Not a day goes by where there isn't something that just causes me a moments pause and leaves me baffled and flabbergasted(word of the day calendar). So, if someone could help a girl out and aid me in understanding my daily quandaries, it would be much appreciated.
1. How is Kristen Stewart still around
Seriously, I don't understand this at all. How does she remotely still have a career. Nay- how does she even have a career? She is quite possibly the worst actress I have ever witnessed(and I've seen drunk friends try to put on a production of Cats). You can't even say that, "Oh Twilight was just a bad movie." NO. She has no talent whatsoever. I've seen Robert Pattinson act in other movies and he's not terrible(granted, no Oscar in his future, but whatever). So it can't all be Twilight's fault. Just please, someone explain to me how she is still getting any acting jobs.
2. How does Leo DiCaprio not have an Oscar
Poor, poor Leo. He is probably the greatest actor that has ever graced the big screen and yet EVERY TIME he gets nominated for an Oscar he gets jipped.
I mean, come on, he played a mentally challenged child at 14 and did so amazing that people were shocked to find out that he wasn't mentally handicapped at the What's Eating Gilbert Grape premiere. COME ON ACADEMY!
And he's just gotten more talented since then. Heck, every time I see him in a movie I practically forget he's Leonardo DiCaprio and actually believe he's whatever character he's currently portraying.
This is literally one of the greatest mysteries of life.
Leo finally winning an Oscar:
3. Why do people think they shouldn't get offended
Now, let me make this clear, I'm not advocating that people should just start bashing each other all the time and never take people's feelings into consideration, but why does it seem that everyone is getting all sensitive? Like, one semi-rude comment and people flip their lid. Or worse- people think that if someone doesn't think the same way they do it's wrong/rude/stupid/etc. Now, I'm not perfect, obviously I've had my moments of maybe thinking that way(as many of my friends can probably attest) but at the end of the day I do try(try being the keyword) to remind myself that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and it's OK, even great, that we're not all carbon-copies of each other. Let's be honest, the world would be pretty boring if we all thought the same way.
4. Selfies
Just, why? Now, a selfie here-and-there is ok, especially when you're maybe in need of a new profile picture, but how is it that everyday I hop onto Facebook or Instagram and all I see are the same people who must sit in their rooms and just take pictures of themselves? Literally, just of their faces. All the time. Everyday. I bet a lot of you don't even realize that I've blocked some of you because I was so sick of seeing your face pop up on my newsfeed. I don't think your face has changed that much in the last 24 hours. I didn't forget what you look like. So please, just stop.
The two thoughts that enter my head when I notice you are one of those people is that you either are:
(A) One of the most insecure people on the planet and need validation from others for your existence(in which case, I'm so sorry you feel that way, really. No sarcasm).
or worse
(B) You are one of the most self-involved people on the planet. Don't get me wrong, I'm an attention whore too(why do you think I started this blog) but I really try to make my blog, Facebook statuses, etc. funny so that way I'm maybe contributing to society in some way. I love making people laugh. ANYWAY- what are the 20 pictures of your face doing to help my life in any way? They're not.
5. The Duck Face.
I'm not the first to complain about this, and I'm certainly not the last. There are pictures ALL over the internet of people making fun of girls who make the "Duck Face" and yet, I kid-you-not, there are still girls(ages 20+) on my newsfeed and Instagram who are making duck faces. And not ironically. And how do you know if a girl is making a Duck Face ironically? If a girl posts a picture with another friend and they make the Duck Face and there aren't any other traces of Duck Faces on her account- then they were doing it ironically. However, if there are solo pictures, pictures with friends, cats, statues, vegetables, and more while she's making the Duck Face....she's not doing it ironically.
GIRLS- STOP MAKING THE DUCK FACE! IT'S NOT CUTE.
STTAAAHHHPPPP
6. Why do people think Facebook is their diary
It never fails that anytime I log onto Facebook I will inevitably see at least one person complaining about their life. And, more likely than not, they will be INCREDIBLY vague about their problem and then when someone comments on their status asking what happened they'll respond, "It's none of your business," or "I don't want to talk about it."
WHY WOULD YOU POST A STATUS ABOUT IT THEN? YOU'RE JUST ASKING FOR ATTENTION.
See, people need to realize:
People go on Facebook to be entertained, to judge, and to creep. I'm not saying it's right, but let's just call it like it is. That's why I seriously will only post something if I think it's funny and think it will entertain others, because I know that when I log-on all I want to do is laugh. (and I like getting the 'likes'. I ain't even gunna lie. And whoever says they don't get some sort of validation from people liking their status is a dirty liar.)
7. Why do people deny getting scared when they go see scary movies
I'm just as guilty about doing this as anyone else. I actually talked about it with my roomie just the other day. We were watching a scary movie a few nights ago and that went into a conversation about the scariest movies we've seen and so on. And that's when I came to the realization that people will go to scary movies, and then when they get scared- by screaming, jumping, jerking, etc.- they(we) try to deny to those around us that we got scared. Why though? I deliberately go to see scary movies because I love getting scared and always look forward to actually getting a reaction out of a scary movie(since I don't usually scare too easily since I've see so many scary movies.) But then when I'm in said scary movie and jump a little at certain parts I always try to play it off as if I didn't really just get frightened. WHY DO I DO THAT? I'M GETTING THE REACTION I WANT FROM THE MOVIE AND I'M TRYING TO DENY IT!
I don't get it.
