Yeah, I hope not sporadically.
I read a post on a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend's LJ about the style in the recent season of Veronica Mars (shhh!), and it basically said that everything that I wear is hideous. So I felt inclined to respond vaguely to this insult.

1. My favorite type of music is what could generally be referred to as "indie rock." That, I appreciately for having nice mellow guitars and awesome drums and poetic lyrics. That is not to say that I dislike mainstream music. Not by a long shot! I like rap music and pop music! Even if it is supposed to be oppressing me, because I happen to think that I have high enough self-esteem not to feel blue because a random person who is famous and doesn't even know my name happens to think I'm a ho. I also HATE most of mainstream "alternative" and "pop-punk" bands because their indie rock counterparts are 7164873273x better than they are. Good Charlotte and all the crap it spawned need to shut the fuck up, Z100 needs to stop playing that retardedly annoying Fallout Boy song, and Green Day needs to stop pretending that their first mainsteam album wasn't released when I was in fourth grade.
1a. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are awesome.
2. Why are you so down on the Olsens! Yeah, okay, Mary Kate is anorexic and could be E.T.'s long-lost twin... but ASHLEY! Is so cute. I would steal every item in her closet if I could. The next time you insult big sunglasses and Starbucks, YOU ARE INSULTING ME, MM'K.
3. When I buy Vogue, the last thing I notice is how skinny the model is. Partially because I don't actually care.
4. The only part about US Weekly that bothers me are the dumb headlines they put over the pictures, like "They buy groceries!" and "They walk their dogs!" and "They windowshop!!" Even though those pictures of celebrities doing monotonous, boring, ordinary things are exactly the reason that I bought US Weekly in the first place.
5. I love love love love love Lindsey Lohan and all the trashiest, party-girl goodness that is her red/blonde/redish-brown-haired self.
6. Carrie Bradshaw, a fictional character, had better style than Sarah Jessica Parker. But that could be because I think the elegant-Hollywood look is sort of lame these days.
7. Guys, Tom Cruise's crazy cult and Mel Gibson's unchecked religious fundamentalism is way more scarier and potentially harmful to your child's development than your son seeing a naked woman on TV/the Internet/on a DVD.
8. I get all my news headlines from friends, The Daily Show, or random channel-surfing onto CNN. Perhaps that makes me apathetic.
9. Since the iPod Revolution, all other devices are incredibly lame. JUST GIVE IN TO CONSUMERISM.
10. People who feel oppressed by corporations are dumb and probably not equipped to, you know, live in the 21st Centruy. Again, JUST GIVE IN TO CONSUMERISM. IT IS YOUR FRIEND. I seriously hate the people who petitioned my university and got our soda contract switched to Pepsi just because they said Coca Cola is evil and sponsors military coups or something in South America... um, so what, they'd probably get the funding from the CIA anyway and omg COKE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN PEPSI. Yeah, I'd probably still eat Soylent Green, too!
11. I don't really like Bob Dylan. THERE, I said it.
