The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen with backup.

Oh the joys of formspring.me.

I really enjoy it, actually. I like the idea of being able to ask someone anything you want anonymously. It's one of the amazing things about the internet. When used correctly, it's a really nice service.

But, there are always the jackasses.

Ah yes, the jackasses. Seem to pop up everywhere. Except this time, you can't even smack them because you don't know who they are. Lovely. This is where some people may decide to start a drama, or have their ego smashed, or report it to the authorities. I got trolled yesterday and considered all of these. But, it turns out it was not necessary :).
The mystery person wrote (basically) that it was gross to see me and Ash kissing in the halls, it makes them want to puke, and that the person who previously asked me how i look so cute everyday (a friend of mine from lit class :)) was blind. So I replied back wittily. They asked again that it was disgusting and they don't want to see a 'dyke and a little boy' kiss. I replied back again then blocked them maturely. I was still a little shaken though, i mean no one wants to be talked to that way. BUT!

I then recieved 6 other questions from my friends and Ash all with the theme that mystery person was 'pathetic, blind' and, 'fuck them, you guys are adorable, none of what they said is true' etc, etc.

I love nice people :).

See, these people aren't even my best friends. It was one of my buddies from a theater thing I do every summer, a friend from the musical I'm in now, and a friend of Ash's. And yet they can all have my back when I'm being bothered by a jerk. I love that. I appreciate that. I think everyone should be like that. When you see someone dealing with an idiot online, help them out. Cuz you know what? That person isn't going to bother me anymore. It's easier picking on a single person than a group that'll fight back, as much so online as it was on the playground in elementary school. Just seeing I have that support made me smile. Everyone needs a back up sometimes, and being that to someone might just make their day. So don't be shy! In a world wide web of trolls, us nice people gotta stick together :).

And for the record; ask away :).
