A Little HP Related Rant...

[evillama05]

So, I'm not sure how many of ya'll know this, but I'm in my second year of college as a English Literature major getting a Minor in Secondary Education.

So I just sort of started the classes for my major recently so they are all full of English people and I have to admit it was a little intimidating at first, but they all turned out to be really cool after a little while.

Until this one girl just really angered me. How you say?

Well I'm sitting there in class looking through Heart of Darkness to think up some topics for discussion when she sees my Harry Potter bookmark and says: "You like Harry Potter?"

And I'm like, yeah. (little do they know the full obsession my harry potter fanaticism took in my teen years).

Then she has the balls to say:

"I never read Harry Potter. I don't read books that are just *fads*."

........

I am cussing in my head right now. I mean, wtf. She doesn't read books that are just fads. So I got really annoyed and said: "Well I try not to be too snobby about what I read."

Because that's what that was. Snobby. Absolutely snobby. I am so annoyed with her right now and it happened like a month ago. lol And like all my classmates kinda were watching although not saying anything and then she was like:

Well I saw the movies. They were really good.

And then I gave her a deathglare.

There is my story. lol Un-fucking-believable.

Haha, what a bitch, you tell her kris!! People like that that are hipocrites...she doesn't read things that are "fads" well thats just trying to portray herself a certain way that is kinda a fad in its own way. Like, I knew this girl in HS that was the queen goth chick that used to bitch about the popular people and whatnot and then turn around the next minute and talk about other Goths and how they were not goth enough if they didn't listen to certain music and buy clothes are certain places...yeah, you'd think they'd realize its the same thing.

Dude, I may not be an expert or anything on literature, but don't most great pieces of lit start out as "fads"? Wtf? Gah, she deserved to be death-glared.
