Kingsley Says Drake Bell Is An Attention Whore. I Don't Think So.


First off, I want to say I love all parties in this argument equally. Drake was amazing on Drake and Josh and the Amanda Show and is a very talented guitarist and singer and Kingsley makes me laugh whenever I need to get in a better mood after life deals me more crap that I am getting used to not to mention Kingsley is gay and I love gay people. I find them really awesome and gay guys are amazing and I wish I had one for a best friend.

So, apparently back in July Drake Bell tweeted something about Katy Perry’s movie and how she shouldn’t have made it after being in the industry for five years or something along those lines and Katy went all Rihanna on him and called him saying something about being a hater and Drake (unlike Kingsley, I am calling Drake Bell just Drake because the actual “popular Drake” sucks. I wish he would just retire and I currently hate him because of this YOLO epidemic) responded that he was hacked and would never call out Katy like that but however that pansy Justin Bieber maybe.

Was Drake hacked? It’s possible. Is it likely? Maybe. Do I hate him for calling out Katy if it is really Drake who said that? No. I am a little sad that it was Katy he was dissing instead of Justin Bieber because Katy is pretty cool unlike Bieber, who as I can recall, has been in the industry less time than Katy when he came out with Never Say Never and according to online, Justin became active in the industry in 2009 and Katy in 2000, therefore she hasn’t been here for five years, it was twelve years and the pansy Bieber has only four. So whoever tweeted that whether it was Drake or the hacker guy got their facts wrong.

So after the comment on Bieber, apparently Drake got hate mail and all that crap, which is not cool. My favorite bands have been dissed several times and I don’t send those people hate mail, although if it is in person, like that annoying girl from my school who thinks she’s so cool, I will tell her to back off, those band’s music has helped me through the worst time in my life, including going into treatment for myself injury problem and who’s music has saved my life, so she needs to calm down and stop dissing on my Three Days Grace, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Demi Lovato. I don’t go dissing on your Red Hot Chili Peppers! Anywho, I don’t send hate mail, I'm more mature and civilized then most of those Beliebers. Fans of Three Days Grace, All Time Low, Simple Plan and the other many, many, many bands i listen to are more mature to not send hate mail and even death threats. And if Drake did correct the tweeters grammar and crap, awesome. It shows he is more educated then the idiots who run around sending hate tweets at a person they don’t even know personally. I hate Bieber and One Direction, but do I go around tweeting them death threats or hate mail. No I do not.

Next Kingsley said something about Drake tweeting a picture of him playing the guitar and offering to give Bieber guitar lessons. Cool. And then Kingsley said something I find highly untrue. No girl wants to fuck the guitar player, it’s the drummer. I find that wrong; let’s take my favorite bands for example. All Time Low, guitarist Jack Barakat or drummer Rian Dawson, if I was a girl who screwed band members (which I am certainly not and don’t plan on ever being, but if you are, then good for you, my opinion of you does not change. girls should be able to have as much sex as guys and not be called whores about it) I would rather screw Jack Barakat. Why? I don’t know, I just find him hotter, and rhythm guitarist and lead singer Alex Gaskarth, yes, yes I would. Even over Jack Barakat. I find Alex Gaskarth a sexy beast. Next, Pierce The Veil, although Mike Fuentes is gorgous, he is a major manwhore so i would much rather screw Tony Perry. Blessthefall, i find Elliot and Eric better looking than Matt, plus Matt just got engaged so he is off limits. Of Mice & Men, Alan Ashby is more attractive then Tino Arteaga in my personal opionion. . Green Day, my friend and I actually used to fight over Billie Joe Armstrong. So I would pick him in that category over Tre Cool. I could literally go on for hours with the same result here. Kingsley I am proof that girls would not want to screw the drummer over the guitarist.

Next, apparently Drake tweeted that Justin’s music must be full of hate If his fans are doing all the hating. (Nice voice Kingsley and the fondue thing were humorous). Well, I never liked Bieber, and never will. He sounds like a five year old girl and is uglier then then Chad Duell from General Hospital who took Drew Garrett’s role on there after the stupid writer fired him. As for hate in his music, no, but every time there is a new teeny bopper these days, stupid teenage girls go crazy and would literally kill for this teeny bopper they worship. So Drake, it’s not his music that made them so hateful, it’s the fact that they are stupid teenage girls. Yes, stupid. I would never kill for All Time Low or Black Veil Brides or Three Days Grace, even for Demi, and she practically saved my life. If I was asked to, I would say I love you but no, that doesn’t follow my moral standards or my religion. God said Thou Shall Not Kill; therefore, I do not kill.

That is when Kingsley said Drake had gotten a couple more thousand followers and became an attention whore demon thing and tweets just to piss off Beliebers. “Drakesters vs. Beliebers. At least ours is spelled correctly”. Yes, it is spelled correctly, I always did hate the term Belieber. It sounds like salty garbage. And then he tweeted a picture of a hilariously photo shopped photo of Justin as a drag queen and then something about he doesn’t hate him, his fans are mean.

Yes, yes they are, one bitched me out last February after tweeting that I listened to a whole Justin Bieber song on the radio and had no idea it was him until it was almost over because of how high his voice was, this bitch was freaking vicious! She called me pathetic and kept told me pretty mean stuff to the point where I had to tweet her saying dude, it’s not nice to say that crap, especially when you are talking to a recovering self-harmer and someone who is pretty suicidal at that moment and then she was all OMG I am sorry, you bieber haters just make me sick. My friend Maia then bitched her out, saying she was pathetic after tweeting “eurgh! Talking to a hater of Justin just makes me sick.” That bitch’s username was @OMGBieberHolics and is now @BloomingBieber and has her name as Tom Daley. 

After tweeting that 70% of Justin’s twitter followers are eggs (interesting word choice, but it sure did make me laugh!), Kingsley said he wished Drake was an egg on someone’s plate at IHOP. He wouldn’t want someone to eat it, but he still wanted Drake as an egg. Interesting thing to want. Actually, that is the weirdest thing I have heard you say Kingsley.

So, in conclusion of this weird blog that nobody reads other than my mom and the one friend from kindergarten I recently came in contact with again after being enrolled in the same Driver’s Ed, Kingsley, I find that rant weird, and I have proved you wrong on the guitarist/drummer thing who would want to be screwed more. Drake, as much as I support you with this, which I do and I love the fact that you made those comments about Bieber,, I think maybe this should just die along with YOLO and that way people will forget that and those dumbass beliebers will stop sending hate mail and death threats.

As for Drake being an “attention whore,” I honestly don’t think he was. He was getting his opinion out there, like me, except Drake is on twitter where he has a bunch of followers and my only follower here is the friend I mentioned earlier along with my mom. So Kingsley, ease up on Drake and Drake, let the Bieber thing die so you can get those dumbass Beliebers off your ass so they can hopefully do something productive with their time. (Which is highly unlikely)

My Day With Westboro


If you don’t know what the Westboro Baptist Church is, look at my entry, Church or Cult? and you will learn what they are about. To sum them up, they are one of the biggest hate groups in the U.S next to the KKK, they protest funerals of fallen soldiers, protest churches, protest Lady Gaga concerts and are known for their hatred toward the LGBT community.

The WBC came to the Seattle area and me and my awesome friend Maia were out there counter protesting them.

My day began today at 6:50 when I woke up. I woke up and got ready for my day by getting dressed, doing my makeup, and grabbing a frapichino then me, my dad and my protest sign were out the door and on our way to pick up Maia and head to the first location. There me and Maia met this really nice lady who talked to us and applauded us, being only fifteen and eighteen and out there protesting. Her parents were from Topeka, Kansas where this cult is from and they had to get an injunction to keep them away from their temple. As we talked, we noticed something. One of the flags on one of the crazy members of the WBC’s their waists hit the ground. That made a counter protester very mad! He got very angry and yelled across the street at them to not do that. The head lady over there, Margie, started shushing the man from across the street and another fellow counter protester yelled that the man was voicing his opinion, just like our Bill of Rights states. The man told the WBC crazy if he didn’t like this country then leave and they actually got into an argument. the crazy from WBC started preaching stuff that sounded like mumbo jumbo. The Man even called them an abomination after the crazy called us an abomonation. The man was called a fool and the crazy went on a bunch of other rants about religious stuff that makes no since. When he read my sign (it said “if you do not love, you don’t know God, because God is love 1 John 4:8) and went on about how God stated “I love you, now these are my commandments now tell the whole story” another shouting match ensued on that story and how he claims “thou shall not divorce and remarry” is a commandment and when pointed out to him it wasn’t, he claimed that everything was his commandment.

After that, it got silent and Maia and I started singing Born This Way and I Kissed A Girl, so we couldn't hear Margie singing their song “God Hates America.” Not too long after that, the cult’s getaway van arrived and we all left to the next location.

After we got to the next location and were walking over and a girl approached us and asked if she could pray for us. I thought that was really nice of her so we did a prayer before going to our corner to counter protest. This church was in a more populated area and even more counter protesters showed up. Two with signs that were about supporting our troops. One of the many, many evil things this “church” is known to do is protest funerals of fallen soldiers who died fighting for our country and their right to free speech so they can continue to spread their hate and their filth all over the country. It is awesome that they are banned from the U.K and Canada. Maybe I should move there, just so I don’t have to put up with being in the same country as these crazies! Just like the man said at the first protest, if you don’t like it here, then leave! While at this picket, I noticed that apparently, God hates grammar. On one of their signs it said ‘Christians’ caused Fag Marriage. Last time I checked, you use “” not ‘’ when trying to put the point across that it is being sarcastic or something along that manner. The grammar Nazi in my Writing For Publication would have had a heart attack and caused a scene right there. I kind of wish she was there so she could. It would have been hilarious to watch them argue with her on that and see their expressions. It would be pretty epic. What surprised me the most was when more and more people showed up.

Across the street where they were protesting, a Canadian who was making a documentary was there interviewing the crazy that got into the argument with the man about the American flag was talking to her for a good ten minutes most likely doing his “preaching” like he did to the man at the church before. What a camera whore (that’s what Maia and I called him). I knew who he was. I saw him in the Westboro Documentary by Louis Theroux. He kicked out his own daughter because she questioned the message they were spreading. This is the guy who produced the music spoofs and helps make the protest signs. I wish I had the guts to yell, “Where’s Lauren” just to get a rise out of him, but I didn’t. you can’t hold a conversation with a crazy, let alone an argument, plus, I my mom always told me not to poke the crazies. It wouldn’t end well.

One thing I noticed here was that there was this silent protester who sat gracefully behind the crazies. She had love and a bunch of quotes written on her. at first, I thought she might have been a member of them who didn’t want to do it anymore, but then I saw what was written on her and since it was nice and meaningful love and not hate, I knew she was one of the good guys.

A couple other people showed up and what they were holding was American flags. That was pretty awesome. The two with the flags held them high and let them flow in the wind. It was great to have more Patriotic people there.

The next location we went to the counter protesters arrived first. They had a half an hour break between locations, but the counter protesters wouldn’t take a break from standing up for what they believe in. I am not sure if that protest was when a man older man in a kilt showed up or if at the church before. Either way, I knew instantly he was a cool guy. His shirt was white and he drew on it with fabric markers. It stated “Every Human Has Rights.“ it was pretty cool. This location had three different areas for the counter protesters. It was street that had a turn that lead to the church so Westboro was across the street while we counter protesters  were on each side of the turn and some of us went to their side and stood next to him, like the guy with the sign that says “fuck this guy” and points towards one of the Crazies.  Two new girls showed up. One was around my age, I know that because she asked me if I went to MGHS and when I replied saying yes, I am a MG Charger, she informed me we were in the same Music Lab class but she came in toward the end of the year which is when I hid in the practice rooms with my pals Kannaah and Gabby. It was cool to see someone from my school there. She and her girlfriend then crossed the street and stood next to Margie Phelps. One of the girl’s signs said “WTF?” And pointed towards her. the others said “God Hates Signs.” Not too long after that they turned their sings over and one said “I kiss her.” the girl was referring to her girlfriend who was with her. her girlfriends sign said “Homosexuality is sin-sational.”

While at this location, the counter protesters yelled back and forth to each other making jokes and pretty much mocking the WBC. This is when a bunch of cars started honking at us in appreciation for counter protesting these freaks. Every time someone would honk, we would all cheer and wave. Maia even got a semi-truck to honk his horn.

One of the funniest things that happened at this location was when Maia spotted their getaway van parked less than a block away in a fire line. Maia then yelled out to her cop friend that was patrolling the area that we needed a tow truck. Everyone started laughing. Too bad he wasn’t in the area anymore and their getaway van was not towed. That would have been hilarious. But no, the getaway van came and whisked them all away to the next location. Maia’s church.

At this location more people showed up. It was amazing! So many people were supporting our messages of good faith and that homosexuality is not a sin and our country is not a doomed nation. Not too long into this protest was when Margie started singing God Hates America. I looked to Maia and she knew what I was thinking. Time to start singing something else louder. After looking through my iPhone, we decided on Firework. Something Maia knew all the lyrics too. I sang along too, not very well though. I sound like a dying walrus when I sing. What would have been awesome is if my dad parked the car close and I could have plugged my phone into the docking system and we could have blasted Born This Way. It would have been awesome!

Not too long after that their getaway van arrived which I found very weird, they had only been there for about fifteen minutes. They cut out early. That was interesting. From the research I have done on them, they have never cut out early. They always stayed for the full amount of time on their schedule. But today they didn’t do that.

They didn’t even show up at the last location either.  All us counter protesters showed up and just waited and while we waited we got to know each other better and more cars honked at us loving our message of love that we were spreading. Some of the people I got to know were Tiffany Peterson and her friend Dylan Richardson. Tiffany held a sign that stated “religion poisons everything” and a gay pride flag. Her sign was true. Religion does not mix with other parts of society outside of church, temple, or mosques. The government needs to keep church and state separate. I want my government to make decisions based on The Constitution, not The Bible. The law of the land always comes before the law of the religion. And since we are all given certain unalienable rights and among those rights are the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Hearing that, gay marriage should be legal because it is part of the pursuit of happiness and does not affect the public good in a negative way.

Dylan carried a sign that stated “Worship Satan.” Although I do not at all agree with that statement, it was hilarious to see next to the Westboro Crazies. You would see “God H8s Fags” and “your pastors are whores” and then you would see Dylan holding his sign stating “Worship Satan” you would have yourself a good laugh.

Two people showed up at this protest who wore t-shirts that said “Army” on them and were in the service. Tiffany quickly introduced herself to them and thanked them for their service. Her little brother is in the service.

While we waited, some people made jokes that maybe they got in an accident on the way here. Maia then yelled out “Thank God!” although thanking God on that is very unchristian like for me, I have to admit, that would have been amazing. We would have gotten rid of eight people in one of the biggest hate groups in the United States.

Fifteen minutes later, they didn’t show. I checked my twitter for news on them on why they didn’t show up. There was nothing on the Crazies twitters.

Ten minutes later, all of us were wrapping things up. The Crazies didn’t show. We all did a dance of victory and to celebrate even more, two girls kissed. One of the best ways to protest a homophobic group.

After that, Maia and I went home and I took a shower. I was in the same vicinity as those Crazies; of course I needed to shower!

Thinking back at my day, I honestly can say there is nothing in my life that I have done that I am prouder of then this.  I went out to a hate group and counter protested against their messages of hate. I stood up for what I believe in and Maia’s right to marry whoever the heck she wants to marry. I met some awesome people and had a great life experience.

There is nothing I would change when it came to my day with Westboro. If they come back, I will be there in a heartbeat to counter protest again. This is 2012, there is no room for intolerance and homophobia anymore.

Church or Cult?


If you live in today’s society, you have most likely heard of the Westboro Baptist Church. Aka God Hates F**s church. (I starred that because as the best friend and practical sister of three bisexual girls, so I find that hate speech) if not, they are a cult masquerading around as a church and protest at dead soldiers funerals, churches, and Lady Gaga concerts. Yes, Lady Gaga concerts. Why? Because she is a “whore who is spreading her filth.”
Here is what you need to know about this “church.” They are ran by an elder named Fred Phelps who is full of the most hate. He hates Jews, Gays, Muslims, America, pretty much everyone who isn’t a member of their church. What he does is preach hate. Simple as that. so pretty much, everybody but them is screwed over and all going to Hell.  They protest at churches, funerals, mosques and many more. They burn flags, they burn the Koran. They do pretty much everything that would make your stomach turn.
In my years as a Christian, I know that the Bible is a book of contradictions, and my personal belief is that if I follow the Ten Commandments, live the best life possible, and do my best to be a decent person and not hurt other people, then i am going to Heaven.
 These people call themselves servants of God, when all they do is preach hate!
Fred Phelps’s daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, blames everything on our society being so tolerant of homosexuality. 9-11 happened because of that. Virginia Tech happened because of that. The space shuttle blowing up was because of that. She takes her two oldest daughters, Megan and Bekah on talk shows, to classrooms, to press conferences all just to preach about how America is doomed because of our tolerance. If we are not F**s, we are F** Enablers. That label is true when it comes to me. My best friends are considered F**s because they have dated girls before. I have not harassed them and never told them that “they are going to Hell” because I honestly don’t believe they are. They are all Christians. They all love God. And they all are leading the best life possible.
Now, according to them, I am going to hell because:

1.       I don’t preach to my bi friends that they're going to hell.

2.       I once stole a piece of candy from my cousin Cruise. (sorry dude, I don’t think you remember, but, yeah, that happened)

3.       I killed a bug, (well, numerous bugs, and spiders, spiders scare me)
4.       I believe in gay rights
5.       I am a huge fan of All Time Low (mentioned on one of their websites as a terrible band who is teaching nothing but sin)

6.       I don’t go to church (dont believe in organized religion, my relationship is between me and God, no one else, especially a judgemental church who will constantly tell me i am going to Hell because i am ok with my best friends being Bi)
7.       I am getting a tattoo (cant mark up your body)
8.       I used to cut myself (cant mark up your body)

9.       I called my brother a dumbass
10.   I use my writing skills for the school magazine to advertise breaking the hate.

11.   I have a Catholic friend who I don’t preach how he is a pedophile and is going to hell (don’t worry Nolan, you are amazing and your Catholicness is awesome, hopefully you can be the Pope one day like your dreams)
(if those dont quite follow what you guys do, tell the dude John R. Pride on facebook and his friend Canyon Shearer who claim to be like you guys and harrassed one of my closest friends Hailie on her video of her and our friend Stella singing Born This Way by Lady Gaga in memory of her late sister, Camilla who did commit suicide October 20, 2007 after being brutally harassed at school for being a lesbian. Hailie was eleven years old and was the one who found her after she overdosed on pills)

But, what I want to know is how Shirley can just sit there and preach how we are all doomed when she did one of the worst thing in their churches eyes! She had sex outside of marriage and got knocked up!
Yes, preacher’s daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, the one preaching to us about how our generation is full of underage premarital sex is making us all go to Hell, went out and got herself knocked up. Not much is known about this child, except he isn’t around anymore and she doesn’t even acknowledge him as her son. So, since she sinned and according to her, someone who does that is going to Hell, then guess where she is headed according to her beliefs. Hell.
So, so far in Hell right now we have me, Shirley, my three bi friends, my Catholic pal Nolan, the two Muslims I know from school, and pretty much everyone else in society.
So Shirley, tell me, why don’t you practice what you preach! We are all doomed yet you aren’t, even though you had a child out of wedlock, and I support equality, am a straight virgin, who does her best to be the best person she can be? Why is it you? Why do you get to go to Heaven when I am not? All I do is support equality and be a decent person who doesn't judge people? (yes, i may judge you, but that is because you guys actually do stuff that is wrong, and full of hate and evil, and by the way, you judge too, everyone does, it is human nature) 
Honestly, I don’t think anyone in the WBC deserves to go to Heaven, but I am not God, therefore, I cannot make this judgment. Only God has the list and knows for sure. Hey Shirley, you even mentioned that in a lecture at Central Michigan University when you and your two daughters were speaking. You also said a lot of other things in that lecture that didn’t make sense. (I know this because it was on YouTube, gotta love YouTube!) You said that “Priests rape children” therefore, all Catholic’s are going to Hell, when I know for a fact, not every single priest is a pedophile. My friend Nolan has gone to church for what I am pretty sure is most of his life and he has never been molested by the priest. You Shirley are making a huge generalization. That is like me saying that every Muslim is a terrorist (which is probably a bad example, you probably think that all Muslims are terrorists) so it’s more like me saying that all Asians are crazed gunmen (Virginia Tech reference). So Shirley, stop being an ignorant ass like you called the girl who asked you that question.
this "church" claims that everyone is being raised for the devil these days and parents don't love their children because they are doing that. well, Shirley and all of you guys, tell me how this isn't love. the first time i injured myself on purpose to help deal with the emotional pain i was in after years of being bullied, my mom held me while i cried and told me that she loved me and that she just wanted me to be happy and that i meant the world to her. or how about when i slashed up my wrist in the bathroom at school with a pencil sharpener because of the emotional pain i was in and she rushed to my school, picked me up and cried with me telling me that she loved me and she wants me to be happy and healthy. or how about this Shirley, how about when i walked away from her July 5, 2011 and walked with a nurse into the adolecent unit at a pyschiatric hospital -where i would be for the next week learning how to not hurt myself- and she cried with me repeatedly calling out to me that she loved me, and that everything would be ok, that i was going to get better. how is that my mother not loving me and hating me?

