Okay so I just want to say first that my new catch phrase is going to be "SPICY TUNA!" because I said it today out of the blue when I ate something spicy. And it was not tuna.
Anyway. Tonight was the season finale of "Skins". To be honest, it was not that bad. And there was NO sex in it! Almost none. It included a fake kidnapping, a mute girl finally talks, and lesbians in a hospital bed. But here's the main thing I would like to discuss. Although it's not really discussing because I'm talking to myself.
At the end of this episode, this pothead burnout with long hair is at this club with his friends and he is trying to fix all the drama like always. Then this girl that he sort of likes comes up to him and she was all like "Stanley, (that's his name, laugh out loud) you need to just flip out. Just express yourself. Go crazy for once!" and he was all "FINE!" and you know what he does?! He goes out on the stage and grabs the mic and starts singing "Shout" by Tears For Fears. Okay.
First of all, singing a song by Tears For Fears? Really? You smoke weed more than Cheech and you drink hard alcohol FROM THE BOTTLE. AND! You are sixteen years old and you decided to steal your dads car to drive around like you had a license! Which of course, you did not. And you're telling me that the first song you think of to sing in front of a club full of people is "SHOUT" BY TEARS FOR FEARS?! I do not think so. Maybe you were trying to think of a song by freakin SLIPKNOT. Or Insane Clown Posse. Or whatever the HELL burnouts listen to nowadays. Not Pink Floyd. That's for acid droppers.
But yeah, in the end, he gets two girls. I'm guessing the song he sang did it, because his bloodshot eyes and that long greasy hair of his definitely didn't. He gets the girl that his best friend was dating and that he has been in love with the whole season. THEN, he gets the girl that liked him, but he didn't like until recently. And they know about each other, which proves one thing. Girls are stupid.
Speaking of stupid, I overheard a conversation about a girl who wanted to know how to spell "autobahn". Then, two grown men were trying to help her, and they were saying silly things like "oh it's spelled a-u-t-o-b-o-n." And she was believing them. I do not know why people think spelling is so hard, but it's not. It makes me mad when people spell things wrong. That is why I'm mad at myself because last week Shroeder and I thought the word "privileged" had a D in it. I'm so ashamed.
I still think it's spelled with a D in the middle. No matter how many times the red dotted line shows up under it.
In other news, I think I may be a feminist. Don't laugh.
I realized this when I saw Sally (the same sister unwrapping all of the miniature reeses) unwrap a hershey kiss for her boyfriend before giving it to him. I had an urge to smack her. With me, it's like "YOU'VE GOT HANDS, UNWRAP THE KISS YOURSELF!" I think this makes me a feminist.
But I guess it could be love. Everybody has their own ways of expressing their love. For Sally, it's unwrapping all the candies so he doesn't have to. For me, it's just limiting the names you call people. If I love you, I just won't be AS mean to you as I am to everyone else. But as far as unwrapping candy and basically FEEDING it to you, do it yourself, goddammit.
That really seems like a strong note to go out on.
