kids today!
I'm doing what I normally do when I first go online for the day, reading my homepage, when I scroll to the bottom and read the top 5 songs on iTunes. Katy Perry, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and The Pussycat Dolls. What is this world coming to? Know Viva La Vida might actually be a good song, not knowing myself because Coldplay sucks, and I Kissed A Girl does seem to be popular with a very wide variety of people, personally I don't like her voice so I never listened through the entire song. I didn't even know The Pussycat Dolls were still around. How does anyone like that stuff? Miley Cyrus? The Jonas Brothers? When did these Disney kids take over the world -- when did it happen? I honestly can't decide whether I think Miley's voice is intresting or completely annoying, but The Jonas Brothers are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked! As if these names would be among my Johnny Cash or Queen or Ramones in my iPod. I'm not saying that I'm superior, but at least my pop princess garbage consists of Britney, Christina, and Pink. Yes I guss I do consider myself superior because Britney can kick Miley's ass. Thank you for listening to my rant.
This morning we went to iHop for my birthday. A lot of people came. The Grandmas, Mom&Dad, Uncle Dave&Aunt Gloria, Uncle Paul&Aunt Molly, Aunt Debbie, Jessica, Molly, Jake, Tania, and Dan. And myself obviously. $50 from G.Kosie -- she also left a wrapped box at my seat telling me not to open it until my birthday. It made a rattling noise at the touch so we all assumed nerds, I opened it in the car though and it was actually a box of mac&cheese. $25, a hat, and a purse from G.Davies. Jess and Jake got me a tiny bottle of tequila and lime. Then Moll put the iHop salt shaker in my bag too. It was just a fun morning, talking, laughing, picture taking. Nonsense really. Jake did smile for my picture with him though. The look on the faces of Molly, Tania, and Jessie was absolutely hilarious. Just complete awe that Jake would actually take a normal, good, smiling picture. Then they whipped out their cameras screaming, "One more! One more!" It was so funny, Jake simply replied, "Nope. Once a year." Then he turned to me and wished me a happy birthday.
I started reading Dry by Augusten Burroughs, and it's pretty good. It's just like Running With Scissors except now he trying to get away from his job rather than school. I read things like this and I can't help but wonder if it actually is his really life. Running With Scissors was hard enough to believe, but now this twenty four year old guy get an advertisement job with just about no education. The man could barely read.
As I lay on my bed today watching tv, I see that Harry Potter is on. I immediatley flip the chanel thinking, eww Harry Potter. I flip through the endless stream of crap that is television without even finding an old sitcom or a filthy dating show. I give up on watching tv and turn on the radio, I don't recognize anything on any of presets and go back to the tv. Maybe something magicall appeared in the two minutes I was listening to the radio. I found myslef constantly flipping back to Harry Potter. I didn't want to admit the reason, but I knew it was just because I wanted to see Robert Pattinson. I am sick, I know it. This kid who would otherwise mean absolutely nothing to me. Yes he is desperatley attractive, but if he were not Edward Cullen, I would have no idea he was in Harry Potter, I wouldn't even know who he was. But know that I am obsessed with everything Twilight, which led to obsession about Edward Cullen, which led to an obsession with Robert Pattinson -- or should I say Spunk Ransom. It makes me vomit in my mouth a little to realize that I am one of those stupid fangirls who think that this man is, in all reality, the fictional character I am in love with. I'm starting to truly understand what Chuck Klosterman was saying about Lloyd Dobbler.
