The Butterfly
The blackness of my corner paints my soul
As I fly high
High in the sky
Like a Butterfly.
My beautiful wings ignored,
And so,
I fly into the mouth of a frog.
And cry tears that flood the pond
Anyway I think I will make a special list today for anyone who is considering becoming an emo. (This list is completely sarcastic)
Becoming Emo. A how to guide.
Get into the look
1. Clothes. Take every clothing Item you have and sell it or set it on fire. You must make to mandatory pilgrimage to Hot Topic where you can buy black shirts and skinny jeans that squeeze your junk as hard as the guy in the Chucky Cheese costume did when you were little. What? That only happened to me!? Anyway, a shirt that advertises one of the bands listed in the music section.
2. Hair. Dye it black and throw some pink or electric blue in there. Then go out and buy a flat iron. Even if your hair is naturally straight, you can always use the hot plate to burn marks into your skin in order to feel the bliss of self inflicted pain. Straighten your hair. Then take some sort of spray and make your hair go crazy. The more you look like you just held balloons over your head the better.
3.Makeup. Girls and guys must both wear makeup. Take some eyeliner and make sure you look like a fecking raccoon. Wearing black lipstick is optional. If you are willing you can also pierce your face in odd places. Such as the middle of your forehead.
The attitude
4. Quit everything and hate everyone. Make sure that everyone hates you and you are not involved in anything. Emo is your life now. And your fellow sufferers are your new family.
5. Listen to music that sucks and is about being broken up with, or causing yourself pain. It really will help you get into the mood of being emo. Examples of some good (gosh awful) bans include Taking Back Sunday, Funeral for a Friend, Fall Out Boy, Squirrel Bait, and anything else off the wikipedia page I just looked at. These songs should arouse you sexually. Also expose yourself to depressing literature involving rape and Vampires. Manga is another great option.
6. Start writing poetry about the sorrows of your life. Don't have sorrows? Make them. If your parents made you clean your room, pretend that they are forcing you to destruct your artistic expression and how that crushes your soul.
7. Go sit in the middle of the rain without moving. This is the final test of having the emo attitude. Once you have experienced this you know exactly how you should behave all of the time. Moderately sad without speaking.
The true definition acts of being emo.
8. Form a band. Your band should be called something like "Blood Dripping Heart Love" any thing involving blood and a body part and romance, also include a verb. Though you can always come up with another depressing name, using these ingredients will help you come up with great names like "Bleeding Kidney Romance" or "Blood Raping Sex Appendix". Another great way is to name yourself after a method of death such as "Mudrape me" or "Toss me out the fecking window"
9.Go have sex with one of your same sex Fellow sufferers. Seriously it will make you so much more emo. If you happen to be gay, so have sex with an opposite sex fellow sufferer. Whatever your attracted too go have sex with what will please you the least so you can write a poem about how your sex life is unsatisfying.
10. Begin self mutilating.
I must say that People of Walmart is my favorite website ever. It has cheered me up so much today.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Hey... I actually like Taking Back Sunday...
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes, People of Walmart is an awesome website.
And I'm so sorry that you didn't make the talent show! People suck and don't know talent when they see it!
