Thank you Jazzy and Alissa for your help. I'm just so easily fustrated by people who don't really understand me. I fee so much better that I went to the You Tube videos where they're thumbing me down and I said
"No. I'm not going to play these games that are better suited to a 3 Y/O anymore.
If you hate me then that's okay because I don't give a s--t one way or the other but thumb me down for saying something that's from my past and that's when we're going to start seeing problems.
I've grown up but apparently somebody here hasn't grown up so if you are a Roland fan then I'm sorry but I'm not going to appologize for the way that I think."
I'm sure that I'll probably get thumbed down for that too but I'm getting so tired of people abusing me. I'm fustrated with people there. F--K THEM ANYWAYS!! (Not Roland. The people who take what I say so goddamned seriously.)

Jazz honey, you know I luv ya (and still wanna see you play that sax shirtless y’know) but honey - such a MAN you are : )))! And I say that with every ounce of southern charm I know how, darlin’ ***bats eyelashes*** : ))).
Celeste, lemme give it you with a woman’s touch, cause Jazz is right. Be yourself kiddo. People here, and most everywhere, will love you just the way you are. And they're GOOD people too. People who DON’T judge you based on first glance, or some stupid piece of gossip or rumor, or some other lame and superficial nonsense. I come from a long line of family like this, and it’s as though their sole purpose in life is to begrudge another - to single them out - make someone the spectacle, the bane of their existence. I kid your not, if they’re not angry or mean towards another, they’re not happy at all. Took me years to figure out that THEY were in the wrong, NOT ME. Smartest move I ever made was to stop listening them, stop following their example, and stop trying to please them. I don’t take their advice anymore (thank God), and I don’t make them feel better by asking them for it either. Let ‘em stew in their own juice, while YOU rise above it. You’ll be the better person for it - I guarantee it. There isn’t much about some family of mine I’d ever want to duplicate. Been that way since the day I was born. But It‘s NOT you whose in the wrong when they single you out like this. THEY ARE. It’ll take some work I know, and trying not to feel self conscious is a tough habit to break when it‘s all you‘re used to. But it CAN be done. I’m not advising you to disrespect your family. Mind your manners, but take a really good look at those who belittle you and know it’s NOT what you ever want to be. It hurts too much. But YOU are better than that - you know it and I know it. And I imagine TFF knows it too. Being a fan this long and faithfully lets me know there’s more to this band than a couple of hot guys on stage. (Oh yes, I went there)
Like I said Celeste - I’VE BEEN THERE. Reading your post was like pulling out that old file cabinet stuck in my brain from days gone by. I’ll never forget them, but don’t miss those sad days in the least. I love where life is, despite all the craziness in it. And finally, not surprisingly, I’m letting all this out on a website made by to the very same one(s) who gave me the positive reinforcement and understanding I needed to hear in the first place. (It works) Imagine that. Okay, done now, dropping it. (Pardon my contractions and epic run-on sentences this evening - gotta million things on my mind at the moment.)

I think most of his team is tagging with him to run this site. And like I mentioned he's got a great team he's working with, so If they don't get back with some of your questions just assume they are very busy with other things. I do love the idea that Curt interacts with his fans. Gotta love the internet!!! Growing up in the 80's, I could only imagine him on MTV on his Music Videos and never had crossed my mind to ever meet him one day here in LA.

:) Thanks Jazzy. That makes me feel a whole lot better. :) I'm trying to spend a lot of time working on myself and my social skills but it's not very easy for me since I'm a very shy person. One of the reasons why I admire Curt so much is because he knows how shy people are since I see him as being very shy himself. I'm a very introverted person. I like to keep to myself. I've been this way since I was younger and people just don't seem to understand me very well. People seem to think that I'm weird because I feel shy and I don't know how to act around people. So when someone says "Celeste come and be social with us" I don't really want to be social because it's really kind of akward for me. It actually takes some time for me to warm up to people.
December it will have been a year since I registered here. Because I was so shy to talk to him I waited for a few days before I registered because I wasn't sure if he was running the site or if he had someone else running it for him. Then I thought that if it's not him then it will be good for a laugh but contrary if it is him then he'd be able to answer some of my questions....... Which he did. I was gushing for days after that. It made me feel so proud. Even then I had a little bit of "famous musician talking to me" anxiety even though Curt doesn't consider himself to be famous.
Okay I'm babbling so it's time to knock this off.

