Yeah, I hate that people think that being an introvert means that there's something wrong with you and you need to make a conscious effort to "fix it." Like, that's not how it works. No one tells someone who is outgoing and talkative that they need to learn how to stop being so comfortable around people. I completely forgot who Fo was until I saw your comment, haha, but now I think I do remember her being in a commercial. And even though I haven't seen any movies with Analeigh in them, I'm super happy that she's having a successful career because she was one of my favorites contestants that have ever been on the show. She was adorable!

Haha, it's like a weird since of joy to watch my charts grow. I sit there and refresh my page and just watch the numbers go up and artists switch places... I don't know why I'm fascinated by it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who does it! :) Yeah, I totally agree! The fact that (I'm guessing) a large portion of the viewers has the same "lack of personality" that Tyra send girls home for is insulting. You can be shy and have a personality. I think she and the other judges assume that personality means that you have to stand out, which is just wrong. Like, everyone has a personality! Being quiet is part of personalty! Even being boring is part of personality! She should just say that she doesn't think their personality would work for a modeling career, rather than saying they don't have a personality at all. And yeah, I think I remember seeing Caridee in a contact commercial, and Bianca in a makeup commercial? Those are the only two I remember seeing, haha.

You're totally fine about replying! I forget to look at my shoutbox a lot because for some reason I just come on here to stare at my charts haha. I guess I use it to procrastinate (like right now). And yeah, I agree about ANTM. It's so dumb when the bottom two includes one person whose photo was pretty good but she "has no personality" (which actually just means that she doesn't run her mouth like everyone else) and someone who had a crappy photo but her bitchiness makes her memorable, and Tyra sends home the one with the good photo. Like, isn't that the point of the show? I have rarely seen any of the winners on anything after the show, but when I do, it's usually print work. So I really don't understand why Tyra picks the people who suck at taking good photographs because their personalities are "better." She should notice that the fan favorites are usually the ones that she sends home for having no personality, because they actually DO have a personality, they just aren't obnoxious.

Haha, same. I think another problem is that I'm not that quick at thinking on my feet, so I'll say something in the moment and then later realize something better I could have said or realize how stupid I sounded when I said what I did. At least in person, they can see your facial expression and see how you're trying to think of something to say. But on the phone, they're like "hello? ...hello?" because they think the silence means the call was dropped or something, haha. And yeah, that's true about ANTM. People will probably just ignore how good they are at actually modeling and just vote on the person they think is hot or the person with the best sob story. I love the moments when a model is struggling the whole week and thinks that her photoshoot went awful, and then they show the final photo and it's amazing! The reveal of the photos is definitely my favorite part. I also love getting attached to some of the contestants (but most of my favorites go home too soon...).

That's totally it! I feel like the other person on the phone is annoyed with me because my voice is annoying or whatever, and since I can't see their body language/facial expressions, that's just the conclusion I jump to. I also hate the fact that they can't see me. I feel like I communicate better when people can see my stupid hand gestures and all of that, because I guess I think the other person also thinks that I'm annoyed with them, too? I don't know. About ANTM, that's weird that they're letting the audience vote, but Tyra has made some pretty bad decisions in the past with her favoritism, so... I googled to see the new judges and I have no clue who any of them are, haha. Even when Andre Leon Talley was on, god, he was annoying. I actually decided to watch the All Star season a few days ago because I liked some of the contestants that they brought back, but damn, a lot of it was painfully cheesy! And Tyra kept self-promoting a lot of stuff (like her book) and it was embarrassing.

ahh, that's still awesome :) Yeah, I'm enjoying them! I'm a little iffy on The New Division, but i've only listened to their first album. I haven't heard the newest one, which I know I at least like 2 songs on from the playlists. The Naked and Famous are excellent. I had their first album and had never listened to it. I don't know what I was doing with my life. Bronze Radio Return is really good too. I don't know why I haven't been listening to them more. I see you'e listened to Bad Suns and some of Jennifer Left. Hopefully you enjoyed them :D If I come across anything else I'll let you know!

