I don't know what brought this on.  I created a whole online journal, I have one on livejournal but that place turned into something where I hold no comfort in posting anything.  I had another mindsay account, but to be honest I forgot about it a week after creating it, therefore I do not remember the screenname or password.  Anyway, here I am, typing up an entry while listening to Evolution of Dance and switching to Falling Slowly from Once.

Lack of Tab bothers me. I was having a conversation with Colonel, my nickname for him not an actual colonel he's a friend of mine at school.  I was looking through Facebook and ran across a couple of friends who had some dramatics this year over boyfriend-stealing and whatnot and that got me thinking.  How do we blame?

I'm uncomfortable actually putting out the whole boyfriend theiving deal of cards on the table, so I'm not going to go into it.

When we point the finger, do we point them at the guilty party, who we wish were the guilted one, or do we blame someone so your friend (or boyfriend) doesn't have blame on them? 

Colonel seemed to conclude that when it comes to situations like the one above, one that involves sides, one will always tend to side with the friends.  He says that situations that include sides rarely do not consist of bias. I agree, even jury members hold prejudice, even though they aren't supposed to.  Stupid stereotyping schemas, which is a bit redundant, but I'm indifferent.  Is blame ever fair? Is blame ever justly dealt out? Or is blame designated by a judge, a jury or an academic peer?

 Oh right! The purpose of the blog title. I belong to drama club, and on more than one occasion I've heard my friends imitating British accents for a skit, and I wanted to die they're so bad. A friend of mine and I had a conversation about this before which resulted in her saying this
"They all suck at British accents. Nobody can do a British accent, not even the British."

A joke obviously, but badly imitated British accents bother me nonetheless. I know, I know who am I to say if an accent is badly imitated or not?  If it sounds like Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins it makes me wonder. If it sounds so forced it's frightening, I take it with a grain of salt.  Basically if it sounds like my friends I don't think of it as legitimately aped, because they sound forced and in the style of a certain chimney sweep.  That's just me being vicious though.
