However, I'm going to try my best.

So, I was visiting my good friend ivesia19 a couple of weeks ago, and we came across this file on my computer entitled "Badass Week."  Being the inquisitive girl she is, my good friend asked, "What the hell is that?"  

Ashamedly, I opened the file and started to tell the tale of my freshman year at a super-conservative/preppy/repressed/etc. college (which she knows about since we lived next door to each other).  I would often sink into fits of crankiness to due to heavy workload and a general intolerance of my tastes in music, clothing, and lifestyle.  This prompted another of my friends and I to declare periodic "Badass Week"s in which we did and wore whatever the hell we wanted and adopted a demeanor that discouraged any criticism (or personal interactions, really).  The inspiration for most of this behavior sprung from frequent viewings of the movie Fight Club and the reading and re-reading of copious amounts of Chuck Palahniuk books.

Meanwhile, in Alabama, my older sister was going through similar situations at an even more conservative university.  I explained the ritual of Badass Week, but she didn't seem to get it.  My verbal skills sadly lacking, I set about creating a handbook of sorts, filled with rules, picture examples, and various behavioral explanations.  

Thus, this manifesto document was born.

So here we are. ivesia19  told me I absolutely must share these revelations with the world, threatening me with complete and utter annihilation if I refused.
