More Koolaid, Please

I hope you're joking about the 'punishment.' Get real please. The guys at Conservs 4 $ values are out of their mind liberals. Don't buy into consumerism, it's mindless and empty. Don't buy into God punishing you for every little move you do.. that shows an ignorance about God to an extreme level
 

Not punishment as in the the horrible wrath of their horrible God. Punishment as in I make myself feel terrible because I shouldn;t have done it in the first place. Like karma, I suppose.
 

who cares if u spend $80 on two pairs of pants-it's just money. there is nothing wrong w/buying nice things. just be happy w/them and enjoy your life
 

The point is that money only causes problems because you CAN'T buy happiness. Plus, I don't really have a lot of money, so I need to save it instead of spending it and therefore feel guilty once it's gone.
 

There's plenty to be said when buying a pair of pants for $80 if they're made in an environment choc full of workers rights abuses like in Indonesia. Being too materialistic or too tight fisted are both bad traits.
 

Some women find tight fisted to be very pleasurable.
 

Wow.. the blogosphere definately has its share of unkind, freaky people. The girl is expressing how she is feeling - stop telling her she's wrong - its how she feels. Hell, I feel guilty spending money on grocceries sometimes o_0
 

I just don't see why you are telling everyone about your pants. That's sort of asking for ridicule, don't you think? Anways, I vote nobody ever EVER talk about pants on a blog again. Oh, and panties for that matter.
 

okay this comment has nothing to do with pants, but another article of clothing, t shirts, our class t shirts...who decided on effing egyptian. i recall voting and the winning theme being CSI. wow Allison, what a good class leader you are, listening and taking ideas from your peers, good job.
 

This is my blog and therefore I can write about whatever I wish to write about. And PLEASE get over our class theme, because if you were helping or knew anything about the REAL situation, you wouldn't have left that comment.
 

i think pretty much everyone knows about the real situation. It all started last spring. A few class officers took it upon themselves to change how homecoming was run. Next they picked a homecoming theme without a class vote, or even alerting the rest of the class that the theme for next years homecoming was being picked. Then summer came and everyone got away from Allison and life was good. During the summer Allison had a candy sale as a fundraser that hardly anyone knew about. She didn't even get it approved by the class treasurer. The candy sale failed leaving the senior class with little money or in debt(not sure which because allison didn't include me in any of this). In an attempt to raise some money for senior homecoming, because we desperatly need it and allison is already spending money on our dumbass theme, Allsion decided to start a "senior tradition" of a car wash fundraiser. That's basically the story up to this point. Allison is basically dictator of homecoming-she won't even tell people when the meetings are to plan for this, and heaven forbid a meeting would be @ someone else's house!!! I think everyone would quite appreciate it if u would stop being a selfish bitch and give everyone the chance to have a share the senior homecoming experience. Thank you
 

I'm pretty sure if you, anonymous commenter, had any idea what was going on with student council you wouldn't be commenting. First of all, i should know better than anyone what allison does for the rest of her class. The picking of the theme was not her fault. Commenting stupid ass comments on her blog is in no way helping your situation with being left out, as you call it, of homecoming. Call someone and find out whats going on if you're not informed. Make yourself useful instead of being an asshole to someone you probably don't even know anything about besides what you hear from other people. did i mention that you're being an asshole?
 

why exactly is it egyptian? i thought eveyrone wanted csi anyways, i'm embarassed for our hole class everytime i see that "walk like a senior" logo, i mean at least be creative. i really dunno much about the hole situation, but wouldnt more people help if they liked the theme?
 

Whod have thought it could get worse than "Check us out" Sigh...
 

Thank you, anonymous, for your long and misinformed comment. Usually I would not take my time to explain something like this, but I am recently finding it extremely necessary.

The senior class officers DID NOT decide that the class would not vote. We begged that that not be changed, but the executive council made the decision that we would not hold a class meeting to do that. We took suggestions, many of which were not serious or reasonable. We liked CSI, and had a few ideas for it, but Ancient Egypt was suggested along with SEVERAL ideas of how to make it the coolest theme ever. It was not an easy decision, as we knew a lot of people would be against it, but considering the same people help every year and the same people talk to us about it or come to the meetings, we based our decision a lot on what those people told us. It was not a single person's decision and Allison is not even the president of the class, and therefore your accusations and both misinformed and wrongly directed.

