In Which I Get a Bit Ranty

No self respecting woman likes Zooey Deschanel (as a celebrity anyway, if you know her in real life I'm sure she's wonderful). And yes, you could give me all the nonsense about how if you're truly confident in yourself then you wouldn't compare yourself to others. But quite honestly, if you are a heterosexual female in today's world there is no way you don't hate her at least a little bit.

It's cause she's that quirky indie girl that interesting men find so freakin' attractive that they can't stop fawning over her for enough seconds to take notice of how normal and not insane you are. Because trust me, I've known that girl. I lived with that girl, and it is not all funny anecdotes and cute oversized glasses. It quickly turns into crippling social anxiety with a penchant for clingy-ness. And then you feel guilty because you had to cut her out of your life, but it got messy. So you just end up making everything awkward, which is exactly where it started in the first place.

Being weird and making words like "adorkable" popular can be cute on television. However, in real life it doesn't work like that. Because you are weird. You're only entertaining for so long before people start to notice your crazy eyes. No one likes those. Also, even if you had her personality you are almost assuredly not as attractive as she is.

Her existence is just rude. I don't know if this is how people felt about Marilyn Monroe, or some other such popular woman from the past, but if it is then I feel their pain. I guess there's got to be that woman out there (though for what purpose I know not), but it doesn't mean I don't get to dislike them.

I Don't Get It

There are some things I'll just never get. Like stoner movies. I don't find doing drugs funny. And it's not that I'm severely judging them for doing it (as stupid as it is), I just honestly do not find the humor in it. Yeah, maybe the first time I saw someone high on tv I might've thought it was funny how weird they were acting (can't remember cause who knows when that was). But now, if the joke is based entirely on the hilarity of being high, it is genuinely not funny. Maybe it's a trope that has been overused or maybe it's the fact that I have never experienced it myself. Either way, it's just dumb. It seems like a cheap way to get a laugh.
