Missed pop culture references in Ted

The part where Mila's character was remembering the first time they met at the club in 2008, and mark's character said "Chris Brown can do no wrong". I was the only one who laughed in the theater at that. That movie was not funny at all, or maybe I'm just depressed? But I was with a cute boy. Go me!

also black people are loud on purpose.

"also black people are loud on purpose."

was this a joke in the movie? or your own anthropological insight?

I am not sure what's happening, but white dudes have been interested in me, the same night i ended up going to the guys house for bbq and beer pong, and the next day he told me that his roomate wanted to have sex with me. If i would have stayed longer i would have been banged.

Thanks, Nutty Madam! I instantly feel so much better about my life and all my problems.

ugh, I hate my mom. She knows him and doesn't like him at all. Fucking cunt.

plath didn't really like her mom either. (although she did leave explicit instructions to not release certain materials until after her mom passed away as to not offend her. which were then later ignored by her publishing company apparently). she did disagree with her on a number of issues while she was alive though.

anyway, the parallels are striking. have you thought about writing poetry?

lena and her mom are bff.

tell us more about this young man. have you smooched? did you play beer pong? does he work with you?

mandee

Friday, July 27, 2012 at 4:07 PM

Who the fuck is plath?

no, yes, yes.

and I'm actually not bad at beer pong. He wants to have sex with me. This is the same dude I've been talking about. I know you're confused by now.

ok I just read Plath's bio. Don't see any similarities at all. I think depressed is an exaggeration. My biggest issue is being frustrated at not getting what I want easily which drives me into a depression. I have this huge, beautiful mural painted in my head of what my life is supposed to look like, and I can't seem to finish painting it into a reality (that's deep). Also my mom is being her usual pessimistic self, which is blocking me from turning my dreams into a reality.

I don't see any connection between Lena and Plath at all.

Friday, July 27, 2012 at 7:27 PM

They both share an obsession for their vaginas.

i thought EVERYbody shared an obsession for Lena's vagina

"I don't see any connection between Lena and Plath at all."

-complaints about her hometown and locals
-overwrought fixation on sex and virginity
-doesn't like her mother
-diabolical mean streak
-shocking (almost unbelievable) naiveté w.r.t. adult relationships
-user of multiple names

my literary doppelganger is probably william styron (you probably thought i was going to say someone like ralph ellison). zt would be hunter s thompson.
acm, you're lesley arfin.

"lena and her mom are bff"

it's complicated?

he sounds like a delight

Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 8:14 AM

no, it's not complicated. lena is 26(?) and has lived with her mom all her life. i think anyone in her position would be fighting with their mom. that's a long ass time.

but she talks to her mom about everything. they're the assyrian gilmore girls.

also lena is really immature. it seems like she's going through normal teenage girl stuff now, which includes the uuuggghhh i h8 u mom phase.

where you born in Louisville?

like i said, plath cared enough about her mom to have the desire to keep certain things private until her mom passed (her mom ended up outliving her anyway).
"doesn't like her mom" is more a tongue-in-cheek way of saying just because someone is your confidante doesn't mean the relationship isn't strained.

and then, living with someone until you're 26 (or whatever) and calling them the c-word is certainly unfamiliar to me.

Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 12:15 PM

It's cool, I don't spend time with my family or anything. I don't even go out or do anything with them anymore. We're like roommates that hate each other.

Googling Lesley Arfin. Please hold...

Yeah, okay. She doesn't write fiction, but I can see where we are alike.

It looks like we're both brutally honest and insecure. Sometimes I think back on things I've posted here and I just cringe. OMG...why did I share that?

Other times I look back on some of my earlier posts. Good Lord! I was really angry back then!

But I know others (ZT, Mandee, Masteel...) have posted a great deal of personal info. So, I feel a little better knowing that.
