I can’t name many songs that I hate.

That's because music is holy.

Actually, most sings aren't too bad.

Oh my gosh. Never mind, Paper Heart is the second worst song. Friday is a horror.

Friday was released in that certain time period where the most popular thing to do was make fun of young singers mercilessly. Rebecca Black seems to have taken it in stride, fortunately.

One of the songs that I do actually totally hate is “I Wish I Were a Punk Rocker” by Sandi Thom.
It’s so... odd.
I don’t want to insult her, I have nothing against Thom. But the song is just bad.

Actually no. Her family worked to pull the song at one point. Especially when they learned she was the wrong kind of internet sensation.

People have forgotten her so now the song is back.

Time hasn't improved it.

Still, I admire her for remaining active on YouTube after all of the death threats.

Rebecca Black was the same age as me for Friday. I have a lot more sympathy for her now.

Friday was awful, due to lyrics and autotune, but Rebecca Black can actually sing.

My fosterfamily would never let me hear the end of that if I did it. :p

They make fun of me for me mixing up the sun rising in the east and setting in the west-me thinking it was the reverse by accident one time-from 5 years ago.

So fun idea, but not where I live, sadly.

She seems to have edited your post to include your first post after you posted it, because I can only see a doublepost, and the "wrote" link links to your first post (which is after hers).

I know just...

Imagine someone like that becoming a political commentator, or at least that being dug up. Weird as hell. Wouldn't kill it, but I could imagine the memes.


It's not like this is not happening already. Ever tried to sit through watching Fox commentators? Because they're the perfect example of that.

Being an anime character is too negative. Maybe the 3 means that you will adopt three rats soon.

Those boys are in for a rough childhood.

No. Actually adopt three rats. Name them Tick, Trick, and Track. Just do it. What could possibly go wrong?

It's not just RPers, to be fair. I used to be a stereotypical "SJW" feminist type whose entire views were cribbed from university politics. Looking back at my first posts causes me physical pain.
