I hate superficial people, but I do kinda feel the need to clarify myself. If my friend is really in to over-the-top jewelry and expensive clothing, that is alright with me. I consider that a "style", and whether or not it is a good look for them, I just respect that. If my friend is really in to leather and lace, even in the hot summer days and cold winter nights, I can dig that. What I can't stand are people that push themselves to give an impression of looking rich, or looking hardcore, or looking sexy. I can't stand posers. I respect a comic book geek wearing a starwars t-shirt a size too tight before I respect a fat chick in spandex, unless they are butch dykes that take no shit, in which it is more of a respectable hardcore mentality than a unrespectable sexy mentality. I know it is contradictary to say "be who you want to be" when some people do strive to be posers, but I don't care to split hairs.
I can't stand know-it-alls as well. I always support the voice of another's opinion, espically when it crosses my own, because you can have civil debates on the subject and get a broader perspective. On the other hand, there are people who "know the facts" about a subject they have hardly dabbled in and swear that they practically have a PhD in the subject. It is alright to be wrong, as sometimes we are informed of fiction that others conveyed as fact, but just admit you could be or are wrong when new facts arise.
I also can't stand white suburban kids who think that the closer you live to a big city, the more ghetto you are. It is funny how these white kids from Joliet and Zion (suburbs of Chicago) think that everybody who lives in Chicago is a gangster, but it doesn't phase them to find out that they have a high population of KKK and Nazi members. It is even funnier if you are from Cicero, which was a suburb literally run by mob rule. The city isn't the ghetto, it's just parts of Chicago that bring the image down (Cabrini Green was the best example until it was torn down).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
