you and one other person are the only reason I stay on TAILJ

(Reply) (Thread)

you'll have to let me know where else to find you if you do leave. although I think I have an idea and have started peeking into that journal already

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand)

i don't know what happened

(Reply) (Thread)

I don't know what you're referring to but it sounds sad. maybe we can figure it out

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand)

Mirroring the "You're the only reason I stay on TAILJ". But, it's so much more than that. You're the only reason I find the strength to love TAI... at all. I can talk to one girl anytime I want and I do, but everyone just seems to just...fucking dump on me. It's like, I just wanna cry and scream "What about me? What about my day? My problems?" I just feel like everyone but you and Friend 2 take me for granted and treat me as some kind of therapist when I have no way of helping them at all.

I have so much emotional baggage because of people who claim to be my friends and I just don't have enough hands and arms and legs to carry it all. I'm about to put it all in a cart and push it off of a cliff. I can't take it anymore.

Thanks for being awesome to me in an uncharted wavers of crap. I've found my captain, I am no longer lost at sea...

I've had those friends too, it's hard when the balance is off and one person is giving and the other taking more. all I can say is eventually things level out or you make the decision to move on. it's not easy but it's usually for the best.

but don't let people like that lead you to give up on TAI or anything else you love. don't compromise your heart.

Hi, i'm sorry for posting here but do you have an email add or something where I could get in touch with you?
I'll explain it all in the mail.
I'm not some crazy stalker person or whatever kay? xD
But if you don't wanna give it out here, you can email me at blisswinker@gmail.com
Sorry for being a creep! :P
You can delete this if you want, but I know you might be a really big help right now. =)

Sometimes I think you don't like me, even though you've done so much good for me. I just think maybe you have a distorted perception of me for some reason, even though I obviously have no right to even think I could know what's in your head, I just sometimes think you don't really like me.
I'm not even on your friend list, because I'm afraid that if I add you, you won't add me back, and I have fear or rejection and all that shit.

(Reply) (Thread)

I'm sorry if I've somehow made you feel that way.

but please, PLEASE, don't use the friends list as an indication of anything. I'm so backwards about it - I don't use the friends page, I rarely read or comment on other peoples' journals and I don't post in mine so it simply doesn't occur to me to add people. there are people I adore and have talked to for months and suddenly one day we realize we're not lj friends.

perceptions are always tricky, especially online. but I can tell you that if we've ever talked more than just a one-off comment in a post here or there, then there was something about you I like - your humor or insight or the way you express yourself.

you are super sweet.
Thanks again for sending me a TAI poster last year.
It's in my room and makes me smile

(Reply) (Thread)

would you still like tai if their music was complete shit?

(Reply) (Thread)

seems like a simple question doesn't it?

first I have to let you know you've hit a huge pet peeve of mine. I don't think it's for me or anyone else to decide if music (or really, any medium of art) is good, bad or shit. if I hate something and you love it, does that make it shit and vice versa? art is too subjective and personal to simplify it in that manner... this is why I feel like album reviews from strangers are worthless.

having said that, it's entirely possible that at some point TAI will create something I don't like. who can say? I can't quite imagine not liking their work because now they've created three very different albums, I can hear their particular musical style that I love throughout all three.

would I say I like their music if I don't just because it's from TAI? no.

would I give their future work the benefit of the doubt based on their past work? yes.

as of today they have 3 albums that I love. will my love for those songs diminish if they drastically change their style in the future? no. so in that sense, yes I'd "still" like them even if they go someplace I don't care to follow.

aside from the fact that I LOVE the album, maybe it's because I've been a fan of other bands that have made drastic changes that I'm not as worked up as other fans about the "new style" on Fast Times @ Barrington High. even when a band I adored came out with a new album I really didn't like, I could still recognize the elements of their work that made me love them. and then the next album blew me away. same with certain authors and filmmakers. it's naive and simplistic at best to think you will always love EVERY SINGLE THING any artist creates over the course of their career.

as people? they are some of the sweetest, most intelligent, thoughtful guys I have ever met and I adore their humor. I have immeasurable respect for their talent and creativity. so again, in that sense, yes I'll still like them even if my feelings about their music change.

if you made it this far in my sermon kudos to you. I guess the short answer, with a caveat or two, is yes.

I'm sure you know, but I'm pretty done with livejournal. I pretty much told everyone off and I can't say that I feel bad about it.

You're in the minority of whom I trust, so I just wanted to tell you that. I hope to see you on AIM sometime.

Love,
Asia

I'll look for you. can't say I didn't suspect this was coming, though I feel a bit bad I wasn't around this weekend in case you needed someone. we'll talk soon. or rather you talk - I'll listen...

xo

don't even care if i'm anon.
ily therese!
you're one of the few truly sweet people left on the TAI LJ. thank you for that. and that's not a lie.

i really appreciate all the hard work you continue to do for everyone in the comm, even if not everyone deserves it. over the past year and a half, i've watch the comm slowly begin to deteriorate, and members were dropping like flies. there really isn't the same traffic that used to go through. but you've stayed true to everyone and you haven't given up, even when it seemed like everyone was pissed off at everyone else for some reason or another.

just overall,
thank you.

