Slightly Insane- Defined

Now, some people may consider it highly odd to declare themselves as slightly insane, but from what I have learned, acceptance is one of the hardest things to do in life, hence giving Jessica and I a rare trait. Anyway, there are many incidents in which "slightly" insane has not covered the half of it, but we try, we really do; to be normal. Though, from what I have experienced perhaps the life of the norm is not for a geek and a nerd, we are just different- and proud. Have you ever had a situation in life where you feel like changing yourself for someone else, and in the end realize that they were not worth your time and effort? Well being slightly insane means to oppose that kind of behavior and always stay true to yourself, because you only live once- why not to your liking? Anyway, as I mentioned, like throws many curve balls towards you, and you can either try to catch it like any other ball, or purposely run into the ball- get hit in the head- and have the person who threw it be kicked out of the game. What would you choose? I know what I would do, but then again I am the insane one...

Alternative- Defined.

As Jessica may have mentioned, we have a fervor for alternative music, only it is not what you think. Yes, I for one adore Coldplay, but that is not really what we are getting at here. In our personal terminology alternative music is anything aside from rap/hip-hop/R&B/pop. Now, don't get us wrong, we like listening to the Jonas Brothers too, but what being an alternative-music lover means is you typically detest mainstream music, and fall away from the crowd, and create your own trends, not follow others. For example, we have a friend who used to read our blogs, (personal), and one day decided they were "really cool" and wanted to write one, we told her it was a lot of responsibility updating, and whatnot and that you can't write 4 posts and stop. She agreed, and now has a blog- on which she has posted, you guessed it... 4 posts. It just goes to show being "slightly-insane" is not as easy as you may think. Anyway, hopefully by reading this blog you will be inspired to express your individuality, and not be afraid to paint your trees blue. Stand up for yourself, and use big words!

The Non Preppy Alternative Music Loving Slightly Insane Bloggers

Last Update: 18 November 2008
Hey, I'm Jessica. My friend, Ghazal, and I, created this blog because we have this thing at school where the two of us are:
-not preppy
-probably one of the few people who don't really like hiphop, rap, and R&B that much(we call our music alternative because it's not mainstream, forgive us if that's not YOUR definition of alternative)
-Slightly Insane(probably more than slightly)
-well, we don't have a label
-and probably the only bloggers in our school(well, one of our friends is, but she's the bandwagon type, and we are the bandwagon)

We call it a cult, but that's not really what it is. It's more of a social group where we will turn you into one of our evil cookie stealing minions who help us plan world domination give our insights on life in general, and introduce you(and ourselves) to some great music. You know, basic NPAMLSIB stuff.

Now that I think of it, it'll be a great way for the two of us to stay connected in high school. But that's a year away.