I'm gonna throw myself under the bus here, and with all due respect to you Celeste, I think you worry too much of what other people perceive of you. You're not trying to prove anything to anybody. You just want to be the cool normal self you are. If people get annoyed with you or vice versa, who cares! Just be your normal confident self. If you generate a fun positive impact or attitude, two things can only possibly happen here. 1) You get appreciated and get good responses. Or, 2) People get envious because you get those good positive vibe and responses, (many people, not all, always wants that 15 minute of fame) That's it!! I've been around enough people all the time socializing and yes I am a very social person by nature, that is why I have the confidence (not being cocky) to give an advise on this. I want to add that you should not worry too much of what Curt thinks as well. This is his Website and I'm sure he just wants to keep it under control to make everything pleasant to all of us KOOKS here. If Curt suggest not to do stuff, as embarrassing as it may sound being addressed to an individual or more, try to take it as a positive learning experience. Remember Curt just wants to keep things under control. If you ever meet Curt in person, he is one of the most coolest, chill celebrities I have met in my lifetime and don't me wrong lots of celebrity musicians I'v looked up too has disappointed me too after I met them in person.
Life is a journey. You may have to take precautions because of detours. Sometimes you just got to do what need to do at the moment, and you will know what is best without even trying too hard about it. Nobody has to agree with me on this because it is also a case by case situation. Just be your cool normal self, always remember you cannot please everybody, so why fret about it?!?! :D
Shakas Up!!! ;)

I know. That's my feeling. Yesterday, which was my grandpa's birthday, went off without a hitch. But last Christmas my aunt took it upon herself to embarrass me in front of my great aunt and my great uncle then she became critical of me for getting up and walking away from her. :P
She said out loud: "There goes Celeste going back to her nonsense on the computer." I yelled back: "I heard you in there." But then that's the way my aunt and my uncle talk to each other.
She looked at me bold faced one day and said "Celeste when are you going to move out?"? I said "Not right this minute." I have been thinking about moving back to Toronto but only after something happens to my grandfather.
It's very thearaputic to vent like this. There are certain members of my family that I'd like to have euthinized. :P

Celeste --->"I just can't socialize with people all that well and I especially can't socialize with some of my family members. I just get up and walk away from them rather than confront them and risk having my knuckles realigned. "
Celeste - not sure how deep this is going, but let me say this one thng: SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST SOME FAMILY MEMBERS NOT WORTH SOCIALIZING WITH. I'll leave it at that - I speak from experience - will check in later. ~Alissa

Hey guys I know this isn't the most appropriate of places to talk about this but I feel that I need to get something out in the open.
I've just started thinking about what people have been telling me about my lack of social skills. Well, there's a reason for my lack of social skills. I just don't like to be social with anybody. If you guys really want to know just how bad my social skills are I don't really like to socialize with anyone in my family because some of them just berate me in front of my grandfather and I want to punch someone in the face for being not so understanding.
That's about how bad my social skills are. Everytime someone says "Hey Celeste come on and be social" I just want to cringe. I don't know what it is about socializing with people that I'm afraid of? Some of it is just sheer panic of what people are thinking about me, do they think that I'm wierd for feeling this way, and some of it is that I just want to blend into the background and just not let anyone know that I'm there.
Is it wierd or strange to have these feelings of "oh god what do people think about me?"? Does Curt think that I'm wierd for being not-so good at socializing? Does Curt hate me for displaying this type of behaviour? I don't know?
I feel like I'm the black sheep of my family or the odd one out if you will. I just can't socialize with people all that well and I especially can't socialize with some of my family members. I just get up and walk away from them rather than confront them and risk having my knuckles realigned.
I don't know what is? I just hate having these feelings of not knowing if people like me or not.

