so if you haven’t already watched gilmore girls, the main characters are lorelai (mother) and rory (daughter).  lorelai’s mother emily gilmore is played by the woman who played baby’s mom in dirty dancing.

i just picked up on a funny little tidbit while watching season 5, episode 13.  emily is over at lorelai’s house for her bachelorette party, and she’s telling a story about how she had to pull strings to book a very specific room somewhere for her wedding vow renewal ceremony.  she wanted “the rose room” and is telling the story about how “the sheldrake’s” had already booked it.  i just realized the sheldrake is the other hotel that’s in dirty dancing, lol.  the one where she and johnny go to secretly dance, where they see the old couple robbing people.

i just got an email from a disgruntled reader of the old URC blog via comment… and lolololol!

i disabled the blog when the pandemic started bc i wasn’t doing events and i wasn’t updating it all that often (in shocking news).  anyways, the post was about how much i loathe the lame influencer terms the internet and IG has given us like “mermaid hair”, and was also about how annoying, try-hard poser/”edgy” goons that dye their hair punk colours are.

actually, tbh, it was more complaining about the term mermaid hair more than just straight up bashing people left right and sideways.  mermaids don’t actually have fun coloured hair.  in fact, MERMAIDS AREN’T REAL.  that’s besides the point.  any movies i’ve ever seen with mermaids, mermaids on tv, mermaids in cartoons, in books, etc. all have natural hair colours.  do a google image search!  all the images aside from corny/modern day influencers is all normal hair colours.

anyways, i made someone mad (wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!)… here’s the hysterical/defensive comment i received on it (IN ALL CAPS!):

“SPEAKING OUT THIS WAY FOR A SUBCULTURE BUILT ON NOT CARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK SEEMS VERY HYPOCRITICAL. IT’S JUST A TERM TO DESCRIBE A CERTAIN COLOR METHOD WHICH MANY PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DYE THEIR HAIR WEIRD COLORS TRY. PUNK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO USE UNNATURAL HAIR COLORS AND CALLING YOURSELF A PUNK/ THINKING YOU’RE A BADASS WON’T SAVE YOU FROM REALITY. POSERS ARE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO THINK AND BELITTLE PEOPLE FOR THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS.”

***

first off, mermaid hair is not a method – it’s an umbrella term and hashtag that colorists use to spread a specific coloring trend, so her argument is absolutely stupid.  secondly, my post was simply pointing out that a) mermaids do not have rainbow hair and b) a street punk gal with a pink chelsea cut probably can’t and wouldn’t want to socially relate to a chick that uses a damn curling iron on her new, blown out, healthy pastel pink and lavender hair.

hey, you know what… maybe i’m wrong, maybe crust punks would love to socialize with girls that primarily shop at zara and listen to tay swift, wtf do i know?

anyways, ignoring the poor, angry grammar displayed there, all i can really conclude FROM THIS VERY ANGRY AND DEFENSIVE COMMENT is that either this person does hair (“fashun hurr”) or is one of the basic betches that likes to dye their hair “fashion colours” and doesn’t apply to an alternative subculture.

i didn’t bother approving it bc my blog is disabled, but i just don’t have the patience to go back and forth with online, butt-hurt goons via email.  i do have this person’s IP address/location (in good ol north carolina)… maybe i’ll just block her.  the less morons, the better.

regarding her comment whining about a subculture built on not caring what other people think:  i hate to break it to her, but punk is dead.  it’s been dead… and by the time it got to me coming up with it in the early 90s, it was dead and buried and hanging on in some weird ghost shell of itself.  alls i know is that the 70s/80s punks might not have cared (they were an entirely different breed), but the 90s absolutely cared.  there’s a reason the word poser exists, and it sure as shit aint me.  where do you think i learned the term from?  i didn’t make that shit up… i learned it in the 90s.

