Requesting an intervention
Dear LJ,
Today in my English class we read an article about the Kitty Genovese slaying for some reason. As soon as my teacher announced what we'd be doing, (without naming the case,) I said rather loudly "*COUGHCOUGH* KITTY GENOVESE AMIRITE?" The sad thing is the first time I even heard of the case was in Watchmen, (which is wierd because since the first time I read it about 4 years ago I hear references to it a lot.) Well that's not the sad part.
The sad part is that afterwards we were shown a video of an incident where this fucking 70 year old guy was hit by a car in the middle of the day, in front of at least 7 witnesses, and it took ridiculously fucking long for anyone to help him, (at least he lived apparently.) We were told to write an article detailing the incident with at least 3 quotes involved, etc. The quotes were to be made up. Do you know what I named the old man? I named him Walter Kovacs. WHY? Because I was like "lol omg irony or something lololol?"
So, okay. One fandom related reference in an English assignment. Not to annoying fanish. BUT WAIT. We had to have a police quote. My quote... Was from the police commissioner of the city. A police commissioner named James Gordon. See a pattern?
I did this shit the whole article, that's how bored I was. Something's wrong with me. If Winbigler notices I will give him 5 dollars and a bro five.
Love, Por
P.S. Tomorrow's my birthday, and also it's almost free comic book day I am SUPER FUCKING PSYCHED. Free stuff and comics yes please.
