Writer's Block: Welcome back, old friends

What is the best returning TV show of 2010? How long before it jumps the shark?

View 465 Answers


Oh, God. Don't even start with the "jumping the shark" thing. Everyone's always like "BOOOOO! THAT LAST EPISODE SUCKED! I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FUNNY! YOU JUMPED THE SHARK" whenever there's a certain episode they personally dislike. It's stupid. I think we should ban that phrase.

I like a lot of shows, but if I had to choose the best, for a newer show I'd say Modern Family (...or Glee) and for an older show 30 Rock.

'Willow'-from Oneword.com

'My Immortal' is fucking hilarious. I can't even begin to get into the history and theories. It will go down in history, but only because the dinosaurs are going to return and conquer us all in the next hundred years.

The following are from Creativity-Portal.

You need other people because...


Who else is going to make the tea? YOU NEED YOUR TEA. You don't know what brand of teabags you like! You don't know the perfect temperature to boil the water! You don't know what a spout is! (You think you've seen it on a barn cat once but you're not entirely sure.) Tea! Tea! Tea! Entire global INFRASTRUCTURES collapse when there's no one to make the fucking teaTea! TEA. TEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA. Do you want the world to HURL itself into the SUN because noonemadethefuckingtea? Noooo? GOOD. THAT'S WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE FOR. TEA.

How is life different for your children than when you were growing up?
 

It probably won't be that different. They'll have old jazz blasted in their ears when they're two and grow to hate it (but then start to like it five years later), I'll raise them as Christian fundamentalists who write "harry potter is bad dont let your kids watch it" on cheap stationary and display it prominently on their grilled bedroom windows and read online anti-Pokemon propaganda; they'll delude themselves into thinking they can write because they're the only remotely creative ones in an environment where any literary talent is saturated into a three page composition seemingly about dogs or ditches or frisbees (Singapore's cool but our education system's a bitch). Regardless of their gender eventually one of them will become a Queen fan and I'll give them my Greatest Hits CD that my dad gave to me and said child will develop a fetish for British rock stars, only they'll be old enough to be their great-grandfathers.

The few differences is that when they're ten I will snap, rip apart a children's devotional with my bare hands and scream "THE FUNDIES ARE A LIEEEEEEEEEEE".

There was a time when you almost threw in the towel. Write about that experience.

 

Well, I had it in my hands and I was about to chuck it inside but I realized some underwear was hot pink. Close call, huh?

What do you do with all of the things you write about?
 

Stalk them. God, I wish I was joking. I am probably qualified to teach two things: Queen and Internet stalking. At a university specializing in the Art of the Crazy, that is. It's gotten to the point where I don't want the object of my insanity affection to switch to the new FB profile because it wouldn't 'be the same'. I have nicknamed the group of girls who coddle and praise him 'the Harem', I have a playlist of situation-appropriate background music to use, and I'm beginning to find that when it's not my time of the month, I'm visiting the page and looking at pictures out of boredom instead of passion.

Forgive and forget. I think.
 

I try, but for people like me it's easier said than done. I find I can't immediately do both at the same time. If I forgive someone I need to remember what they did, because that actually helps me understand them better, especially in case something like that happens again. And if I just forget about it, then it's going to come bubbling out and explode like an angry super volcano at a later date.

Do we really need more than fifty kinds of shampoo?

Yes. I might be an aspiring comedy writer but I'm also a girl. You have it for damaged hair, dry hair, dandruff, oily, greasy, curly, fine, thinning, blonde, heat-styled, itchy, sensitive, colored, pre-coloring, post-coloring, conditioning, gentle cleansing, deep cleansing, thickening, clarifying, balancing, strengthening, softening, volumizing, repairing, nourishing, lightening, shine-enhancing, hydrating, chemical treatments, 2-in-1, UV protection, tear-free, hair loss, anti-frizz, organic, professional styling, tea tree, smoothing, baby, horse, and possibly dingo.

Tumblr is down. Again.

DDDDDDDDDDDX

"Shortly"? LIARS.

Oh crap. I haven't written a long blog post in the longest time. Microblogging is great therapy for people like me, because it means we can't rant. (Well, in Tumblr's case you can, but anything longer than two to three paragraphs tends to make you look like an idiot)

Ffffff. I have nothing to say. I'm really not in the right state of mind to make an angst ramble.

Oh yeah. Facebook Likes. I'm more annoyed that Tumblr is down because I want to make a new Tumblelog about stupid posts on Likelicious or other third-party Like pages like that. Like. Like that. Liiiiiikkeeeeee. I like enjoy over-analyzing things, so this is the rundown on FB likes:

1) Blonde jokes.
2) Things a good boyfriend would do
3) How differently elementary, middle school, or high school students act from each other in certain situations
4) Guys like COD and girls like Justin Bieber making stupid Likes.

I have this theory (I think) that what people hate in others are usually what they hate in themselves. For example, I have a very extreme personality. Not in the, "WOOOOH MONSTER TRUCK OFF A CLIFF WHEEE OH LET'S SET THE BACKSEAT ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!" kind of extreme; like if I'm interested in something I have to get obsessed with it. Therefore, I get easily annoyed with, say, a Christian fundamentalist because they might be automatically radical about anything they believe in because I recognize that that's one of my own weaknesses and I hate being reminded of it. Same thing goes for these Likes. I try too hard to be 'different', so I hate seeing random girls my age using Facebook to express their 'individuality'. And in some twisted way, it makes me feel good about myself if I seem to think differently from the masses and herds.

Right now, two friends have liked this counter to number 3:

i hate it when , i see a like post , and it makes middle schoolers look bad , when in general we are the TRUEE KIDISH onesss , we are the ones that are in the middle of being an adult and being a kid

I disliked it. 'Cause that's kind of...uh...I dunno, putting it mildly, bullshit? When you're my age there are basically two very different spectrums of the teen psyche: there are the independent 'mature' ones who watch porn or tell dirty jokes and try to talk about politics (TRY), and then there are the ones who stubbornly cling to their childhood, subconsciously thinking that that makes them 'better' and, again, 'different' from the 'mature' ones. Of course it's a little more complicated than that and I'm not putting down either group, but that's just what I've observed in classmates and stuff and blah.

Ugh, crap. I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess I think it's annoying, that's all. I really have no idea where I stand in this confusing puberty "ZOMG I GO TO MOVIES WITH GURL SHE BE MY GURLFREN YES?" stage of our lives. I kind of just sit in a corner bitching about theology and listening to Queen-and I know that doesn't make me 'better'. Sometimes I feel like it does, but logically I know it doesn't. Does that make sense? Fff.

I could go on some tangent (you like notice how many times I've managed to find a synonym for 'rant'?) about how we only truly reach that idea of who we are and what our PURPOSE IS by being ourselvesssss instead of just 'someone else who is not the other kind of someone else' or something. I could. I can't, because technically I'm not qualified. It's wrong and almost...traitorous? because I'm struggling with all this 'individuality' shit like everyone else. 

Ohohohoh. There's a problem: shows like High School Musical or Glee or Camp Rock are always telling us to "be ourselves", but that's exactly it, isn't it? We don't know who we are yet.

...SEE, THIS IS WHY TUMBLR IS GOOD FOR ME.

Screw this. I'm going to go eat a sandwich now.