:]

FML.
if i'm NOT***** anon.
i always leave out really important negatives.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

i'm sure you have long forgotten me but i used to be active in the tai lj community. i went back there today after a good while and was happy to see you still posting. you were always one of my favorite people on there. i still have and love my santi temporary tattoos. keep being so positive and awesome!

(Reply) (Thread)

I do remember you and you should definitely come back, it would be nice to see you again :)

thank you so much

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

hello Therese :)
wow, I've never been on your journal hehe, this is kinda odd :P
I wanted to let you know that I got the stickers, and they're awesome, thanks a lot :D

oh, and I wanna tell you that you're one of the sweetest girls on the TAI LJ, and I'm sure that everyone appreciate what you do for the band and for us, the fans ;) (old post, I know, but whateva)

(Reply) (Thread)

yeah, my journal is a disappointment journal-wise. I never post anything, just use it to visit communities.

but thank you, and you're very welcome! enjoy them :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

i kinda think youre full of yourself..hence the "i'm a curious kitten...tell me what you think."

but i'm just really curious of what you look like, like i am with everyone else that spams the tailj.

(Reply) (Thread)

LOL well thanks for being honest. but isn't that the whole purpose of the LJ anon post, to see what other people think? someone said I should make one for giggles so I did. and technically, I didn't say "tell me what you think of ME ME ME." I just think it's funny that what other people think of me is nothing like what I think of me...

and you're saying I spam? hmmm, I try to only post relevant info but I do tend to chitty chat in comments...

but to answer your question, I'm about as boring and average looking as a person can get. at best I'd say I'm decent looking on a good day - not pretty or cute but not a complete monster that would strike little children blind

I won't even go anon.
I LOVE YOU. You're the nicest person ever. Seriously. I don't get how you can be so nice, it's like, you never get mad. Wow.

(Reply) (Thread)

oh I get mad just like anyone else....

but thank you. :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

how old are you?

(lol at my captcha being 'mother therese' omg)

(Reply) (Thread)

odd question. why do you ask?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

what's your hair color?

(Reply) (Thread)

medium brown. and you?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand)

i think you are stuck up and that you consider yourself the ruler of all things TAI related. that is ridiculous. you dont care about them anymore than the rest of us, so stop being such a douche about it.

(Reply) (Thread)

lol - clearly you don't know me at all. I've said a million times that I'm just a fan like anyone else. but I love you too...

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I think you're a genuinely nice person and the stuff you do is a lot considering how rude the average person is these days.
I think the people who say you're stuck up are only jealous they don't have the same opportunities you do.
Probably because they are just as rude to band members as they are on the internet.

That ran way longer than it should have.

(Reply) (Thread)

thank you. :)

I'm not terribly worried about it because you can't please everyone and I know not everyone is going to be ZOMG MY BFF!!!! but I never understand why people bother to come and tell me about how much they dislike me. why waste their time, y'know?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

i'm one of those tai fans that stay in the back,
because everyone on the community takes everything so seriously.
i've been a fan since the ep, and never put my two cents into anything,
because everyone goes straight for your throat if you say the wrong thing.
but you're the one person who doesnt seem like a bitch on the community.
and i thank you for that :)

(Reply) (Thread)

thanks, that's very nice of you :)

I'll be honest, that community fascinates me. I've talked to some of the nicest, funniest, sweetest people ever. but other times it's like a sharkpool. internet anonymity seems to bring out the worst in some people which is sad because it usually has the effect of intimidating others who have something to contribute. I hope you'll think about speaking up here and there :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand)

you don't know me because I never post on the TAI lj... but I just wanted to say that you are one of the few genuinely nice and sane people in the community, and also one of the few people who seem to truly respect the guys.
most people in the community can be split into two types: people who worship the band and think they can't do anything wrong, and people who say they are fans, but act like they hate them. but, as the previous poster said, most people seem to get really angry if someone says something that they don't agree with - and I'm not even going into the sense of elitism some people have.
but you are nice to everyone, no matter how long they have been a fan, and you are always fair when you talk about TAI.
so I would like to say thank you for proving that there are nice TAI fans out there! :)

(Reply) (Thread)

thank you :)

there are a lot of really nice people in the community but I think sometimes they get overshadowed by people acting outrageous. but I've met a TON of really nice fans at shows so don't let livejournal give you the wrong impression. something about that place makes people behave... well, badly.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

lol why does everyone think you're the stuck-up, queen mother of all that is tai?

(Reply) (Thread)

Clearly they're just jealous that the guys are ~ZOMG MY BFF 4EVAH!!~ and like me better than all other fans combined.


(yes, that was sarcasm for anyone who doesn't recognize it)

hey therese!
hahaha i don't even know if you got my reply to your comment about receiving your letter XD but oh gosh thank you so much for liking it! :D (the bracelet, haha) ...d'you like the mixtape? not that you have to though, my taste in music is weird like that. XD

(Reply) (Thread)

I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet. I got about six mix-cd's for Christmas so I put them all in my car and have been listening to them here and there on the way to work. but so far I do like it :D thanks again! you really didn't have to do all that.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I think you are fantastic and you inspire me to be nicer to people.
I do not have much else to say except that I have to go study now. :) ta ta

(Reply) (Thread)

awww thank you so much. but truly, you don't need me for that. you're one of the nicest people and perfectly great all on your own :)
