistic- I get a lot of pleasure out of looking at all the different kinds of fashion throughtout the decades and such. I actually really enjoy fashion, but I'm not one of those people who are like, "oh, she much be an emo, look at what she's wearing" or shallow like, "oooh, oh my, she's got a fake Lois Vuitton bag, how tacky!" And another reason why labelling is annoying is because people (esp. young girls) get the impression that they HAVE TO belong to a group of some sort and wear what that certain group has to wear but... dude! I'm so against that!

    10 Signs you are Em (Me. Haha, palindromes!)
    1. You are a nerd
    2. When you get bored, you look up information on the Muppets and can therefore name half of the muppeteers
    3. You want to be a film maker/writery/acting person
    4. You spend too much time on YouTube and make videos about the things that bother you
    5. You contemplate making a shipping video of your friend and Kermit the Frog as a birthday gift to them.
    6. You hate politics because they make people angry
    7. Sesame Street rumors like the one about cookie monster becoming veggie monster annoy you to the point where you make a youtube video about them
    8. You hate gangsta-ness, preppiness, twilight, the hills and miley cyrus
    9. You cried at the studio dc thing because it was just so horrible and Animal would never flirt with Miley Cyrus because he gave his heart to Rita Moreno because she smashed his head in with symbols.
    10. You have no problems performing in front of people you don't know, but have a fear of talking to them.

    I feel like we should do a "10 signs you're Jim Henson." That would be easy, because most of those would be "You are awesome."
  11. Ilikemuppets New Member

  13. EmMonster New Member

    I am 7 1/2 of those... My words blend together, but I'm not from Maryland (though I do live in Virginia, but I've been doing it since I was a kid in Massachusetts.)
  14. Pork Active Member

    number 8 is me exactly! It can be frustrating...especially when people point it out that you say sorry a lot...it's like...I KNOW, I'm sorry.
  15. Kiki Active Member

    Yep! Well, fer 10, I once wore ray-bans with clear lenses and my friend said I looked like Garth. :shifty:
    And fer 6, surprisingly, I love drawing rock-star animals (yes, even dragons, though I do fail at drawing them. My friend is awesome, though). =D

    ...But I do love Acca-Dacca. <333 Not overrated in my opinion.
  16. Kiki Active Member

    10 more signs that you're Kiki...

    1. You have an obsession with collecting cans and bottles ("Me cans! Me precious antique cans!")

    2. You're so un-co that you often find yourself losing your balance by just standing (!).

    3. You love mucking around with make-up, even if you don't really wear it on a regular basis.

    4. You like soft-toys. Get over it.

    5. You still love "kiddie" shows. And...?

    6. You have this weird thing about going, "hey! Wanna see if this film synchs to Dark Side of The Moon?" at the beginning of certain movies, out of the blue.

    7. You like pronouncing croissant "gwazonn". It confuses people at the bakery. :confused:

    8. You smile a lot more than you prolly should.

    9. You don't recall ever downloading a song. And you still but records religously.

    10. You find it very hard to get rid of things. You find scraps and bits 'n bobs (basically rubbish, yeah) very interesting, and seeing how they could come in handy for art and the like.
  17. WhiteRabbit Well-Known Member

    Agree all the way with 1, 3, 8, 9, and 10...I love you. O________O
  18. Ilikemuppets New Member

    Hey Katie, I just want to say that I can defiantly relate to this one!
  19. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    2, 4, 5, 9, and 10 fit me too :p

    Even though I dont have and cant afford a record player, I am glad that records seem to be coming back...(they had a record of Appetite for Destruction when I went to Best buy along with a few other records). I just cant see myself downloading songs though. And it might have something to do with having dial up, buuut I'd still rather have the physical disk...

    P.S.

    Its not that I dont like AC/DC, I do like alot of their songs, I just dont see what makes people so crazy about them...but then again, people could ask me why I am nuts over what I like too (uh...such as my mom not understanding me and my dad's obsession with the Ramones XD)
  20. Kiki Active Member

    Whoa! I thought I was the only one. XP People never get me when I just lose balance... heh.

    Lol, don't worry, I see where you're coming from. Even at my school AC/Dc have a big fanbase. Mind you, they're a bit silly about it. They'll know, like, only a couple of songs of their's and they'll be like, "ZOMG I'M SUCH A MASSIVE AC/DC FAN!" They're actually touring soon, and I might be going. Fingers crossed! =D

    I have dial-up too (hi-five! =D), so that might have something to do with the fact that I don't download because it takes far too long. My brother downloads, though. But he just doesn't buy albums often and he's on the computer quite a bit so I guess that works, while a large majority of the time I'm in my bedroom or lurking around the house. XD I /used/ to have this really awesome-looking record player, well- I still do, but I doesn't work anymore, is all. I used it fer a bit, but it broke down. D= I've used my Dad's fer a year or so now, it's in my room. I also have his stereo and stuff. He bought it in the mid 70s, and it's been working ever since. It means a lot to me, because I grew up with it as a little kid and it's just always been there- and it works perfectly. =D
    I tihnk it's great that records are coming back, too. Well- I guess they never really "went out", hey? But now they're releasing new albums on vinyl and re-releasing stuff, too. Metallica is re-releasing their stuff on record (obviously they had it on their originally but..) and I even saw AC/DC's 'Black Ice' on vinyl! :excited: But they're re-releasing some awesome stuff on record, which I think is brill! :excited: CD's I love, too. Because they're convient and like a record they're a physical thing, they have a good vibe. :cool:
