Last friday DK asked about Jovo.
"I know I don't really know him, but did JoVo make out of New Orleans?"
I was confused. It was like he was trapped there or something.
"Um, He was there last time I checked, but he might've moved since then. Why?"
"Because of the hurricane." And that was the first I heard of Katrina.
Funny that it was brought up because of JoVo.

Regardless, a lot of signs came up after that. My parents, since I had met JoVo personally, wouldn't stop asking about him. Which was even more annoying than when they kept asking about Crafty, because they couldn't even remember JoVo's name.
They said, "Hey, have you talked to that guy from New Orleans?" Ugh.

"We're not on talking terms right now. We got into an argument."
"About what?"
"It's personal, it doesn't matter, but he blocked me from everything, so I don't talk to him anymore."
"What was it about?"
"I honestly don't care if he died in that hurricane."

Mistake of the day. Congradulate me on my stupidity sometime.
Anyway, all this talk about JoVo and hurricanes made me feel curious, so I went to JoVo's website.
Turns out the IP ban he had on me is off(or he forgot to re-instate it after the security update thing), but the account ban's still on. I'm not sure how that works, but whatever. Just makes browsing the forums easier for me.
Point being, he said he was up in Tulsa with Crafty. Great. That's sarcasm, by the way. That "Great".

I've been getting an overwhelming amount of signs lately. I don't know what they mean. Yeah, I'm a sign person. All these people talking about Jovo? Sign.
All the talk about Hurricanes + Jovo? Sign.
Here's the kicker: Everyone's been reading "Ther Perks of being a Wallflower" lately. What makes that a sign? Well, today I got a glimpse at the inside of it. Being as I've never read the thing before, nor know what it's really about.
What did I see?
This is it. Right here:

I'm serious. A whole paragraph started out like that. Maybe four for repetition's sake, but that many?
I commented on it and the guy reading the book said, "Yeah, I think the guy who wrote it was a freshman."
My immediate thought was something along the lines of, "Well if people read this crap just because it's about a depressed person, then maybe I should publish my lifestory."
I mean. Jesus. The only reason that's a sign is because it was paired with people reading "A Prozac Nation" and the awkward coincidence of a vocabulary word "prosaic" that was compared to prozac.

I remember mumbling, "Prozac sucks, zoloft and others are better.." and someone butt in my personal thoughts: "Zoloft is for Depression."
"So is Prozac, idiot."
Whatever.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to get across is that JoVo took that rant way too seriously, and I was mad at the time as well. After complaining to Crafty for the third time about not being able to look over the famous rant(sorry crafty) I finally was emailed my OWN PIECE OF WRITING.
If I knew it would've been so bad I would've saved it myself. I mean, geez.

Regardless, two whole days I spent analyzing the thing, seeing if I should apologize.
Crafty IMed me randomly one day and apologized for the informal cease and desist. The first thing I said to her. The first thing.
"Don't apologize for what you believe in."
It's a sign.
Why? Because I called Evil Disco a Hypocrite. Well, I said that, then corrected myself to say that a certain statement was hypocritical of him.
Perhaps he has some sort of mental block in not allowing himself to think he is hypocritical in any way, or truly believes I was in the wrong. Regardless of what it was, he asked me to apologise multiple times (as if saying "sorry" would somehow erase the comment, I mean come on) and I refused, he finally blocked me from his IMs.
I didn't think I was being overtly rude about it, I was trying to explain why I thought the way I did, and all he replied with was "You misunderstood me, you misunderstand everything, you're wrong."
And since that's all he can come up with, I kind of think I'm right, still.

Strange coincidence = sign.
I'm a sign person.
