people do take me seriously...you are right about the dress for attention bit, she used to blacken her eyes and go all out, but she just dresses in a long plain black skirt, band t-shirt and keeps her hair long and straight now. As for me I dress in what I like and don't care what people think...my friends are mixed. I make alot of friends because I'm one of these people that never shuts up. I like to help people and don't mind giving my kids and thier friends a day out...i own a really big people mover The Baker Boys [skaters such as Dustin dollin come over from America] and we took a massive group of boys down to see them, because it was at least a 2 hour drive where they were performing[though sadly dustin dollin was blind and had to be sobered why a skatepark packed with boys/teens waited eagerly[though i blame the sponsors for not looking after thier boys properly. One of them actually smashed into my son who's 8, though my boy was actually rapped:s.

Though at first when I was at the football club and the schools...people acted a little weird, but soon realised i was just like them.

I went to the beach a few weeks back and these guys called me a freak but soon shut up once I emerged in my bikini and my bloke smiles.

Now my bloke is a business man that wears suits everyday, he manages some-one elses company at the moment but we are hoping to soon have enough money to start up our own factory and yard soon. I am invited to all the business dinners and get along with every-one just fine.

As for the person that is an emo Hater...Im a Hater of Emo haters...i find you weak and pathetic, especially when you are picking on some-one that has nothing at all to do with your life, usually some-one younger and weaker. So what that they wear tight jeans and wear make-up...they aren't making you wear it are they...how can being mean to some-one for no apparent reason be fun, to me its mean and cruel, like the jock that ran over the emo in America because he didnt like the way he looked. Now personally I don't think it was the emo that had the problem...I think that sort of behavior to be sick and any-one the does such an act should be imprisoned as they would if they ran over a none emo!!! This sorta stuff really breaks my heart.
