Alternative Conformity?

Why aren't people allowed to just plain like things anymore? Why do they have to be ridiculed for liking something a majority say is uncool?
For instance, I like Twilight. Yes, I LIKE TWILIGHT. I said it. So what? I also like Anne Rice too. And Stoker. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think it's interesting to have a *re-vamp* of the genre once in a while, but that it's horrible some people feel the need to bash others for liking it.
Music too. Why do you have to listen to "certain" types of music to be considered Goth or whatever sub-genre you are? I consider myself Goth and I have a wide variety of tastes. Like: HIM (another faux pas? I don't care. I like 'em), Dimmu Borgir, t.A.T.u, Shakira, COF, and Michael Buble.
And why do most people feel they have to agree with things people say to look cool and be accepted? Like "Yeah, Twilight sucks!" just to get noticed by the "In" crowd. I think you're much more respected if you can stand up and say "Well, actually, I like *insert appropriate word*". Because you're showing you have your own individual opinions and ideas about things, instead of just following the crowd.
Which makes me laugh actually. Lots of Goths say they're Gothic to escape the "Mainstream Bitchiness", and be an "individual" Well, I'm sorry, we do exactly the same things as the preppy people, just in black eyeliner and lipstick. :P
Thus ends the rant. What did you all think? :)
Bored......

Gah. I feel like crap. I didn't go into work today. Well, I got there and went home. I just felt so sick, I knew I woudln't be able to function properly.
I didn't tell mum, however, because she'd only get mad. You know parents, "this is why you feel ill, you're making it up etc etc"
And, I haven't called in yet. I slept for three hours and feel much better now. I hope they'll be ok tomorrow when I go in and explain everything.
And, as luck would have it, I saw one of the women who cleans where my mum works when I went to get the bus home. I just hope she doesn't mention seeing me.
So.............Gah. Yeah.
Despite your pain...

*sigh* I've just had possibly the worst day at work ever. So annoyed at everyone, for really petty reasons. I'm going to go home, play on my game, and try to forget this whole day.

Friday 13th....Iknew I should have stayed in bed. Of course I've injured myself. It's kinda traditional on this day. I somehow managed to whack my arm on a metal bin, whilst cleaning out a wax tray. I've got a lovely cut and briuse. Oh, and my nerve is pissed off too. Heh.
I also seem to be hitting my left pinky finger on everything. That's the one with hypersensitive nerve endings from a previous injury.
Moral of the story? Don't let me go out anywhere. Seriously. ;)

I'd love to have a nice picture of myself. At least just one where I don't think I look hideous, or out of proportion. Or where my nose doesn't seem to dominate my face.
Any pictures I take of myself I think I look awful in. It might just be the angle, but still. I don't think I take a good picture.
I'd like some professional ones doing, just to see what they'd turn out like.
Or if I can root out my old digital camera, I'd rope in my pal Emilie to help.
Some people on here are so gifted with photography, and taking good pictures of themselves, whereas when I try it looks like a five year old took the picture.
*sigh*
I guess I'm just in one of those moods.
If anyone has any tips on taking pictures, or make-up to use when doing so, I'd appreciate it.

i agree with you
i like phil collins
yep i sure do!
i roll my eyes at twilight, but it's because the story doesn't appeal to me.
however, i do not look badly upon those who love it.
my friend ADORES twilight, it's all she talks about, i swear.
while i give her some friendly ribbing about it, she declares i'm just jealous because i didn't write something so popular... and i must admit she's right there!
as far as conformity goes, i liked the point made in an episode of south park where a goth kid agreed to do something because the other goth kids said they wouldn't conform and do it... he told them, 'i'm so non-conformist i'm not going to conform with you guys, i'll do it'
it made me laugh because that's exactly it, in my opinion, every one conforms to something. whether you consider yourself goth, or not... or if you like or dislike twilight... there are at least thousands of other people with the same likes and opinions
so in reality we are all conformists, it's just a matter of what idea or group you identify with.