yeah me too haha. I actually had a Frank Turner period at one point. He's great. I still occasionally listen. I've only ever really listened to one or two of the naked and famous's songs so I'll give them more of a chance and then relisten to bronze radio return's cd and the move through the rest of the list. my goals while I await the playlist :P I just listened to your 8tracks playlist from early july and realized i really like Run River North. Then I found out they used to be Monsters Calling Home and I got their cd now. I would definitely recommend it. Only other bands I can think of at the moment are Bad Suns and Jennifer Left. I think I randomly downloaded her music and definitely didn't regret it.

Well, I'm glad that it got better! I'm pretty sure my friend has the same work-study as you do, haha; she's always stealing pens from them... I've only had to talk once on the phone to someone in my work-study, except when I called them, their phone was disconnected so I actually didn't have to talk to anyone and I felt like screaming out of joy. I don't know what it is about talking on the phone, but I always think I sound like an idiot. That's good that it helps you feel less awkward! And yeah, OITNB is awesome! I just hate how many characters I get attached to, haha. That's awesome that y'all watch ANTM together as a family. I think the last time I watched ANTM was season 13. I don't know why I stopped watching, but it was really entertaining, except when the person I didn't like won. Has there been a season since then that's been really good? I might have to catch up...

Dang, I hope you feel better! :) 3 weeks of coughing is hell. And that's good that you're getting paid well for your job at camp! That helps to get through the annoying parts I guess, haha. Your social anxiety sounds like me, which is mostly the reason that I don't want a job. I've never actually had to apply for a job and it sounds terrifying; I've only had a work-study at my university and the interview wasn't that bad. I feel like "real" jobs would be more strict with the hiring and the communication part, haha. Anyway, with the shows that I've been watching, I finished season 2 of Orange is the New Black (finally), I started In the Flesh, I watched all of Shameless, and I rewatched Penny Dreadful because I'm slightly obsessed, ha. Have you watched anything new?

That sounds fun! Except for the being sick part, haha. I hate getting sick in the summer when you're supposed to be enjoying yourself. Hopefully the kids aren't bugging you too bad! :) And I'm okay. I really should get a job, but I'm lazy in the summer. I've just been on tumblr and watching a lot of shows, so nothing really new for me, haha.

I would say Alex Winston and Cillie Barnes are definitely my favorites that I discovered on the playlists. I may be a little obsessed with their music. Also CHVRCHES, The Mowgli's, San Cisco, Twenty One Pilots, Mr. Little Jeans and Bronze Radio Return. There are some others that I can't remember if I found them on the playlist first or discovered them before. Like I think I knew MS MR, Imagine Dragons and Bastille before but I can't say for sure.

rockyjrs
Yes, it is! I think I'm about half-way through the playlist it so far. The Sleeper Agent album is really good. I don't think I had listened to it since it had come out. So far I think I still like the first one better, but I have to listen to this a few more times before I can figure that out. But it's still awesome :)

I think it's because jumping into a paper and just doing it in one sitting lets all of it flow from one train of thought. When you think about it too much and edit it a lot it seems too choppy and all over the place. Whenever I try to help other people with their papers, I always get stuck on the fact that a lot of them seem like they started the paper one day and then did bits and pieces over a few more days. It's a weird thing that annoys me, but it does, haha. That's pretty cool that y'all have concentrations that are less binding than majors, especially now since people don't really care about majors as much as they care about things like communication and problem solving skills. And I totally hear you on finding a program that's affordable. I wouldn't be able to go to the university I'm going to now if it wasn't for the scholarships for low-income families and such. I think they offer scholarships for graduate school, too. At least, I hope they do, haha.

