Some awful artwork again! Mary Anne looks the best on this cover.

I have no idea why the Hell Jamie was even there in the first place!!--lol, here comes the Roseanne references again. :D I think of the episode when Darlene and Molly went off to the concert. Molly leaves Darlene in the parking lot to go screw around and Darlene has to get back home on her own. Dan was really arguing with Roseanne about the fact Roseanne let her go to begin with and how he doesn't even want to think of what could've happened to Darlene since she was so damn late getting home. Anyway, I wonder how many of the parents in Stoneybrook have similar arguments. I know arguing and bitching won't change what's happened but I think it'd would be realistic to have some anger thrown in there. You have to admit it's a drastic difference between a 16 year old girl that knew she wanted to go to a concert/had to get permission versus a 4 year old where it all falls into the parents lap. Holy shit, a 4 year old would probably beg to eat ice cream every morning for breakfast. Doesn't mean you give into that whim.

WHEN THE FUCK DID SHE DO ALL THAT? --That would've been nice to throw into a few of the chapter 2s. They could've at least thrown in different interests and talked about different things instead of the usual shit they talk about.

Mary Anne even says as much and tells Dawn that Claudia’s feeling shitty about her fucking report card again and deserves to feel good about herself.--Wow, we actually have something nice and sympathetic coming out of Mary Anne's mouth.

I can agree with that, but jeez this girl fails EVERY FUCKING REPORT CARD AND REFUSES TO TRY HARDER TO GO BETTER!!!--It's in Claudia's lap, definitely. Time warp aside, you'd think it'd be a case of "I need to try harder so I'm able to graduate with my friends." "I need to do better so I can get the hell out of middle school and high school." I'm also willing to put a bit of the blame on the Kishi parents. I would've been damned proud if I had a kid bringing home a B if she's usually bringing in failing grades. I certainly wouldn't be chewing her ass out or guilt tripping her because she didn't bring in the A.

Anyway, even with that bullshit; the race ends in a fucking tie. --*rolls eyes*

I honestly screamed with laughter when I saw Stacey's Nomi picture. What a perfect fit!

Excellent snark!

"I have no idea why the Hell Jamie was even there in the first place!!--lol, here comes the Roseanne references again"

Or, what if the boat hits the dock and kills everyone except Sharon and Jamie falls down and needs a new kidney but Sharon can't give him one because it's full of pottttt!!! *sobs into Dan as Jackie thinks she's in the sink*

lmao, another wonderful example! :D

BEST ROSEANNE EP EVER!!!

[sgrfrostedflake]

I also love MA on this cover, it's one of my faves of her.

The Kishis being disappointed with Claudia because of her B makes me think of, on Roseanne, when Becky wrote a History paper for Darlene and the paper gets graded a B. Roseanne was really proud of Darlene for achieving that grade but when she found out it was really Becky's work, she was like, " You only got a B?"

pi_beta_alpha: LOL, high five. Love that scene.

[shatisarockgod]

*nod* Exactly. It's obvious Becky probably tried her damndest to make the paper sound like it came from Darlene so I can't really side with that scene from that episode. Becky would've no doubt brought in the A if it had been her work that she was turning in for herself. Darlene's very smart but you see how her grades were all the way through the series up til the point she went to writing school so I get why Becky "dumbed" the paper down a bit.

[sgrfrostedflake]

Yeah, I totally got that Becky was trying to make the paper 'Darlene'. I just meant that Roseanne was thrilled with a B from Darlene but not from Becky. Just like I'd think the Kishis should've been proud of Claudia for getting a B on a math test and if they'd shown a little more faith and pride in Claudia for her no-so-small achievements, she might've been more motivated to try harder in school.

[shatisarockgod]

I apologize for my comment because I wasn't being clear. I meant the writing from Roseanne and Jackie's point of view because the way that scene was written made me think they didn't put it together that Becky dumbed the work down.

I also wonder how many teachers made remarks about Claudia's school work? "I expected better from you since your sister is such a genius." Either way it's a very unhealthy thing to have to put up with. I agree that Claudia needs to try harder for her own sake but she needs support from the people around her. And it seems like she didn't really have that support after Mimi died.

[sgrfrostedflake]

No need to apologize at all. I was thinking I was the unclear one.

I think you're right, Roseanne and Jackie didn't put it together like they should've.

I don't remember which book it was but I do remember Claud saying once that she hates meeting most new (to her) teachers because they're always saying, "I know what to expect from you because you're Janine's sister" and then they're always disappointed. Claudia's Potrait maybe.

[pi_beta_alpha]

Don't ask me why, but this reminds me of the kid who writes home from college with a letter that basically says "I moved in with a guy who has no money, no ambition to be anything or do anything, and he totally knocked me up. I've got a baby on the way and an STD to top it off, but I know you'll send me some money for the baby, right?" Then the letter goes on to say "I moved in with no one. There is no broke loser who knocked me up and I am not pregnant and I do not have an STD. However, I'm failing 2 of my courses, so by comparison from what you just read, it's not a big deal, right?"

[bleeding_thorn2]

I hated when Claudia's parents were bitchy about her getting a B. I would figure at this point, all they should care about is her getting decent grades to begin with!
