I have just taken the plaster off my finger. It looks whiter than the rest of my finger and surprisingly still hurts which is weird because i only cut it on my braces. Which are coming off hopefully on Thursday! I realise this may be a stupid way to start a blog, but watching foreign films makes me believe i don’t actually speak english and so my thoughts get muddled as i try to think in spanish or whatever. This was made worse by the fact in “Lovers of the Arctic Circle” they sometimes speak english so i was like “wow- i don’t need to read the subtitles…oh. oh wait. its english”.
I wish i didn’t speak english. Or maybe just didn’t type in english. When i am blogging or using a computer the use of phrases like “so totally” or “i was like” or really just anything i type sounds weird. I am told a lot that i am very smart. I go to a grammar school. I am the youngest and only girl in my family. My friends are nice people. This means means the only person who insults me is my brother. My brothers weird way of insulting me means i have an irrational fear that other people will also begin to point out i have a face. I have to tell myself that other people have faces, it is not just me. But then doubt sets in and i wonder if everyone is just being polite in not informing me of the deformity. So when you are smart and realise you type like a jackass, you get worried was basically the point of this paragraph.
The summarise the point of this paragraph so you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to: the internet is making me feel insecure. This is because i keep getting emails from facebook giving me my “social status”. I am apparently more desirable than less than 20% of people. Another thing. I quote (well, copy and paste): “Political power! Is a pyramid of how many people trust the people that trust you. And the people that trust them – it goes pretty far. This number also means that if you wanted to send a message or thought to the whole world, these are the people who would accept your message as trustworthy, because they have faith in people who have faith in you. Think of it as your influence and reach.” I come 47th on this list of political power. Also on the “compare people” application, my best ranking is “10th most likely to win in a fight” on facebook. On my bebo my best ranks are better, 4th most trustworthy and generous”.
i am never in the list of hottest or smartest people…i am not sure why this is so upsetting. These lists don’t matter and the people on there are who you would expect to be voted onto these things. But i am in the mood to relish the cliched “why am i not one of those pretty, sporty popular girls? i am nice! i can be funny” etc, to expand on that just watch an american high school chickflick. On the plus side, maybe i’ll have a funny song written about me by a cute yet dorky member of a indie band. Again, see that american high school chickflick. I don’t see why anyone would bother reading this blog, just watch bad movies. All the sentiments are basically the same. Though maybe they don’t spend so much time daydreaming and attempting to do the robot to KC and the Sunshine band and just wishing that they wouldn’t feel so self conscious so for once they could just rock out and head bang to Cherry Pie by Warrant. The guys drumming on cherry pies! Does no one else love this!?
Thought: What happened to the lead singer form Warrant Jani Lane? He is…kinda cute in that video in a american glam metal way. But according to wikipedia he got fat. (weird, weird sentence to type). He apparently went on celebrity fit club 2. How utterly depressing. But wikipedia also says Warrant have gotten back together. Hmm…looking on his new website, he is no longer fat. I guess reality TV has its uses after all…unless it was all faked and the celebs were are just in it to try and restart their careers and were secretly wearing fat suits the whole time. Anyway. He is no longer fit. Damn. But the lady woman in that video married him! Jeez!
Second thought: Wikipedia has so much information it is untrue and i actually spend all my IT classes flicking through stuff. For instance, i know all about the iranian crown jewels (which are awesome) and the biggest jewel heist in american history.
Third Thought: Tom Waits. His music is really like nothing i have heard. Well, his voice. The music is odd, yes, but not so as creepy as his voice. Go check it out. As far as i am concerned, the song “Big in Japan” is weirder(though nowhere weird as he gets, the Rain Dogs album is plain scary) and probably better than the stuff that is big in Japan. Note to Zoë: Melt Banana. Nothing particularly new sounding to me. Odd, but not incredibly original. Plus, the video for Big in Japan has Godzilla in it! We all love Godzilla!
Not really related to any of the above: Doctor Who. It had to be said. Loved this week’s episode! I believe something said in Doctor Who confidential sums it up (something like): “It was the convential Agatha Christie story…but the murderer was a shape shifting alien”. I believe all i can say to that is…lol. Perfect casting for Agatha Christie, well done to David Tennant for the suggestion. Also- loving the random flashbacks and the…the randomness “oh, what are you doing with that lead piping”. murdering you. duh.
