So I skipped out on Monsieur Aoki and stayed at home instead, largely due to my visual impairment (cornea issue) and the lack of financial budget for my drinking habit. Of course, not before feeling extremely disgusted with myself for pining to the point of tears over not being able to go (how trivial) and pathetically whining to several of the unfortunate people I have on my msn list (sorry). However, my evening took a turn for the better when D decided to impose a club-night ban on himself and accompany me in my misery; why yes, how thoughtful of him. So 5 teen movies later (and we’re well away on our sixth one), I am feeling infinitely more pleased with myself. Yup, classic signs of a chick-flick comatose, an inexplicable urge to create literary substitutes for word ‘cool’, over-excessive usages of the word ‘like’ and ‘oh my god’, along with an unnerving burning sensation in my left temple – fuck, i fear my i.q might have dipped 15 points.
Heck, the truth of the matter is, I freaking love ‘women’s pictures’. Sure, they’re frivolous and predictable but you can’t deny how deliriously entertaining some of them are. Anyway, I’ve provided you my dear reader with a list of my favorite high-school movies even more ‘awww’ than cuddly woodland critters. Nah, they’re not in any particular order.
Never Been Kissed (1999)
Drew Barrymore & Michael Vartan
“That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.”
Sixteen Candles (1984)
Molly Ringwald & John Cusack Michael Schoeffling
“I can’t believe this. They fucking forgot my birthday.” Oh yeah, I can totally relate to that.
Mean Girls (2004)
Lindsay Lohan & Jonathan Bennett
“At your age, you’re going to have a lot of urges. You’re going to want to take off your clothes, and touch each other. But if you do touch each other, you *will* get chlamydia… and die.”
Clueless (1995)
Alicia Silverstone & Paul Rudd
Tai: Cher, you’re a virgin?
Cher: You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Dionne: Besides, the PC term is ‘Hymenally Challenged’.
Say Anything… (1989)
John Cusack is obnoxious love

It seems like I do too many bad things in life to keep track of so whenever something indubitably horrible happens to me I blame it entirely on karma.
This weekend I lost 150 bucks. I do stupid things on a constant basis so I can’t exactly rule out leaving it in the cab but I’m disgustingly sure that someone ripped me off. Whatever I did, A hundred and fifty fucking dollars? I seem to have incurred the hell out of some wrath of a god.
FUCK. I deserved this somehow. I don’t know if it’s making me feel any better or worse not knowing what the hell went wrong. I just hope whoever found the money needed it more than Steve Aoki did.
