You know how it is. There's always something you see, and you think, "What the....?".....okay, maybe that's just me. But I'll show you some examples:
1. People don't wash their hands. I don't know if they're ashamed, scared, embarrassed, or confused. I don't see what the big deal is. You wash your hands so you can be clean and not get AIDS* or something. So I don't understand why people walk out of the bathroom, look at the sink kind of shyly, then just leave! You know that little thing that they do....come out of the bathroom stall, walk slowly, glance around to see if anyone notices that they aren't going to wash their hands, then leave. It's DISGUSTING.
2. If someone doesn't respond the way another person wants them too, the other person leaves. Okay that was kind of weird to read. Let's say person 1) Linus, is talking to person 2) Darren. Here's their conversation:
Linus: I just bought the new Justin Bieber CD! *squeals*
Darren: Uhhh....cool, bro?
Linus: Dude, you don't like Justin Bieber?
Darren: ....Nope.
Linus: Why not?
Darren: Sorry, I'm just not into that kind of music.
Linus: Oh. I'll talk to you later then. I have to go....home.
Darren: And listen to your CD, right? *laughs jokingly trying to make the mood lighter*
Linus: Yeah. Bye, then. *never texts back, calls, or looks at ever again*
Do you see my point now? People are really arrogant today. They think that if something is "all the rage" everyone likes it. That's actually not true, buddy boy. A lot of people like many different things.
3. People judge by shoes. I'm not joking at all. Although you may be laughing (I'm laughing too), it's so true. At my school, if people don't have Vans, cute sandals, or flats, you are spit upon. Well, technically not "spit upon" but you are looked down on. If you don't believe me (ask the dishes!), just look around where you are. Go to a public place, preferably by a teenager hangout. Walk past, and discreetly make eye contact. I'm telling you, these guys will look at your shoes and decide who you are. It's so silly. Or if you're at school, you just match up friends with shoes. If you see a couple making out, it's because of their shoes. Just look, and they'll both be wearing red Vans. Not even kidding.
4. People assume everyone's read, watched and is obsessed with Twilight. (Sorry if that sentence sounds weird. It's the start of school again and I'm already tired of writing.) I don't necessarily dislike these kind of people. I just feel bad they can't understand the truth: not everyone likes Twilight.
5. Surprisingly, a lot of people have never tasted Spam...or even know about it. For me, I was born and raised on that stuff. I still love it, too. It may be acraploadofmeatssmushedtogetherinacan, but it is quite tasty. I was texting my friend the other day, and she said she was on a diet. I was joking along and asking her what she could eat. Then I asked, "hav u evar eetn SPAM??? :))))" (I love making fun of people who actually text like this). Do you know what her answer was? "I've never eaten Spam before! Haha" (or something like that. I'm too lazy to check my phone). Exactly my point.
6. No one actually read books before Twilight came out. Seriously. My friend (I won't use her real name, so let's just call her....Kristen), Kristen never read. Ever. Every time I talked to her, I would be like, "Heyyy! How's it going? *yadayadaydadasdhsdgkhsdkjfnkeeptalking* So what books have you been reading lately?" Her response: "Hmm...I haven't actually read a book since I was 5. And that one was a picture book". *Frowns* Then this Twi*ight epidemic broke out, and people were scrambling all over the place to find a real vampire who could bite them and turn them into a vampire, so they could marry Ed*ard. *Facepalm* Just kidding. But it seemed that instead of a vampire, it was that ridiculous book that everyone wanted their hands on! I talked to Kristen (do you get my pun?) later, and asked her, "How's it going? Have you read anything else besides that picture book?". While I was laughing uncontrollably (more like choking and spitting on my own stupid segue (if I'm using that word right)), she said, "Yeah, I'm really into this Twi*ight book!". I stopped laughing then and a bit of me died right then**. Ever since then, I can't get into a conversation with anyone without them saying something about "that certain book"***. But in a way, I suppose it's good that more people are reading.
7. People don't realize how stupid they sound when they repeatedly swear. I'm not talking about the occasional cussing. I'm saying the...."What the ------ duuuude. I'm so stoned right now it's -------- ridiculous as ------ you know? Hah yeah! ----- right! -----!! What the ------- ------ ------- -------?! Your mom ---- ------- ---- hahhaa, right?"**** I actually heard someone say this exact thing when I was walking to class one day. Yeah. It was pretty crazy, I know. My favorite musician, Ben Folds, cusses all the time. I don't mind it because he's older...and famous....I guess. I don't know. He just can. Maybe I'm just making up excuses. But anyway, these kids are like, 17? And they're saying ridiculous crap that I don't want running through my already young adolescent mind. If I keep hearing this, I could start cussing too, you know. Go to raves and all that. Party it up with the drunktards. It's a GATEWAY to DRUGS!!!***** But no one wants that, do they? Plus, it's against school rules to use "foul language". I really couldn't care less when people occasionally say it, but I really don't care about some girl who called another girl *an obscure name.....hmmm* and she will kick *sldkfhsdsdlkgyo*. I don't care. All I want to do is finish class already so I can go home, but no. Now I have to deal with this too?
8. It's really not a big deal to burp. I just remembered this from a few nights ago, when my mom, my sister, and I were at Panda Express talking about this. For example, if someone burps in class, I think it's fine as long as they say like, "Excuse me" or "Ooops! Hahaha". But I HATE IT when people make a big hairy deal out of it, and say, "Oh. Excuse you!!" Jerks. Knock it off already. We don't need your idiotic comments here.
9. Orchestral music is awesome. Really really awesome. Or like, music that's a cappella, with a choir, or just by itself. Pretty dang amazing. Here's a few that are...fantastic:
Roxanne (Moulin Rouge soundtrack)
Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream soundtrack)
Lullabye (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
Before Cologne (Ben Folds - Way To Normal)
Smoke (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
O Fortuna (Carl Orff)
Still -Reprise- (Ben Folds - Over the Hedge)
Steven's Last Night in Town (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
Piano Fantasy (William Joseph - Within)
Kylie From Connecticut (Ben Folds - Way To Normal)
I think that's it for my rant of the day. Toodleooooo.
*I randomly insert various rare diseases so you can imagine the worst.
**Wow. I'm really sarcastic when I'm writing. If you heard me talk, you would probably get when I do that, but since this is writing, I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
***Every time I do " this ", use your imagination (or what's left of it) to pretend I'm speaking with air quotes.
****I just put random dashes everywhere. Don't worry. Bonus: If you want to, you can insert random words (not bad words, stupid) and go crazy with it. And if you really want, you can post what you redid as a comment. Or something. No one reads this anyway. So you can go wild. But not too wild. Because you still want to be responsible, yeah?
*****Yeah, I'm making fun of the people who repeat everything as, "It's a gateway drug!!!!"
haha, you are pretty funny justine. i like your rants and raves. ;)