manic panic started in the 70s and was most likely the go-to for ages.  punk people are absolutely the only people aside from rad new wave people or goths of the 80s that dyed their hair crazy colours, up until just about a decade ago.  metal heads didn’t even do it back then.  in fact, i rarely even had raver friends that dyed their hair weird colours on the regs in the 90s/early 00s.  sure, they did pop up every now and again but for the most part, it was regular ol hair hues.  I’M TALKING NYC RAVERS…  the only other time anyone saw rainbow hair were either on the goth/vampire kids, on wigs, or rad chicks of colour donning red or dark purple.  so yeah, *this bAdAsS pOsEr* def recalls reality a lot better than whoever this ding dong is.

also: i love belittling posers that try to look like something they’re not and will absolutely do it whenever possible.  i will never outgrow this shit, it’s embedded into my brain.  why try to be something you’re not?  if you’re not authentic, wtf do you have in life?  just bc i struck a nerve, doesn’t mean you have to reach out to a person like an unhinged nut.  spewing that shit to me just made me giggle.  i am a cranky, piece of shit, punk new yorker…

go suck wind, lol.

ACCURATE.

also: for some odd reason, i always come back around near my apartment and second guess doing a second loop, when “one more time” comes on. i’d say about 75% of the time, and then i do another 4 mile loop. thank you, daft punk.

let ’em learn. i might not be the best friend in the world sometimes (mostly because of personal expectations), but you’ll always have an honest and loyal person out of me. if i accidentally see pics of you and people i’ve deemed unworthy, i sit back and laugh. y’all are fake and corny.

ACCURATE. too bad you can’t fix shitty narcissistic humans… PEACE da fuq out.

100000000000% dump supporters are the worst.

AUTUMN IS UPON US, stop complaining about candy corn like it’s the damn devil. if you don’t like it, it’s fine… shut up about it and anything pumpkin spice. FFS… i fucking LOATHE egg nog, you don’t see me walking around bitching about it during xmas time.

lmao, it escapes the mind and then the universe throws it back at me… at least this one made me giggle.

so i have a pile of fear street books at home, they’re begging to be read.  in fact, i did read “silent night” (pt. 1) last winter, and it was still good.  by still good, i mean not too teenagery where i shouldn’t be reading it.

it turns out, rl stine wrote his first fear street book when he was nearing 50.  i guess that’s why it may seem more on the adult side? i know a good few take place during autumn, and i’m DYING for autumn to get here already.  i’m waiting for the delivery of my next helene turstene book, and i love reading on my commute, so why not? well…

i take the M train, known for a small population of commuting hipsters/transplants.  as much as i unfortunately can relate a lot of things that i love, to hipster-affiliated things, i hate admitting it.  or maybe i just hate hipsters, i know i’m authentic, SOOOOOO…  lol.

anyways, i was worried about these things being what others would think:

a) are fear street books ironic enough to be classified as a hipster thing?
b) am i too old?
c) will people think that i am not educated enough to enjoy adult books?

even if i covered it/wrapped the book so that you couldn’t see the cover (which makes it worse, i think), you can still see the info at the tops of the pages, lol.

am i being crazy about this?

some of my coworkers have their kids in the office today…  it’s cute, they’re running around and giggling and stuff.  there were three kids in the employee lounge eating lunch and watching cartoons, and one was wearing a boston bruins shirt.  he must have been between ages 8-10.  so of course i had to chime in.

here’s how it went down:

me: are you really a bruins fan?
kiddo: yeah…
me: who’s your favorite bruin?
kiddo: lucic.
me: this face.
kiddo: oh yeah? well who lost 4-1 in the playoffs?
me: ಠ_ಠ whut? (in disbelief of what was being said)
kiddo: who lost 4-1 in the playoffs? (it was repeated, aggressively)
me: how do you know what automatically know what team i root for? (biting my tongue to not say “well who lost 4-2 to the blackhawks in the finals?”)
kiddo: well you made a face like you don’t like lucic, so…
me: are you from boston? (quickly changing the subject, while feeling infinitely defeated by a child)
kiddo: no, but my mom is – she’s a bruins fan, so it’s a family tradition now.
me: ah okay, just wonderin.

then his friend next to him asked me my favorite football team, i said i like the giants and the jets.  he agreed with me.

then i went to my desk to eat my subway sammy.

i feel defeated by a child.
