What I would tell my teenage self: Don’t waste your time pining for this boy or that. You know that old saying that high school romances rarely last beyond high school? So, so true. Wait until you get to college or the working world to worry over guys.

Also, take advantage of your high school classes, cause that shit ain’t free after you graduate. That dance class you were afraid to take in high school because you didn’t want to look like an idiot costs a couple hundred elsewhere.

Actually, at the end, it was video editing stuff I don’t quite understand. So, that is a LITTLE BIT comforting.

Comment on Is domesticity just a little girl’s fantasy? by Kristina Painter Smith

I understood the story a little differently — you stated, “one who seems to “have” the mannequin man and another who jealously observes – while caring for a baby that may be his?” …. I think the girl with the baby is his wife. And I think she had the child she wanted but lost him in the process. Perhaps he isn’t cheating on her with Angela at first, but because the wife is paranoid or worried and pushes him into it, it actually happens, The husband runs off with Angela. … the wife is singing “keep him by my side,” not let him come to my side. And after she’s cleaned the house and is back at her dressing table putting on pearls (to look more like the likely mistress; to look more appealing to her husband) it flashes to a porcelain figurine that looks like a wedding cake topper. Reinforcing that this girl is the housewife not the jealous observer.

But to what it says of society and domesticity? I think it says that marriage may not be what you expect and there may be hardships. Things can go wrong. But I don’t see it as saying it’s a empty fantasy for little girls.

I LOVE that green dress. I wish I could just wear that around like it was a normal thing to do in my life. Shes so flawless when it comes to fashion. I am a complete fashion reject and even I can see how strategic the planning is for her wardrobe.

Comment on Why all the hate on Zooey Deschanel? by Jackie

I totally adore that show. I think her innocence and ditzy personality is what makes her so loveable. Would I want to be her friend in real life? Probably not, but that idea makes for great television. And since when is someone being unrealistic any grounds for not have sucess on a TV show?!
