LOL well when its customers at my work I'm not allowed to say such things to them!

I've just had one comment that nicked me off ... a FB friend left a comment on one of my Jedward photo albums, where I'd been saying how fun they'd been and how they'd been the first thing to put a smile on my face for a long time etc, and she added a comment 'I couldn't think of anything worse - LOL!' (my OH did suggest I replied with 'A night in your company?' but I resisted
.
I don't mind anyone not being into them, but I just thought that posting that on my FB page was just bad manners, especially when that person was well aware of the otherwise crappy year I'd had. I'd never leave negative comments on anyone's photo albums.
I promptly de-friended her ... very therapeutic

Ahhh I'll bet!
I dunno why people have to be so rude really. I think more people are just accepting it now whereas at the beginning they were like 'what ARE you doing?!'
People at my work have only just realised though (bosses and customers) which is weird considering I've been taking time off work for their gigs and stuff a bit. Some of the immature younger guys just say 'Jedward' to me at random moments for no reason but I just ignore it, or they'll go on about stupid stuff. Oh and they keep spiking their hair up and asking if they look like them now, my answer is obviously always NO.
My mum asks me more about them now though. When they were on X Factor she didn't like them and didn't understand why me and my sister did, now I think she can see they're awesome guys. She still thinks they can't sing though

I will get there with her! She was asking me about their concerts and how I could sit through them more than once... I was like... you saw them perform on the X Factor, it's so much fun!
I dunno, it's kind of weird because being in this fandom is kind of like being in a completely different world, so when it crosses over into my working life and family life it's hard to explain.
Like I don't think my mum understands how or why we go and see them so much. At first she thought it was coz I fancied them but as I've said sooo many times they are just such nice guys.
Ahh well, I can't actually explain what I am trying to say.
I hope they have fun in South Africa!
