Beware, Dawn! Part 1!

[road_baby]

So, I got my tablet cable and I should be working on my commissions but I wouldn't be me if I wasn't a slut for procrastination. Besides, I've learned to never draw when you're not int the right mood because you will produce garbage. At least that's the excuse I'm giving. Anyways, this book is thankfully not by Suzanne Weyn, but by Ellen Miles. I

" the kids at school probably think she's weird because sometimes she wears non-matching earrings. Dawn? The kids at SMS grew up with Claudia Kishi. She watched Zoolander and thought Derelicte sounded like a great fashion line and made a dress out of a trash bag."

HAHAHAHAA! Made me LOL for real :D

I never liked Mel (the troubled kid), troubled or not.

"Like, really, Dawn. You know she's a crybaby who gets traumatized over the littlest thing yet you still saw it fit to scare the shit out of her because you made a mistake. I know I bring it up a lot, but Goddamn if that wasn't the worst thing I ever read. Because even when I read a book about a psycho killer qu'est-ce que c'est, they don't pretend to be friends with their victims afterwards! I reiterate, Dawn is a Goddamn scoiopath."

I have this thing pinging in my brain that is hissing "Dawn is really Jessica Wakefield, and MA is really Elizabeth Wakefield with a dye job". Cause really. The personalities and MA/Liz's doormat syndrome are just too close for comfort, and Dawn and Jessica are both friggin' sociopathic crazies. If only Logan could learn to punch shit as much as Todd wilkins did.

"Holding a conversation with a BSC member must be a fucking ordeal if they can't pay attention for more than a minute without thinking about what clothes their friends wear or their eating habits or some shit."

(At the Schafer household..)
Sharon: "Dawn! Jeff's hair is on fire!"
Dawn: (staring into space, emitting a streamer of drool out of the corner of her mouth)
Sharon: "DAWN!!"
Dawn: "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about how Claudia is Japanese-American."
Sharon: "FFS YOUR BROTHERS EYEBROWS JUST SINGED COMPLETELY OFF OF HIS FACE"
Dawn: "MOM, did you know Jessi is black?!?!?! OMGGGGG"

"I'll just pretend when it says 'Karen' it really says 'Nyogtha, The Thing Which Should Not Be'. Well, whatta ya know! Nyogtha, The Thing Which Should Not Be, is be a particular little brat wanting things done a certain way! Because there's rules to eating crackers! Mmm hmm!"

I wish I could high-five you right now. A lot of the sitting charges are at least likable in some way or another, but Karen is just absolutely the worst. Why did she get a spin off and no one else? I guess the Perkins kids were too busy preparing their thesis in which Einstein was Wrong or something.

Wasn't there another book out there that had a sitter of the month or sitter of the year contest? And they went around interviewing kids and they all came out completely horrible sounding? Jackie Rowdowsky said something about "everytime I get injured they're there to bandage me up and take me to the ER" and Norman Hill is all "they never let me eat cookies no matter how hard I beg and cry and they insist I eat carrots instead" etc.?

Yeah, I never liked Mel either. I mean, I get that he was 'troubled' but he was still an asshole. And who wants to read about assholes? Well, apparently young girls because this series sold and everyone in it is an asshole.

Omg. I may have to make a comic out of your 'Jeff is on fire' line.

Was there another book with this plot? Did Norman really say that? If anyone knows, please tell me which one it was so I can snark it!

"Was there another book with this plot? Did Norman really say that? If anyone knows, please tell me which one it was so I can snark it!"

I believe it was the B plot in the Fire at Mary-Anne's house. Which truly is an unsnarkable book, and the A plot was pretty darn well written and good. The B plot was pretty hysterical though.
