I can't even get past page 25. I tried so hard to read it while on vacation (when I had LITERALLY nothing else to do) and I still found myself staring at the tray table on the seat back in front of me because it was more interesting.
My favorite 4th grade substitute was the dad of one of the guys in Cake ("HAHA WHAT A STUPID NAME FOR A BAND" - us in 4th grade) and he spent the day playing his ukulele and demo tapes for us ("Oh wow, this band is really good" - us in 7th grade when we heard those songs on the radio). Don't mock your substitutes, kids.
The profundity of this comment, combined with the fact that I'm still listening to the bopz, created in me a solid 2 minutes of pure existential angst.
Skins is supposed to be Bristolians having the crazy ass teenage experiences we dreamed of/our parents feared, and it's a brilliant insane soap opera at that. But now MTV is going to ruin it by remaking it because America's too dumb to understand what lorries are.
Tom Lantos used to be my congressman. He served from 1981 until his death 2008. As the only Holocaust survivor to serve in the US Congress, he died after a long life marked with strife, but also political and personal success. He has two daughters, both of whom are married to successful men and have several children. Those son-in-laws names? Timber Dick and Dick Swett.
The BNP scares me more than the KKK. They have seats in European Parliament, and power in lorries all over the UK.
Ugh, why can't a find a picture of Todd Margaret in that BNP shirt?!
Wait wait, where is this? I missed out on this coalition and no one I know cares to listen to me talk about Harry Potter anymore... "So remember in book 4 when he cuts off his hand and then Voldemort gives him another one? A shiny silver one? And you know how in book 3, when he morphed from Scabbers, Harry stops Sirius and Remus from killing him? So then they fight in the last one and Harry is like 'WTF BRO, YOU OWE ME!' and he hesitates for a second, and then his OWN HAND turns on him and CLUTCHES HIS THROAT! Voldemort hand kills him for insolence! And they didn't include it in the movie! Isn't that crazy?"
"You're crazy."
Can I join in the discussion?
Some chick was talking about this when I left the theatre and I was like "Stop ruining the final for people who haven't read the books!"
And then I realized I was yelling at a 14-year-old. (A 14-year-old who lacks common sense and decency.)
