my-so-called blog

i had a really rough day today and to get my climbing-towards-a-migraine mind off of the bullshit, i decided to watch my my-so-called life dvd. there are a few things i just needed to say about watching this as a 30 year old.

1. i am so fucking depressed that its been 15 years since that show has been on the air.

2. i am also so fucking depressed that i am identifying with the (godawful, stick-up-the-ass) parents.

3. clare danes was straight scary looking in the pilot episode. real white and eyebrowless.

4. rayanne was NOT really as cool as we thought when we were 15. (this is the mother in me coming out).

5. even though i love my mother and she was never like patti chase...no wait, she absolutely WAS patti chase. everything about her. her hating any new, cool friends. stating they were RUDE when they clearly were just kids. i adore my mother. i really do. but in high school, this was her.

6. i would have ditched sharon as a friend too. she was awful.

7. jordan catalano was a complete fucktard. when angela goes in the room at that party and he's there watching "i touch myself" he looks at her, and looks away. without saying anything. fuuuuuuuuuck you. that is absolutely unacceptable. and then, he only talks to her--hell, suddenly knows her NAME--only when she is put in a cop car. fuck you jordan catalano. you are a fucktard.

8. and the leaning thing?! it's like he has a stroke every once in awhile. not cool. weird.

9. brian krackow. why?

10. then the scene at the rave when everything happens...them switching shoes, "with your hair like that it hurts to look at you", her finding her dad cheating, her crying on her mom and falling asleep...this episode was the best show that has ever, ever hit the airwaves. it is DESPICABLE to be that it was taken off the air.

11. i hate that the youth of america doesn't KNOW this kind of sincerity, reality, beauty. they know the motherfucking HILLS and THE OC and other inane, mindnumbing bullshit. it's disgusting.

1990 called. they want their teen angst back. wait, they just called again. they want their joke back. hahah.
