I like music a lot too. Unfortunately, I'm not acquainted w/ Nick Jonas or I'd send him your way.

Particularly at this time of year, I like to react to conflicts by hitting "The Rocky Road To Dublin", which perhaps oddly, ends with a brawl in Liverpool after the protagonist is robbed "all among the 'quality'" in Dublin?

I have a 5K on 031712 so I'll be blasting it on the rocky road to the finish line.

They clearly need more homework to give them something constructive to do. What does "emo" mean to these losers?

Hmm, they clearly need to study more? A lot of the time "emo" is applied to passionate people by outsiders who are wallowing in their own negativity. I like the Ian Mackaye bands...Minor Threat, Fugazi, now The Evens and some of the other projects he's done and the whole Dischord record label/ scene, and what they've done, or been doing sheesh, for like 40 years? Playing small clubs. I saw Fugazi and the Evens playing for like $5 at the YMCA in Champaign, IL because they didn't want to play bars where people (*cough cough*) would be out getting wasted. They just did it themselves.

People in middle school are trying to be part of the crowd. It's hard to not be in the crowd but a lot of people are better off without "them". I don't envy your situation but, in many ways, I've sort of gone(stayed?) off on my own over the years.

Anna, I admire you so much! :) There have always been people in my life that have made dumb comments about my diabetes. Even now (and I'm 51!). It's hard not to let it get to you...but I think you're amazing because you've learned to stay positive and deal with it.

I hope one day you get to meet Nick Jonas...he should feel honored to meet *you*!! :)
