One thing that makes me really mad...

I really hate it when people insult thing they know nothing about. Another thing that I hate is when people claim they are fans of things they know nothing about. You really can't hate a TV show until you've watched it or how do you know that you hate it? Same thing applies to everything. How can you hate Thai food if you've never had it? You can't know. It also annoys me when when people think they are fans of something they don't have a clue about. Like someone who would claim they are a fan of the Plain White T's and the only song they know is "Hey There Delilah". At one point, the only song by them I knew was "Hey There Delilah" and at that point I would never had said they were one of my favorite bands. Now I know a lot of their songs so know I will claim that I am a fan. I would say I like the song not the band or that I think I really could like that band. When I was watching Just My Luck I kept saying I wish McFly was a real band because I could really love a band like that. Turns out they were real and know that I'm an expert on McFly I claim I'm a huge fan. ANyways, what set me off was this guy on facebook. McFly's Danny Jones is competing in a reality show where they turn popstars into opera stars and he kept saying how horrible of a singer Danny was and that people only liked him because he was pretty (which is true). At first, I didn't have much of an issue with it. I think Danny has a wonderful voice, not really one perfect for opera but very nice overall. He's one of the two lead singers for my favorite band, I would hope I like him. What made me mad was today he posted something about how he listened to some of Danny's other stuff and that he was actually good. That meant he was saying Danny was a horrible singer without ever hearing him sing anything but some opera. I've seen the clips of him singing opera on youtube and he's just goofing off in a recording studio not really trying or anything. He was judging a singer without hearing him in his element. That kind of thing annoys me. I never said I disliked the Jonas Brothers until I heard them sing. I had to hear them first. My sister and I coined the term "official critic". To us that means you can't have a real opinion on something until you have a clue about it. Well, at least he's changed his mind. I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, it's just when they don't know why they disagree with me (or why they agree) that bothers me. It's like writing an essay that tries to prove it's point "just because" or "that's what my friends say" or worse, "based on my stereotype I'm supposed to hate this so I do". Ugh...

Flair

I'm super addicted to the facebook app Flair and I really want to make some new ones. The "make flair" app has been down for days and it's really frustrating me. I think I'm actually addicted, I wonder if this is some form of withdraw? Whenever I'm on my computer, I keep checking every five minutes to see if it's back up and I keep on complaining about it and telling everyone which ones I'm going to make when the app is finally up. What makes it even worse is that they have this stupid squirrel game thing instead. You can win 500 flair credits if you win (and they select you at random from the winners) but the thing is I have like 463 credits so I'm really not all that concerned about getting more. All you have to do to get a lot of credits is wait until a holiday and send it to everyone you know that will not be super angry at you for sending them useless flair. I also send ones that I know my friends will like (or Team Edward ones to my Team Jacob friends :D). You also get credits for the flair you make (well I'm guessing you do). I can not send a single flair and my flair credits go up. My guess is that's because people add the flair I make. I've already searched all the pages I want and since there are no new ones I see no reason to search them again. I hope they get this fixed soon because I want to have an entire flair board dedicated to Percy Jackson flair by the time the movie comes out and I don't have enough to fill up an entire bored yet... If they don't fix this soon then I'm going to go crazy. I tried using SuperFlair instead but the flair there is not nearly as good and they don't have as many. Plus, I already have 46something flair credits on regular flair so it would be tough to begin all over again. Ugh... That bored isn't as organized either. I was looking for Paranormal State flair and it showed me Paranormal Activity flair and Ohio State(yuck) flair and flair in the shape of states and Ghost Hunters flair... I love Ghost Hunters but I wasn't looking for that flair then. If I type in Luke Castellan I get ever character that has ever been names Luke and only a few of them have any relation to what I was looking for. So I can't go to that one but I don't know what I'm going to do if Flair never fixes itself. I know it will, I hope...
