I'm going to bitch, and I don't care who knows.

Well
If anyone knows me well, they'll know that I purposely label myself as a, well hipster. I'm proud to be one- but I also have another reason. One that NO ONE seems to understand and it seriously drives me insane.

I put it all over my page to let people know that I claim EVERY last drop of inspiration for ANYTHING. Clothes, art ideas, general ideas, usernames, hair, etc. Literally EVERY drop. I know people say "Mimicry is the highest form of flattery" when, in honesty, I don't find it flattering at all. All I see is people who are too unoriginal and lazy to find their own ideas. I'd mind less if people said 'Oh yeah, so-and-so gave me the original idea' actually, I probably would actually be a bit flattered then. Seriously, I can't fucking stand it. There are just a handful of things that piss me off the most. This is definitely one of them. And no, I don't even care if it wasn't even originally me. If I even have the SLIGHTEST hint that it's similar or could have been inspired by me, chances are, unless I actually get to know you, I may end up slowly hating your guts more and more. If no one likes that, so be it. I'm just that way and I don't plan on changing.

But honestly, is it really that fucking difficult to get your own damn ideas? I get mine. I constantly change to be original and separate. I hate giving people the impression that I got an idea from them, period. It goes both ways for me. You can bet that I'll never, never intentionally base my own shit off of someone else's. If it is, it's unintentional and I'll say it looks like whoever it is, but not intentionally. The only exception to that is my friends who I know don't care, and I always check with them. But to actually go to someone, take their original idea, and fucking rip it off? No. It's not flattery, and I don't give a shit who says otherwise. You can say it is until you're blue in the face, but I won't change a damn bit. So no, I don't care if it was "Innocent enough" or "With good intentions" or whatever. If you're gonna be "inspired" and rip off my ideas, I reserve the right to be a bitch. And don't get it twisted- Chances are, unless you come and I actually know you within a short amount of time, I'll probably hold it against you or whoever it is forever. Think I'm kidding? I'm not. Go ahead ask any of my friends- the ones who have known me since I was first like this. They'll tell you exactly what I've said.

Example of what I don't care about?
One of my best friends, he's into nearly everything I am. We're almost exactly alike. We even dress somewhat similar. Difference? He didn't know me from a damn hole in the wall when he originally like that. (Not to mention he's a guy). Another example is xCoyote who has liked a lot of the same things as me long before we ever met.



I'm done here. You've been warned though.
