There are a lot of groups out there for idealism, cultivating wonder and non-ironic motivational posters. This is not one of those groups.

Don't get me wrong, we love those earnest, wide-eyed idealists. They're good people. We like good people. But what we like even more is a pithy zinger.

We were or are the Darias of our school. We are the deadpan snarkers. We aspire to be badasses, and hold ourselves to high ideals. But some days the only thing that keeps us sane is to take the piss out of ourselves and everything around us. With love. That said - this is still a group for respectful, supportive behaviour and we want people to be willing to help each other and treat each other well. But you also need to be able to step back from yourselves, your situation, get some perspective and have a laugh about it all.

Sometimes we wise-cracking observers just want to be a little sarcastic and know that the audience is in on it too, that everyone else knows this is just how we function, and no one is going to take our wackiness to heart. This party, FPS, welcomes clever, creative or just wacky folk who want to combine working towards their goals with a healthy dose of wisecracking.