Dang, that's scary. Well, again, I'm glad you're okay! :) Yeah, I think it definitely helps that putting things off doesn't give you the time to overthink things. I like just jumping into papers and getting them done in one sitting (and I HATE proofreading them because my "voice" just sounds really lame), which is the opposite of what you're supposed to do. But it's worked so far, so why fix it, right? Oh, that's weird that you don't have majors there. So you'll still get two separate degrees, though? And that makes a lot of sense as to why you wouldn't want to go to graduate school, especially since you already know how to write and what you want to write about. I personally might go to graduate school, but I'm not sure what I would want to study. My mom wants me to study law, but I'm not smart enough to do that, haha. So it's either that, some other form of law enforcement, or something in psychology. I have no clue what I want to do...

Oh, okay. I'm glad that you're okay now and that the tests came back normal! That seems really scary to get sick like that and it be because your heart is acting weird... And I seem to do the same, haha. I guess some people are wired to push everything to the last minute and somehow still do really well on it. With two of my projects this year (both from the same teacher but in different classes), the teacher told us to get started at the beginning of the semester because there would be no way to get them done at the end and still do well; I pushed both to the absolute last minute and made an A on both. I felt really bad about it though, haha. Lucky! I have 4 semester left (it should be 3 but I decided to be stupid and be a double major so I'll need an extra semester). Are you doing graduate school after you're done?

Oh, dang, I'm sorry that you were in the hospital! It's good that you're okay now, though. Seems like it happened at the worst possible time, haha. It's like we always get sick either during the week that we are the most stressed or the week after when we just want to rest and enjoy the fact that we are done with another semester. And the end of my semester was good, too. I got all of my things turned in on time (which is a miracle because I procrastinated like crazy!) and I only had to take one final. I already live at home, anyway, so I didn't really get to see my family more than usual since I see them everyday anyway, haha. Anyway, how many semesters do you have left?

Haha, that does seem to come with the internet. I think it's the fact that we all want to show why we're right all of the time and the internet gives us the anonymity to do that in the worst way possible; people always end up making it personal and hateful because they know that they can say whatever they want... Oh, that's good that you get to choose the topics to do your research. That would suck if they were assigned to you and you weren't interested at all in it. And I guess your semester is now over, too? Do you feel de-stressed? haha

Yeah, on some level I think that they deserve the hate that they get for being mean in the first place, but then I think about how hypocritical the people are that send those people hate messages. It's like, they're mad at someone for being an asshole, so they act like an asshole in return? Doesn't made a lot of sense. Oh, God, that sounds awful! I'm kind of glad that I have exams now, haha. Some of my classes had big research projects at the end of the year, but at least they weren't the main assignment of the class; that sounds like it would be way too much work because I would end up procrastinating, haha. Good luck on those projects!

Haha, yep. And those posts usually get thousands of notes so everyone can see what an asshole they were being. This is definitely the worst time of the semester. Finals week isn't usually that bad because you just have to focus on exams, but the week before is the hectic time when every teacher decides that big papers and projects should be due. And of course we all have to procrastinate and get everything done at the last minute so were stressed out and ugghh, good times, haha. Only a couple more weeks left, though! (Even though I will miss my classes and the people in them, I'm just glad there's no more work)

Yeah, one of the best parts is that the good people on tumblr seem to vastly outnumber the trolls, and the good people will quickly come to the aid of someone who is being attacked. And sorry for this super late reply; I've been scatter-brained because of school and ahhhh stress is awful, haha. Anyway, how are you doing?

Haha, yeah, some of the people on there get very obsessed with things quickly, which I don't mind usually because I do the same myself. But I hate when they start bashing people in long rants (either people on tumblr or actors/actresses/musicians etc.) because they say they love someone or something so much and they think they're defending it/him/her. Plus, the anonymity of the whole think can cause some people to be really rude for no reason at all other than "oh, you offended a ship that I like," or something similar. I don't know what I'm ranting about, haha. There are people like that everywhere, though... Anyway, any site that can help you learn more about the things that you are passionate about and share those passions with others is a damn good thing. It just sucks when people abuse it, but I think those that abuse it are far outnumbered by awesome people who just want to fangirl and fanboy! haha