Thanks Allison. Like I said It's kind of hard for me to resist saying what I want to say. I've loved this group since I was 9 years old. It's a given that I think about them constantly. But honestly I know that there is life outside of my computer and thank goodness my mom is still around to help me realize that. Otherwise I would disappear into my computer world and nobody would ever see me again.
Roland and Curt both are very attractive men to me. I don't say what I say just to get a rise out of them. I say what I say because it's the honest truth. It's honestly the way that I feel about them. I hope that Curt doesn't think of me as some sort of weirdo because of what I say.

Hahahah Celeste, you come up with the greatest/most outrageous/did she just say that? comments! "Roland and Curt are two of the hottest mofos that I can see." I love how you just throw that in there at the end all non challant. My goodness! :^)
Posted by Celeste on Monday, July 6, 2009 - 19:16.
Hey Donna! I didn't start that stuff about Roland's teeth on here. I did go a bit overboard talking about it but who wouldn't? :( I do see beauty and attractiveness in people's "imperfections" but that's all. Maybe it's hard for me to put it into words that are appropriate but to me imperfections are what make people attractive to me. I don't think that there's anything wrong with liking people's imperfections but I do tend to babble on and on about it because that's how much imperfections mean to me. If that makes me superfficial then I guess I'm superfficial.
It's hard for me to resist it because Roland and Curt are two of the hottest mofos that I can see.

Timelessgirl, I am with you rooting for an East Coast concert.
We have wineries in Connecticut too! And tennis!! And the 2 biggest casinos in the world,
with beautiful concert venues from large to medium to cozy. =)

Well, after reading Celeste's, shall I say, smut (with ever such a hint of truth quite honestly) I figured I better rephrase my Roland addiction. I am solely addicted to his MUSIC and must have my Roland and Tears for Fears fix daily. And I mean daily. I have tried to go a few days without but find myself falling hard back into the music when I do. My poor kids - ages 15 and 10 bear witness to this ...it is a funny thing listening to my 10 year old daughter sing "Kill Love" and "Sketches of Pain"..she knows all the Tears for Fears songs as well of course. I'm more proud of my 15 year old rap,alternative rock son listening and singing along to "For the Love of Cain" on his ipod. Proud I am. So, once again I will partake in another Tears for Fears reunion vicariously thru the Kooks and this site. This really sucks.
PS. By the way Roland, out here on the east coast we have great wineries too! I live in the heart of Virginia's wine country and they are producing some great wines. And how about a spot of tennis... Can't you guys be persuaded to come east?
Posted by timelessgirl on Monday, July 6, 2009 - 09:46.
I haven't "been connected" to this site for months...but I'm addicted - to Roland mainly. Plus I obviously must intentionally enjoy torturing myself like a kid in a candy store who is not allowed even one piece - all the TFF concerts are on the west coast and I am sadly on the East...and cannot get out there. Those terrible jealous pangs viewing these rehearsal pics, feeling the excitement thru the rest of you Kooks that will be attending and knowing I, once again, will miss my favorite guys is enough to make me not want to visit the site again. But alas, my curiosity will peak once again after the concerts and I will want to torture myself once again and see what I have missed...oh dear what have I become.
PS. Curt and Roland pllleeease come East...some day?

You can't tell because he's hidden behind his guitar but I think Mr Rolly has lost some weight. He's not quite as chunky as he was when I saw him in that live version of Shout that was someone's recorded concert footage.
Awwe hell who am I kidding? He looks so f--king fantastic it's making my heart beat about a thousand beats per minute.
Fantastic! Roland will be in my dreams tonight. Not that dreaming about Rolly isn't a good thing. ;) ;)

I've been listening to these two guy sing for many years, fell in love with them as a teenager and still have that same love for them today, Celeste, your right, they are very attractive men and they still are to this day! Oh the crushes I had on them when I was younger! Now my 15 yr old daughter has the same lil crush LOL, it's so cute to see! I do have to say though, back in the day Roland was my man, Curt was great and all but ohhhh Roland, I think they have changed sides though, Curt just got better and better looking with age, not that Roland hasn't, he's still very attractive to me! I would love to see/meet them one day, I wish they would come to Arkansas one day but I doubt that will happen :-(
