"I'm The Motherfucking Princess"
I remember when a best friend of mine slept with a guy I was seeing...granted we were on a break at the time. Well that's all crap now..and really I don't give the matter much though at all. My best friend then is still my best friend now...and the guy...well...I think he is still alive...
But, I was watching "Veronica Mars" last nite...which, at this point, is the only show I watch on television...(aside from downloaded episodes of the L-Word)...and well, one of the sub-stories saw Veronica's boyfriend sleeping with with a girl who had previously roofied Veronica at a high school (leading to a rape) and then scrawled "slut" on her car. The guy's argument, knowing all this info, they were on a break and the insistance that he "wasn't trying to hurt" her.
The rage filled response from Veronica: "Really? Imagine if you'd tired".
Nice!
It just reminded me of that particular incident in my life, and when faced with "we weren't trying to hurt you" how I wished I had this response. Like really, c'mon?
Sigh...to only have script writers write your dialogue in real life situations.
So, I've been listening to the new Avril song, "Girlfriend" all morning:
I'm fonded of it. It's like a guitar-driven verision of Toni Basil's "Mickey" (I hear the video is even going to have dancing cheerleaders?? And no, not the Nirvana kind), complete with a hand-clap chorus and midsection breakdown. It's pretty lite stuff, with lyrical content like "She's, like, so whatever/ You can do so much better/ I think we should get together.", but goddamn it's fun. And you can dance to it! I even like her phonie affected pronunciations of words here. "In a minute you’ll be wrapped around my fingah. ‘cause I can, I can do it bettah”. Nice to see marriage hasn't...i dunno...matured her or anything. Give it a listen.