one point i would love to make before i end this, is that the Bible is a book full of contridictions. it says to that if a "priests daughter is a prostotute," we need to "burn her at stake" but then, in the Ten Commandments, it says "Thou Shall Not Kill." so therefore, people not burning prostotutes at stake is not following the Bible, but yet not doing it is following one of The Ten Commandments, that "Thou Shall Not Kill." so by not doing that, we are following the bible, and then not following it, making it a contridiction. the bible is full of those. which do we follow? well, i am pretty sure that the Ten Commandments are what is best, so therefore, if i find a preachers daughter who just so happens to be a prostotute, i dont burn her at stake.

Shirley, you claim that you love homosexuals more then anyone and you love them so much that you warn them they are going to Hell, (you stated so on the Tyra show), well, by defination, Love is described as this: a profound tender, passionate affection for another person. a feeling of warm personal attachment and deep affection as for a parents, child or friend. a person toward whom love is felt. to have affection for. etc. the defination of hate is: to dislike intensely or passionately, feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward, detest. so, which one is how you really feel about homosexuals and gays, hate. that is the way you treat them, dont go up making your own definiation of love to fit the way you treat gays. that is like me going out and changing the defination of pony to a short, scaly lizard that likes to eat unicorn fluff. not true.

Here is one thing that confuses me. Your sister or some chick related to you (because you’re who freaking church is mostly your family stated that you guys) won the lawsuit because it was “God’s will.” God controls everything in this world. So wouldn’t that mean everything is His will, Obama getting elected (your antichrist), gays being allowed to marry in Washington State (yay! Something we are known for that isn’t lame!), God’s will that people are even gay in the in the first place? Would it still be God’s will if someone came into your church with a loaded gun and gunned all you down? Do to their logic, it would be God’s will, but it wouldn’t be because its them. Because they say they are the only ones who are going to heaven.
Do they even know that they protest the funerals of people who died fighting for their right to free speech? they go to war and protect our rights, and you guys just go and protest funerals of the people fighting to keep you safe? Well, that is just amazing logic, don’t you think? Wait, they have logic, what? No. no they do not.
All these people do is spread their hate! God hates F**s, God hates Muslims; God hates Jews, thank God for 9-11. Thank God for dead soldiers. God hated American.
If God hates America so much and we are such a doomed nation, why don’t you just get the hell out of our “doomed nation” and somewhere less doomed? I hear Antarctica is available. Maybe while you’re down there, you can preach some hate to the penguins, not that they would understand any of that. but maybe if we were lucky, they would freeze to death. Ok, that wasn’t very nice. But I would just settle for these crazies to leave America.
America would be less doomed without them here and maybe I wouldn’t be as embarrassed to share the same country as them. Oh well. All we can do is hope they will stop with the hate and start spreading the love.
One can only hope.
