Why does being neither a chav nor emo infer that one is "just normal"?
I really don't like chavs. On days where I get off the bus in my town centre at about 5:30 it seems like there's *always* some little group of chavs around and fairly often one will think they're being original by making a completely obvious comment on my completely obvious nonstandard appearance. Oh wow, you noticed I have long hair. Aren't you an absolute genius? I haven't heard that one three hundred times before.
I'm a 19 year old second year uni student and they're like secondary school kids who hang around McDonalds all day. It's kind of ridiculous and hugely irritating that they feel we're both on a similar sort of level such that it's not that inappropriate for them to approach me and subject me to their completely retarded insights.
I'm done. Sorry.
Emos are okay though.

I'm not an emo, I'm far too happy and have a life. But I wear black most of the time, hang around in big groups (at school, too much hassel anywhere else), I wear boots but not their kind. And what do you mean "often skate" emo's don't skate, and if they do I since when, 'cause I need to tell one of my enemies...

They wouldnt. People call other people emo's by what they wear. Its pretty obvious of their where-a-bouts because they often wear black, hang around in huge groups, wear boots and often skate. I have nothing against them really, as I used to skate.

Why would anybody want to be called an emo though?

Anyone with such ridiculous views should attempt to kill themselves and not succeed.
Oh and Chaos, it's because I'm spying on you, don't worry.

I also know of another very embarrassing way of humiliating your daughter when shes older-It happened to a girl who used to catch the same bus as me. The night before, take all the photo's (normally you should photo-copy them) put them in seperate plastic wallets, pin/stick them outside on lamp posts or any other signs and maybe a few birthday balloons *(hint) your meant to be doing this on her birthday, if I hadnt already mentioned (hint)* then when she catches the bus to school the next day she will be soooooo surprised..........Actually dont do any of this because:
A. The girl got bullied for the rest of the day at school lol
&
B. Their may be some dirty p*edo's around your area.....
