Actual quote, from an actual girl, on my actual bus.

 

I found it amusing to think that such a common stereotype could be difficult to mimic, much more so that these particular little lasses were all into it.

 

Eavesdropping a little more, as you do, it appears that they are going to '... buy some black eyeliner and some black mascara and some black eyeshadow, and have to get another headband that ISN'T PINK'.

 

Great sweetie. Because ludicrously dark eye makeup and non-pink accessories will TOTALLY make you EMO.

 

To tell you the truth, I am sick to death of that whole concept. It seems like the buzz word for 2006, and everyone is either 'Emo is GREAT! mcr ARE THE BEST!' or they're all 'OMG I HATE EMO, I hope they all die!'.

 

Please, please, PLEASE, find another stereotype.

Is it really that compelling?

 

Apparently so, because these days anything different is suddenly 'emo'. For example, the sport carnival was today, and being the totally team spirited person I am (cough cough) I went sporting a large orange mohawk and some fishnets. Because I'm cool. And according to some little lads this makes me 'emo'.

At the same time, the kids wearing mostly black and sitting listening to their ipods under the trees were ALSO 'emo'.

As well as the girl who dyed her hair black.

And the guy wearing the tight t-shirt.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

 

At least the year is more then halfway over. Hopfully next year will bring a less annoying trend. Althoug judging by the state of things, it seems doubtful.

Teenage girls are possiblt the most fickle, bitchy creatures on the planet.

But so what else is new.

 

Anyway.

 

Sitting through photography, I had the enlightening experience of listening to some of the other girls gossiping about this and that. And as they talked, I became aware of just how many people they supposedly 'hate'. They hate this girl because she's dating someone's ex. They hate this girl because she's a slut. They hate this girl because she dreses like a tryhard. They hate this girl because she's apparently pregnant. (I mean lyk, omg, she has the biggest pot belly, and she was touching it at recess. Yeah kids, she's OBVIOUSLY preggers).

 

I mentioned that they seem to hate a lot of people, and was then told that 'Oh, it's just because you don't hate anyone. You're way too nice'

 

Now it could just be me, but I find it amazing how easily these girls will form an opinion of someone they barely know. They hear or see something, and all of a sudden they 'hate' this girl.

 

As far as I know, I'm not terribly 'nice'. Civil, yes. I try, anyway. And as far as I know, I don't actually 'hate' anyone. Dislike intensely, naturally, but not 'hate'. Perhaps these kids just don't understand the severity of words like that. It's a bit like two day old couples going 'I LOVE you' 'No. I LOVE you'.

 

Words like hate and love aren't ones to throw around, and I just found it interesting that 15/16 year old girls seem to hate everyone. It's not healthy.

 

I think I've lost my point, but you get the idea.

 

Have fun kids.

Eeeeeewwww.

 

Spring Dance is imminent, and the girlies are all aflutter. And of course, the question on everybodys lips is 'Who are you going WITH?'

 

And I'm wondering. Is it that important to go WITH someone? How impossible is it for people to just go by themselves, or with friends, as opposed to with some member of the opposite sex to hang off of all night? Silly people.

 

This is exactly like when people go out just for the sake of having a boyfriend or girlfriend. Seriously kids, what is the point of dating someone that you don't genuinely like in the first place? It's a waste of time and effort on everyone's part. Why not just wait until someone decent comes along, as opposed to doing it 'cause it's COOL.

 

Idiots.

 

Yeah, rant over. Tally ho kids. xox

 

Chatrooms. Possibly the most entertaining thing on the internet. Some people may disagree with me, but they are most likely the people who look at porn.

 

Anyway. Is it just me, or is every girl in these rooms fourteen or under a) GOTH or b) HoT N SinGLe LoL?

Maybe not every, but certainly the mojority.

 

And whenever you point out that their GOTHness is contradicted by pink text, you're either a)a loser b) a dickhead c) a slut/skank/ho or d) all of the above. AND you totally don't understand that their dog just died and their Mum won't let them get a totally cool nose ring and they're ugly and fat and omgzzzz they like to cut themselves. LIfe is HARD.

 

And when the HaWt SinGLe ones try to crack onto you and you tell them you're a girl, somehow that makes YOU the 'OmG LeZbiAn!11!!1!'

 

And you know what's great? When people, online, in a chatroom, ask 'R u HoT?'

 

Yes, I'm a drop dead gorgeous babe who happens to be single and looking for love via trashy chatrooms as opposed to going out and having a life like all the OTHER supermodels. It's your lucky day grandad, take me now.

 

Ah, it feels good to blog again. I know you missed me. All three of you. =)
