The funniest diary entry I wrote as a freshman in high school was shortly after my friend from health class broke up with her boyfriend of like a year (so a very serious relationship for being that age), she was talking one day at lunch about how she wants to get a new boyfriend.
And she and our other friend were like "Well, who's cute?" And us all having been in the same health class (which had just ended, thos was early in the second semester) they brought up the name of this sophomore I sat next to. And he and I had a kind of... teenage social anxiety romance. We both clearly thought each other to be cute because we'd chat and smile and giggle while saying absolutely nothing, but we were so shy. But anyway since I had never had a boyfriend or felt I'd experienced even a mutual crush before, this was a very big deal to me.
But they brought him up first of ALL names, and I felt VIOLATED. My turf was being walked on. She didn't know I liked him I'm sure. But the two most iconic sentences from this day in my diary are:
"But damn. I thought I was actually almost sort of close to having a chance with him maybe. Damn."
"Come on, Hannah, I mean... you just had a boyfriend."
both the ending of TGWDLM and Black Friday rely on us trusting that this newcomer who hasn't sung yet in the whole show can sing really fucking good. And then it works because they do
when someone has a crush on me but doesn’t tell me that’s very mean and hurtful becaus well I would like to know. it would make me feel cute and silly and I would kick my feet in bed about it. uhm but when I have a crush I would rather die than share that information. apologies.
Just sitting here thinking about how the surprise song section is the new version of the arm lyrics and what a flex it is that she now has enough music to give us real time insight into her emotional state using only her own words and not other people’s.
me watching the good omens fandom have fun over their trailer and genuine hype and excitement for their new season that they're Actually Looking Forward To and genuinely saying "I'm so excited! I can't WAIT! it looks so good!" about instead of "aghhhh [insert costume/hair thing or whatever] is so bad" and "shame this is my last season I'm watching :/" and more dread than actual excitement and when there's a bit where a character has a bad/weird haircut everyone laughs and makes lightheaded jokes and art in good fun instead of screaming and crying to the point where almost the entire character's tag is people acting like it's the worst thing to ever grace a screen
