Fallen Idols

[Svenskaflicka]

I gotta stop watching sitcoms. I get too emotionally involved in them, and they just disappoint me.

First, Sabrina dumped the hansome, sweet, sexy Dashiell for the ugly loser Harvey.
Second, Rachel turns down cute Joey for egoistic, ugly, immature Ross.
Third, Miranda dumps sexy, sweet, hansome Blair Underwood for ugly, stupid, ugly, immature, ugly loser Steve - a lazy bartender with only one testicle!

And now, fourth - silly little Rory tells cute, clever, sexy Jess to take a hike, and instead fucks ugly, stupid, MARRIED loser Dean!

Do we see a trend here? No matter how cute, clever, sweet and nice these guys are, the girls always dump them for stupid, ugly, selfish men. The dumped guys are in two cases black, the other 2 Italian, ie Latino. The guys chosen instead are in 4 out of 4 cases - white.

It's racism, I tell you!

Are YOU disappointed with any soap opera ciuple? (No reality show couples, please! We're talking script-based TV here.)

You shouldn't be watching them.

You should be writing NaNoWriMo, then this sort of thing wouldn't affect you.

My life is divided between writing NaNo and working on mum's birthday present. I'm thinking of calling a friend and have her write down the story as I dictate it, so that I can have my hands free for embroidering. It's either that or quickly learning how to write with my feet.

Put him in your NaNo novel, Swede, and knock off the lone testicle. P.

You could be the modern day Barbara Cartland.

(Except you can write. )

Loulou, do you know that Cartland is still publishing, beyond the grave? I read that she left a couple hundred 'novels' and they're being released, monthly I think. Yeah, life's not fair. P.

Yeah, I saw that on the news the other day. Piles and piles of manuscripts somebody found in a cupboard. I feel so sorry for the poor typist. Imagine listening to that lot and transcribing it!

Oh well, however mad it seems, loads of people will buy them.

Well, it's actually quite easy for Barbara Cartland. She just wrote ONE story, and then she sold it 900 times by changing the names and locations. The story is exactly the same.
The real talent that woman had was to be able to fool people into buying the same book 900 times.

I wonder what Cartland's hair looks like now. P.

Bahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!

Better than when she was alive?

Oh, we so cruel!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

She was ever ALIVE???

 

[Guest]

Loulou, you must come see me, I just realized how wonderful it'd be to hear you larf in person. P.

LOL!!!

Awww!

I'd really love to, would be great to meet you. I'll do my bestest.

Barbara Cartland led a busy, industrious life when she was not writing stuff.

My youngest sister went through a phase when she read her stuff. I once donated money to a local library with the stipulation that not a penny of it go towards Barbara Cartland novels.

I would assume the first one is Sabrina the witch. Harvey is a really nice guy who has always been very supportive of Sabrina. He is a long-time friend and is aware of her witchy nature. I am not familar with Dashiell.

Rachel is clever enough to know that Joey is dumb as a doorknob and strictly a loser. Whatever Ross's faults, he is an educated professional who will amount to something.

I'm not familiar with the other two stories referenced.

Miranda's Sex and the City bartender was the father of her baby, and she had had feelings for him for a while, although she didn't want to admit it.

Rory, one of the Gilmore Girls, couldn't stop herself from going to Dean - he had been her first love. Jess was far more interesting, but he's the bad boy, nothin' but trouble.

Sounds all too well like what happens in real life too.

Great, would not have thought of that. P.

But he also shared Rory's passion for reading - the boy brought a book to a strip club, and READ IT, dammit! That loser Dean - can he even read???


Edited to add: Dean's a pussy!

No argument from me - I agree. He's her hero, though, always coming to her rescue. Girls like that.

At least his wife threw him out afterwards. That was fun.

I liked Buffy and Angel and Buffy and Spike - I sort of wanted an eternal threesome thing to happen...with Riley thrown in as the fourth on special holidays.
