Hello!
Welcome.
I don’t think anyone reads this blog.
But I’m quarantined. I have nothing to do. So I might as well write something and put it on the internet so when I’m older I can find it and cringe a little.
(By the way, if this is a college admissions officer/FBI Agent/Future Employer reading this, this is just for a fun activity. I’m a very responsible person! This is just a reflection of my rambling thoughts that can be put aside when it comes down to business!) Here are a few of my weird rambles on equally as random topics.
Fonts: When I was younger, I loved using all those different thoughts that Google Docs has to offer. My classmates and I would scroll through fonts to find the one that perfectly matched the vibe of our personal narrative. I disliked writing those by the way, because I a) could never remember enough details b) got a lot of shade from my teachers for not knowing how to use “show not tell.” (For the college admissions officer, I swear this has changed. That was in elementary school. I’m a different person now, I swear. I can even spell the word because.) I used the weird fonts. Like the really weird ones, with names like Pinyon Script. But I usually ended up falling back on the trusty Chewy. Oh Chewy. The preferred font of my elementary school days. Now however, as a ninth grader at [redacted] High School, I can only type in 11 pt. Times New Roman. Yes, 11 pt. I don’t know why, but 12 pt. seems too big. Obviously I size up for assignments. I’ll be honest though, it surprised me how many people turn in 5 page papers in Arial. Arial! It’s a terrible font! It’s so boring and not aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. Basically, Arial should not be the default font. It should be Times New Roman, and 9th graders should know to use it on papers. (Once someone genuinely turned in a paper in Comic Sans. Which, power move, but unprofessional.)
Legally Blonde: Watch the movie. Watch the sequel. Listen to the musical. Watch the musical proshot. Do it! What, like it’s hard? Ok, that was a blatantly obvious and very cheesy reference that I may or may not have structured that introduction around. Fine, I 100% did. But I digress. The Legally Blonde Franchise is fantastic. I can’t speak for Legally Blondes, but all I’ve seen has been really good. Elle Woods is just such a good protagonist. She’s hilarious, smart, fashionable, and kind. There are so many *chefs kiss* one liners from the musical and movie. Emmet Forrest (I’m using the musical names because I can’t be bothered to look up the movie ones) (Actually hold on I looked up Emmets last name and in the movie it’s Richmond which… disappointing? Because then you have Woods and Forrest and that’s just so cute) is such an unproblematic love interest. They become friends first, and establish that trust and have actually interesting chemistry before they start dating. I think when I started writing this segment I had something specific to say about Legally Blonde, but I needed up just talking about how much I love it. Which is fine, because frankly I’m happy to continue. Some other things I love compiled into a list: (this is based off the Pro-Shot of the musical)
- the fireman’s pole in the middle of the Delta Nu house
- The scene right before Margot/Serena/Pilar go up to see Elle after she gets dumped. It’s just really funny.
- During/After the Positive dance in the Harvard Offices, you can see how much everyone is breathing and I just have so much respect for the actors.
- Also during Positive you can see Margot posed a bit… friskily with one of the admissions officers.
- “Bruisers not a dog. Bruiser is family.” And the way Laura Bell Bundy delivers that line.
- Callahan isn’t a good person, but Blood in the Water is such a good song. The actor is insanely talented.
- The Harvard Variations gang. I love and respect them all in their own special ways.
- Paulette. Bonafonte. Rufus. Kyle. Enough said.
- The way the other worker in the hair salon looks when Paulette turns on Celtic Moods.
- Gloria Steinem circa 1963.
- The Delta Nu girl that switches the calandre during “Chip on My Shoulder.”
- Chip on My Shoulder in general because it’s an awesome song.
- I just have immense respect for anyone that does Whipped into Shape. Literally insane. Brooke just has to be in so much shape to do that number. I can’t even imagine.
- The scene where Brooke and Elle talk alone, especially “I’ll double Delta Nu Sister Swear.” “Oh you’re hardcore.”
- Emmet going in for the kiss and Elle going in for a hug but you can tell that Emmet is ok with it any other way.
- Nikos and Carlos doing this weird tango thing.
- “I do not bond.” The high note. So fun.
- Nikos and Carlos showing up in matching white outfits.
- Aaron Schultz driving the golf cart (I think.)
- Vivienne's character arc. We stan women supporting women.
- The Irish Dancing. Kyle executing some moves and Paulette sort of just walking around the stage a little confused then shaking her head giving up.
- The Scene of the Crime song.
- How horrified Enid is when they show that perm.
- Vivienne dumped you didn’t she.
- The way they sing “And now I’ve found my love” because it mixes their voices and the background and I don’t know it’s just really impressive dude.
Cereal: My final note. The milk goes before the cereal. Do I need to repeat it because your mind is so blown? Ok, I will. The milk goes before the cereal. The milk. Goes. Before. The. Cereal.
