oh the joy pete campbell's pain brings me

if he stopped being such a racist whiny manchild (and stopped cheating on his wife) he could actually be sympathetic

i feel like people severely overestimate the amount of influence these boards have on real life

agreed.

& I was hoping that was going to be a thread full of grumpy old people and would have been an entertaining read.

I read Looking For Alaska a few weeks ago and while it wasn't that bad, it had "HELLO I AM A DEBUT YOUNG ADULT NOVEL" written alll over it.

It had the necessary introspective narrator with a quirky interest, a kindred spirit with whom said narrator waxes philosophical and their first conversation sets up said quirky interest as a metaphor for the plot, ending with a monologue explaining the metaphor for anyone too dumb to not catch it in the first five pages.

(basically if Phinny from A Separate Peace was a manic-depressive pixie dream girl)

but maybe I've just gotten too cynical for YA novels

i hate books like that. overly pretentious main characters and "manic pixie dream girls" no thank you. apparently all his books are like that


also i didn't know Alaska was a person until like last month. i thought they were looking for the state.

also i don't care for john and hank green anyways.

"nerd girls are the world's most underutilized romantic resource" the words i want to say would get me banned.

the whole nerdfighter culture weirds me out a lot.

Josh Peck's Vine is one of the best things I've found this year.

 

[I Am What I Am]

every time there's a change in the Disney parks (see: starbucks addition) there's a thousand posts on here about how "Walt is rolling in his grave" and "Walt would NEVER have approved this!!! How sad must Walt be that they're destroying his vision!!!!"

and like, lol no


Walt Disney was a BUSINESSMAN. if he thought adding a Starbucks to the parks would get him more money, he'd do it. Times (AND SPONSORSHIPS) change and as long as Main Street doesn't end up looking like a strip mall, it'll be okay.

same. they're pretty frightening.

 

[I Am What I Am]

the fandom i hate the most is the sherlock fandom though.
