here we are!!! up earlyy. well, it IS sunday.

*crickets chirping*

As if I didn’t dislike Lansky enough… AAAAAaaaa I hated that whole part about wanting to be on welfare. “I don’t work, recognize.” Well, GTFO (Barrett speak for get the fuck out) lazy ass. I liked his mother’s comment “how dare you, that money is for poor people. If you want money, go get a job.” Then when she dissed him “Are you going for disability too?” ha ha ha

So Bart gets off to Japanese cartoons. Big whoop. Interesting that regular porn didn’t really do it for him.

Mike calling Lansky a nigger and porch monkey seemed totally unnecessary. I don’t really know what the point was except to cause a bitter taste in my mouth and make me want to stop reading.

Again Lansky dreams about living in the projects collecting more and more welfare money for all his kids. Then he says he’d get a tripped out Cadillac with his welfare money. WTF? I wonder if someone like that were put into the projects just for a week how it would change him. Would it make him grateful or is it really where he’d want to be. I’m guessing that because he’s had no actual life experience with any of it that just a single dose would be enough to scare him straight. Homeless people are not glamorous. Eating garbage is not cool.

Sick of The Movement being a race and a religion… a nationality. Boring boring boring, changing their names and stuff. SO (that’s just the letters “S” and “O” it means so LOL!)

“He was more the outcast than ever before and it never felt better.” *rolls eyes* Bart daydreams about removing the American flag and giving speeches and appearing on talk shows… blah blah blah

eeeeerrr *brakes screething* “maybe he was the son of God, he considered.” Once again, cuckoo!

Ah a ray of light, Meghan. “I didn’t choose to be (shy). I kept getting moved around in elementary school and every year I’d get stuck in a class full of people I didn’t know. I had everyone telling me I was shy and I started believing it. That wasn’t me.”

Ha ha “I’m with People for the Edible Treatment of Animals” cheeky.

And o la la finally some mashing (making out with food in your mouth) for Meghan and Jon! In your face Tolley-mew! And ha ha Brit and Tiff wanted to go out with him too. “We should have thought of it first. I would have sex with him!” Hmmm not really all that dedicated to The Movement, are they?

Another scene at Burger King “In the back of my mind, I always thought our revolution could turn violent, I just didn’t think it would happen this soon. This town can’t stand what we are about.” Oh I just don’t even want to bother saying how much of an extreme exaggeration this is. Cue Lansky dreaming about being locked in a jail cell. *rolls eyes, turns page*

I agreed with Bart’s mom’s comments here:

Bart: Well my music is personal, it’s about how I feel. They put my thoughts into words for me, that’s what makes it so emotional. (Is it possible to put someone else’s thoughts into words? Don’t the words have to be the thoughts of the person speaking them?)

Mom: Our music was more aobut a collective self-discovery, a sort of spiritual growth. But it’s kind of all the same, you’ll get tired of it when you grow up.

Bart: Grow up? I’m proud of who I am. I’m not going to change. I’m passionate. That would be selling out.

Mom: If you’re not going to change, you’re not going to grow.

And I liked her comment: “It’s easy to keep a vow of chastity when you’re single… that’s called being single.” Ha ha it’s very true! Like giving up crack for lent when you’ve never used crack.

And a little more humor with the “how to do laundry” conversation being confused for racism.

*sigh* “He stepped back, feeling the counter behind him and deflated to the floor, his hand raising up through his hair, squeezing to help his mind with the conundrum he was now facing” the water was bottled in NJ. *rolls eyes AGAIN!*

You know, I wonder if the author intended for us to like these characters or not? What do you think?

I'm ready to pack it in.
