In one of the lesser known factoids about The Third Reich, not only was Hitler instrumental in killing millions, but he made it a point to erase those who opposed him from history as well. Hitler's regime doctored hundreds - perhaps thousands - of photographs so that those who appeared in them were erased from the image in the hopes that they would be erased from history as well.

I bring up acts of revisionist history because in the span of a month, k3llya, the de-facto demigod of Ceremony and, by extension, Pittsburgh's goth scene has committed said act twice in just this month. First, in the flyer announcing the final Ceremony at The Upstage, DJ MissJoi's photo was conspicuously absent. Now, Kelly has posted an eight-minute video on youtube.com highlighting 10 years of Ceremony. Once again joi_division's visage is noticeably absent, which is particularly absurd since photos of her are not hard to find.

Speaking of revisionist history, Ceremony's anniversary is in January; the night has only lasted a little over nine years, not ten.

You all wonder why Joi doesn't ever show up? You all wonder why it takes a team of horses to make me show up? Do you really need to wonder? It's this bullshit! Neither one of us has the time nor the patience for it. Kelly is obviously playing games and trying to "get back" at Joi for whatever pathetic reason she has ratting around her empty little head - well, fine; she can play her little games.

Personally, I think this girl is a pathetic specimen of "humanity" who should really keep her skanky little arse planted in Utah rather than constantly crawling back to Pittsburgh. Hey bitch - you don't see me wandering back to Potsdam in a pathetic attempt to relive my former "glories," do you? Kelly, darling, you are a cunt who really needs to drink a large, steaming cup of Go Fuck Yourself.