The candy sale fundraiser was held at an event for a different organization. No one knew about it because no one bothered to attend the event. Actually, I must restate that to say that one extremely loyal and class-spirited person DID volunteer to come help with it and we are lucky to have her participating. The sale was not successful because of the turnout at the event, but it is difficult to find a reason to blame me for that. And just for the record, the class treasurer is a MEMBER of the organization that put on the event, and knew that the sale would be taking place. If she was not able to attend, she is only to blame for that. The sale DID NOT leave the class in debt, especially because the person who payed the candy bars will most likely leave that money in our class fund.

We made over $200 on the carwash fundrasier, so it suggested that you not criticize it. We had no other fundraising suggestions, and if you, anonymous, had one and didn't share it, you should not be angry with Allison about that.

Every person who helped with homecoming in the past or told me they were interested was notified about the first meeting held over the summer. About five of THOSE people showed up, and then the next meetings were set by those people according to their schedules. We have had three meetings and have set out what we want to do with the hallway and the float. Get involved if you want to be involved. You are the only one that can do that. For the carwash, we called tons of people and hardly anyone that said they would be there showed up. You should not be criticizing those that were there all three days, because without them we would be able to do nothing for homecoming.

The fact of the matter is that if you were a dedicated and spirited member of the class of 2006, you wouldn't CARE what the theme was. You would be wanting to get involved so that even if our theme was WATER it would be nothing short of amazing. I work my ass of for this. I have been accused of making this my "baby," and I have admitted that a little bit of that is true. THink about it though. Why is it so important to me? Because I have somehow become responsible for it all. Not only that, because that is the least part of it. I LOVE DOING THIS. I love our class, I love our school, and I am not afraid to show it. I don't know what is so bad about having class spirit but I want to create something that everyone can be proud of. There are only a small number of people who have interest in helping, and YES we do become proud and attached because we work like crazy to make our whole class of 324 look good. If you don't think it has been successful then I suggest you start doing your part to make it that way. Until then, I would appreciate if you bring your criticism to the source, rather than posting BS on my blog. Also, if you are going to post one-sided comments, please expect the truth in response.
 

maybe nobody helped w/the carwash b/c they thought it was rude that people were not invited to the meetings, but as soon as u needed help u had no problem asking many people to work. maybe u could post homecoming info on your blog- or have a meeting at someone elses house
 

I really don't understand why it's so weird to have meetings at my house. Once we start construction they will probably be other places due to lack of space, but I still don't really see why here vs. anywhere else makes any difference. If it's because you hate me, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be at the meetings even if they aren't at my own house, so you'll have to get used to it.
 

Also, people aren't INVITED to meetings. They are open to anyone, but unless you want to find a way to contact every person in our class it's nearly impossible for EVERYONE to know.
 

When is the next meeting and where will it be taking place?
 

Because we didn't get the carwash turnout we expected, we have yet to set a date that works for a lot of people. It will be released as soon as it is known.
 

Wow, it's just student council. All it ever seemed to be from my perspective was another way for kids to make them look and feel important. Ha, that's why most of us joined. I guess if you do it out of the kindness and school spirit, good for you. Still, keep in mind that this stuff your bickering about is extremly petty, and you probably won't really care what your theme was even 6 months from now. Seriously, just don't stress about it.
 

Thank you. I don't usually get defensive because I truly love to do it, but I've been quite offended lately and wanted to clear those things up.
 

All I can say is that I'm willing to thank anything that we didn't end up with Teletubbies... Although I'm sure that it would have been hilarious, it would be really hard to take our class seriously after something like that.
 

we should make everybody happy and change our theme to Tucker Max, wouldn't that be great? He's a pretty sweet guy somebody we should all try to be like next year. Check him out at:

http://www.tuckermax.com/sushipants.html

anyone else like the idea?
 

Brilliant.
 

bush sucks. when clinton and regan were in office gas was like a dollar a gallon. bush is just looking out for himself and his oil buddies in texas.
 

Kirk you sound like a crazy, read some tucker max.
 

hey did people really think "check us out" on our shirts was bad cuz i thought it was kinda cute since it went with the theme. I don't think "walk like a senior" is that bad since it goes with our theme but the theme does suck.
 

i don't understand "walk like a senior" please explain it-am i missing something? it kinda seems stuck up, but then again i don't understand it
 

It's a parody of the old song "Walk like an Egyptian", since our theme is Ancient Egypt, and we are seniors, someone apparently thought it was clever to make it "Walk like a Senior." Hope that clears it up.
 

Could someone please also explain to me why our theme sucks so much? Could it have been ANY worse than the past years?
 

Just think of what we could do though with Tucker Max as our theme... It'd be better than college. So much stuff we could do though.
 

Tucker has probablly fucked an egyptian girl or two.
