Okay, so in case you haven't heard by now my mother confiscated my iPod.
Why? because she was listening on it and found some songs that just HAPPENED to have cuss words in them.
I don't see why I have to get in trouble for this. Seriously, I don't write the songs I can't do a single thing about these words. I could--I know--run around and buy the edited versions, but seriously ... when a few words aren't harming me, why would I want to go buy songs that have random parts cut out of them? Exactly. I don't want to. I'm personally not a fan of songs that have been chopped up from the artist's original idea.
Sucks.
Also. Why am I being punished for an artist's song? I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! All I did, was download the friggin song because I happen to like it.
Geesh, I'm sixteen for goodness sake. I hear more cuss words during one five-minute hall change than are on all the songs combined on my iPod.
Funny thing is; I was talking to my mom earlier about how some freaked out parent went to the school board because a book her daughter was reading in English class just happened to have the word 'fuck' in it. ONCE. WHERE IT FITS THE CHARACTER. AND IS SHOWING HOW REAL TEEN LIFE IS.
What makes me laugh even harder is that my mom agreed that it was fairly stupid.
Hypocrite. >.>
Excuse me while I lock myself in my room and read to show how pi ... excuse me, peeved off I am.
Feel free to rant with me >.<

also, I recently bought this book, Speak and it had this awesome thing about censoring literature.. I wish hale had given it back, since I'm fairly sure what the author said applies to this situation as well.

My parents were like that when I was sixteen. Now that I'm 18, I think they realized I grew up. Or something like that. Dont worry about it. Im sure your mom will come around.
great, now i sound like an old lady going "when I was your age..." sorry if it came up like that
And Speak is such a good book. I've read it already and loved it.

>.> not that I do either, but ... when people think that somethings so bad and really it's not ... it ticks me off ... do you guys understand? or have I just been randomly throwing words out there xD

IF THEY WANT TO SHELTER US FROM BAD WORDS AND STUFF, THEY'LL HAVE TO DUCT TAPE EVERY PERSON'S MOUTH SHUT AS WELL!! -rantrantrant-'
xD and i'll try to reply to that .. Troy might seem more evil though >.>

Yup.
Or the type of dad who thinks that we have to do EVERYTHING his way. So you can wash dishes, but you hve to wash them HIS way or he'll make you do them all over again. You have to scru it, then you have to rinse it, then you have to stick it in the washer a certain direction and then it's right.
It's like...Dude. They'll get clean fine how I did them...

>.< -sigh- at least he's trying
... too bad it's not helping, eh? xP

Well I'm only fourteen, but I understand what you mean. I make a point not to show my parents my Ipod...it says 'fuck' ALOT, but they are more worried about the sreamo.
They have this strange belief that all 'goth' kids end up like the guys at columbine. I was grounded when they found out I shopped at Hot topic....
Anyway that sucks that your mom took away your Ipod...I would die.

^.^ fankew eilee <3
if you haven't heard, though, guys ... I got my iPod back ... after like, no yelling... >.>
but still, I don't like the principle behind the 'oh, let's take Katie's iPod and ask her why she listens to this stuff!' <.<
also, I understand the whole swearing thing. I try not to use cuss words too much, and tend to only when i'm ranting, ubermad, or in character. And I remember the ski trip thing >.> that was kindof ... evil of your parents xP
