Stacey's Movie Chapters 6-10
Chapter 6
Stacey is worried about the movie. She goes to bed and has a dream that inspires her. It does not involve a sparkling vampire, by the way. I was thinking about whether Stacey would be Team Edward or Team Jacob. I would say Edward because he’s rich and I think Stacey will grow up to be a gold digger. Stacey wakes up with a great idea and ( Read more... )

Rapunzel had a better dream. She wanted to see the golden lanterns gleam.
If they did a doc on bullying, they could turn the camera on Kristy in this very book for what she's doing to Jackie.
Pete talks about how he feels stuck at being thirteen.
I wonder if the lampshading is intentional.
I do feel for Jessi. Who does she have that she can hang out with now? The BSC exiles you for a new friend. She'd have to give up a lot to have a new friend, and you know Mal would feel replaced (in a way, she would be), and I don't think Jessi would want to hurt the first person who accepted her, and became her best friend.
Stacey is stunned because she didn’t think that Jessi thought of them as white kids.
This shows how privileged Stacey is. She thinks of Jessi as the black girl, and tells us in every single book. But the second she finds out the black kid thinks about the white kids being white kids, she's stunned.
I'm related to middle-school drop-outs. I've got a cousin who is a 5th-grade dropout and managed to fly under the radar. I've got some really stupid aunts who let their kids do this. It's not legal to drop out. Even if you're in high school, you're required by law to go until you're 18 or graduate, whichever is earlier. Rarely do they prosecute for high-school dropouts, and for younger kids, the school has to know, and they don't always know.
I just had a though. Kristy is psychotic. As this series has gone on, she's gotten to be more and more of a control-freak and cares less and less about other people to the point that she doesn't understand simple things and doesn't care to. She's that person who would probably have a break one day and kill her kids for not following her plans just right. I'm not joking about this. Kristy has gotten scary. Thank goodness this regular series was close to an end by this point, and when they were all rebooted in Friends Forever, they were all more normal.
Mary Anne needs therapy. Again not meant in a joking way. She's got a lot of issues that she's had to deal with on her own. It's not fair that it's like she's expected to be okay because she never knew her mother.

I picture Jessi sitting by herself and she doesn't really say or do much at the meetings anymore. And she's probably just as lonely at school. I don't think the cult would approve of Jessi making a new friend even if Mallory's gone. "Jessi, why are you trying to make new friends? We're the best friends you'll ever have! *creepy grins*" Nevermind the fact they're in separate grades and it's not like Jessi has classes with the 8th graders or can sit and eat lunch with 8th graders.
