#100 Kristy's Worst Idea

Apr 03, 2012 21:56

So since a select few of us are almost done with out Super Secret project, I decided to do a little snark. I was going to do this one, then that Vampire one, but then someone else started the Vampire one... Thus I went back to my original idea! To snark #100 because it's one of the ones I got from Amazon and the cover is metallic. It is... very ( Read more... )

I do think this is hilarious, but I also remember having to read The Lottery in 8th grade advanced lit. Wasn't she in advanced lit?

That'd explain all the homework at least.

*nods* We read The Lottery in my 8th grade gifted class, too.

Yeah, my class actually read it in in seventh grade.

Ugh, Kristy has always slightly pissed me off but what a heinous bitch she is in this one. Good thing Abby is there to even it out.

And what does Kristy have against the whole Mexican festival? Is it just that she didn't come up with it or what? I'm curious since Mexicans are so rarely mentioned in these books. Which is something that always upset me. Though I'm sure AMM would have stereotyped any Mexican character horribly. She'd have a name like Maria (it's always Maria!) and have 'perfect olive skin, masses of dark hair and wear lots of silver jewelry and bright colors'. And Mallory would hate her since we like piercing our babies ears, not making them wait till they're 13.

And I've never understood why wearing a freaking bungee cord as a belt was seen as a good thing. It sounds like something a hobo would do. No wait! I get it Claudia is...Derelicte!

I think it's because SHE'S usually the one planning and running successful festivals, and now Abby's come along and run a festival that went really well and that everyone enjoyed AND raised money for a good cause, AND she did it without being a dictator. That's why Kristy was so obsessed with the FIFFwhatsit, to remind everyone that HER festivals are MUCH more bestest!

... you're right. But yeah, I don't know why Mexicans aren't really mentioned much either - not even in California. Come on. (Of course, her Californians seem to be 90210 Californians...)

aceattorneysho April 4 2012, 15:44:44 UTC

Well all of us Californians have platinum blond hair down to our butts and hang out on the beach 24/7 while always playing the victim! It's, like, the law or something!

...Dawn is not even in this book and I find myself wanting to tell her to shut up.

You did Kristy's Worst Idea! This book is snarktastic.

Kristy and Abby look like they're doing the YMCA dance on the cover.

LA is 3 hours behind Hawai'i
Big nitpick, but you mean "ahead of", not "behind".

I'm Mexican
I always pictured you as Asian because of that icon.

MA says Monday is Labor Day so they should have it off.
*sniggers*

That's right. The Kishis left a BBQ where duck was being served to please Kristin Amanda Kim Jong Il Thomas.
My parents would not hesitate to do that if they didn't like the relatives in question ("Sorry, Braggy McBraggerson, we'd love to listen to you bore us senseless with details about your daughter's wedding and make bitchy comments about our kids, but we need to take our youngest to her cult meeting or she will be stoned in front of all the neighbourhood kids"), but assuming that's not the case here, why the HELL didn't they just leave Claudia at home and go enjoy their barbecued duck?

The art projects create a mess and chaos, leaving MA to clean it all and Claudia leaves without a word.As ( ... )

aceattorneysho April 4 2012, 15:46:24 UTC

I'm sorry about becoming Kristy with the time zones. My rage, you see. Also, I prefer to be on Hawai'i time.

And yeah, the Kishis seemed to like this relative they went to see ON A HOLIDAY FOR A BBQ. Yet everyone left EARLY for Kristy's stupid ass meeting. Jessi's parents are the only smart ones apparently.

ETA: I also look Asian so you weren't wrong. My icon is a pop star, but I've fooled almost every Asian person I know or have come across. So there's that!

Then she says Abby and Anna's bat mitzvah was great and seemed like fun but all that Hebrew! Whew, it is tough being a WASP at a bat mitzvah let her tell you.

Wow, that's pretty bad, Kristy. And actually, in my experience anyway (I've been to some Jewish ceremonies including a Bat Mitzvah) Hebrew is sung and it is lovely. So shut up.

Suddenly everyone brings up dental and doctor appointments they have on club days and Abby says she may be joining the marching band which may go later than 5:30. Kristy's going crazy inside because the club is falling apart due to a few people having medical appointments and maybe wanting to do a different extra curricular.

Kristy is going to get a nasty reality check when she realizes the rest of the world doesn't work like that. Besides, we all know she's going to be the soccer kid in high school who doesn't have time for anything except her 87 sports a year.

aceattorneysho April 4 2012, 15:49:15 UTC

Yeah, the line Kristy said about the Hebrew was sort of that 13-year-old, "Ugh all this WORK!" type of thing, but the way it came off was more, "They're a lovely people, but that language. Oof."

She will also become the sports girl who ditches her friends for her sports friends and then is all, "You just have to accept it. I spend more time with them now. But we can totes go to a movie later, 'kay?" and then never call.

It's funny that you did this one because someone else snarked the book you were going to....because I've been working on this one! haha But knowing how long I take to finish these things, it'll be a while before I'll be posting mine. I don't want to keep reading and get influenced by yours, but it's good and funny, and I can't wait to read the next bit!

aceattorneysho April 4 2012, 15:52:15 UTC

It keeps happening!! It is a curse. But yeah, this book... it has SO MUCH WRONG in it that I think you'll do fine. I skipped over mentioning a few choice lines because I couldn't take it. That and Abby is too on fire for me to give her the spotlight she deserves. I'd be typing up her actually good snark jokes every single page.
