#10 Logan Likes Mary Anne! snark - chapters 1 to 5
I've read and laughed hysterically at a thousand of these things, and I just finished my final uni exam for the year a couple of days ago, so I figured that I might have a go at snarking one of these books myself
( Read more... )
4. Charlie. What the fuck? Does this guy honestly have nothing better to do that chauffer his little sister around every fucking day --I think this is learned behavior tbh. I bet Charlie took on more of a "father figure" for the rest of his siblings when Patrick walked out. I know Elizabeth's married to Watson very early on in the series, I just don't think something like that can be dropped when this is something he's used to doing.
And what the hell does he do while Kristy is in the meetings? Does he honestly drive home and then straight back to Claudia's again?--I bet that's errand time for Charlie. Like if somebody asked him to pick up some groceries or something like that. Or maybe he just sits out in the car and listens to the radio? Of course a lot of members on this community also thinks Charlie has fun time with Janine during the meetings. :D
But instead of hiring tutors for her and making her SIT DOWN AND FUCKING STUDY, you let her go off to babysitting gigs and art classes every day after school.--The same goes for Emily Michelle. If she's delayed and you have moneybags Watson for a father, hire somebody to help Emily Michelle! They honestly pass this job off to Claudia. And as for Claudia, I guess her parents feel she'd do even worse if they forced her to drop her activities. At the same time, they're failing her by not getting some more help for her. Same goes for the school that keeps promoting her to higher grades when she clearly doesn't grasp the material.
And Jackie looks far more in love with Logan than Mary Anne does.--LOL!
You couldn't have chosen a better phrase than that?--Ann's mentally stuck in the 50s where that quote actually seems more harmless compared to now when everybody that reads that line probably smirks or laughs out loud.
Mary Anne checks the mailbox and actually SHRIEKS because Sixteen has arrived and Cam Geary is on the cover. --I'm gonna give a pass to the freak out. This actually seems like something a lot of kids/teenagers would do.
(I only discovered about a week ago that Cam Geary isn't real. I'm not even kidding.) --I just wish Ann had made up more people and things like Cam Geary. Have you read through a lot of snarks and books? Ann's fucking stuck in the 50s when it concerns pop culture too.
Mary Anne takes the job as usual, because she's the only one who can tolerate a perfectly nice child who doesn't like to play in the mud--It can't be said enough, these girls are drama queens when it concerns a kid like Jenny. Jenny >>>>>> Karen
You'd think the teachers would be more against nasty bits of chewed gum everywhere than bits of tape. --Truly.

Anyway, they get to school, Stacey pulls off a random Porky Pig imitation,--I can't buy Stacey doing this. She's so up her ass that she wouldn't act this goofy in front of outsiders.
Mary Anne puts up her poster, walks to homeroom, and almost shits her pants when she sees that there are kids in there that she doesn't know well.--I feel for her there. It's painful being in a class when you don't know anybody or not close to anybody. It's a relief having at least one person to buddy up with.
Kristy and Mary Anne have decided to stop being babyish and start buying lunch.--No, you two are being stupid. Why in the hell are you buying something that you hate? It's like these girls don't know that they can buy plain lunch boxes.
I guess that means "Goodbye, Shillaber twins!"--I truly do feel for the friends that got left behind. How can it not be a case of wracking your brain while trying to think if you said or did something to your friends that won't even acknowledge your existence anymore?
Yet you're the dumbass who bought it, Kristy!--*nods*
Can they only talk about business if they're at an official meeting?--Shit, you should see them when they're on vacation and Kristy just has to call a meeting during those times! It's like they don't think it's possible for them all to be together and talk without it being an official BSC meeting.
The flyers have business days/hours printed on them! Don't people pay attention to shit like that?--I'm honestly surprised this doesn't happen more often. 3x a week for a 30 minute meeting isn't that much time when it concerns adults that are pretty busy.
as she is apparently ALREADY behind in maths and English. --It's not surprising. She didn't grasp the 7th grade stuff and she got promoted. She's even more over her head.
He sits next to Mary Anne who freezes in place--It pains me to admit how this is pretty realistic behavior for a shy girl being next to somebody she has a crush on.
WHY did you want him sitting next to you if you're just going to be awkward throughout the whole fucking meeting?--I think it was her telling herself that she'd be as bold and confident as Stacey and Claudia. I'm gonna open my mouth and talk to him and then it all falls apart when she freezes up and is still the same old Mary Anne.
Can't say I blame him.--Truly. The Perkins kids annoy me. They're not bratty like Karen, they're just creepy to me.
Enjoyed the snark! :)

Shit, you should see them when they're on vacation and Kristy just has to call a meeting during those times!-- I remember Kristy doing that in "Stacey's Mistake" where they all go to New York. It honestly makes no sense to me at all. If they're on vacation, they're obviously going to be together... all the time. WHY can't they just sit down and talk about whatever needs to be discussed?! WHY does it have to be an official meeting?!! WHY?!!!
I'm honestly surprised this doesn't happen more often. 3x a week for a 30 minute meeting isn't that much time when it concerns adults that are pretty busy.-- I agree with this. 5:30-6 is such a bad time too. I am very rarely home before 6. But I guess since most of the clients are stay-at-home mothers, it's not a big deal. I don't understand why the cult members don't just personally give their clients their private phone numbers though, and say "call me any time". I'm sure all the kids have their favourite baby sitter who they specifically ask for - why does every job have to be offered to every member, and arranged at an official meeting? And another thing - if Claudia has to deal with all of these extra phone calls outside of meeting times, WHY isn't she allowed to keep the jobs for herself? They say that they allowed Claudia to be the vice president because of the fact that they tie up her phone line and eat her food, and since she has to deal with a shitload of extra phone calls all the fucking time. Titles don't mean shit though. She should be able to keep those extra jobs for herself! If I had to make four phone calls (and eventually six phone calls) every time I received one myself, I would be out of that club before you could say "Luevulle".

I was a shy kid, too, and there's no way that I would have ever shrieked over a photo of a celebrity on the cover of a magazine. In fact, I hated girls who acted that way, and Mary Anne just doesn't seem the type!
