(no subject)
So I'm officially sick of endings that aren't happy. Honestly, it's starting to get ridiculous. For the past six months, every movie and book that I have seen or read has had an ending that has not been happy. No boy gets any girl, relationships and friendships break up, and everyone seems to have this "eh-such-is-life" attitude. And I don't know about you, but I don't subscribe to that attitude. I expect the extraordinary in my life, and I am not okay with mediocre endings.
Like, this book I just read. I won't ruin it for anybody who actually cares about this book, which is probably no one, but ruined endings are the worst, even if they suck. So, admits all sorts of other stories, this girl meets this guy in a foreign country and they fall in love but she lives in the states. End of book 1. Book 2, they break up because she can't handle the distance (totally understandable) and he flys to the states to win her back. (Please refrain from commenting on the plot as I do not care how cheesy you may think it is. If you had a beautiful Greek boy fly half way across the world to win your heart, I don't think you'd be complaining.) Anyways, so then they get back together and they are happy for all of like 5 pages and then he has to rush back to Greece for some emergency and then you find out it's because he had to, and I'm not even kidding you, marry this girl he slept with that he got pregnant after the US girl broke up with him and he was so heartbroken that he slept with some girl and now she's pregnant and he's marrying her. And he does. I'm not even kidding. There's no, "Oh, I'm kidding, I'm not pregnant" scene or a "Speak now or forever hold your peace" scene at the wedding. She just goes to Greece to see her dying grandfather and finds out this guy is married because he just couldn't keep it in his pants. And then the book ends. WTF??? Like, not that I don't care about your growth process and getting over him and all but COME ON!!!!! That is so not a good ending.
Now, you might say, well that guy was a slut so I'm glad they broke up. That's the authors fault! He didn't have to be a slut, did he? NO. He could have been a perfectly perfect beautiful foreign boy and everything could have been adorable but noooooooo, apparently depression and getting your heart broken is so much more attractive to the greater teenage audience.
Retarded.
But on a better note, I watched the Swan Princess tonight. He says, "I love you" and marries her in the end. It was a very nice happily-ever-after experience, and then I downloaded "Far Longer than Forever" and put it on my iPod and now I am quite happy. Even thought my loving boyfriend is still halfway across the world and I miss him but whatever. :-) 13 days.
