And now for an installment of…

“Don’t Be Stupid, You Fucking Idiot!”

In this case, we have a fucking idiot 15 year-old girl from Newark, Ohio.  This genius was arrested for sending naked pictures of herself to her classmates. 

But that doesn’t strike me as the funny part. 

The funny part is how she is denying the charges.  Bitch, when the charge has to do with your naked pictures, just the fact that they had enough to charge you at all pretty much means you did it.  It’s fucking documented.  They would have no case if you were, in fact, not guilty.  Your naked pictures, and the naked pictures received by everyone you sent them to, is their case.

Did you happen to trip out of the shower in an inconvenient “sexy” pose while some mystery culprit simultaneously snapped a photo?  If so, good luck proving your case.  If not, own up to the fact that you did something profoundly stupid and get to repairing your demolished reputation.  That is, if you’re not thrown in Juvi, where I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends when you tell the other gals how you got there.

Don’t get me wrong, if she wants to mail 8×10 glossies of her vag to every adult male in Ohio when she’s eighteen, more power to her.  It’s her body and her reputation, thus, hers to destroy as she see’s fit.  But to be so blatant about it when she probably just grew in her pubes a couple of years beforehand is grossly reckless and flat-out stupid.  In fact, perhaps it’s in her best interest that the cops got to her before some sinister, unbalanced pedophile did.

The sad part is that she is by no means the only fucking idiot teenager doing this kind of shit.  It came with the dawn of MySpace, where little Sally in Podunk, Tennessee realized she could get a fuckton of attention in her wee town by throwing up near-nude/nude pictures of her 13 year-old self online.  That mindset became an epidemic among young ignorant teenagers and a whole new era of child pornography was born.  The kind of child pornography that was intended for that cute guy in Bio class who you were hoping would start liking you as a result, who instead forwards said picture to all of his friends, who in turn, post them on an imageboard like 4Chan, and all of a sudden you’re famous!  

Famous among the underground pedophile miscreants of the interweb.  Congratulations!

…No, there’s no substantial “message” intended with this post.  I just hate dumb teenagers.  Even when I was a dumb teenager, I hated dumb teenagers.

So don’t be stupid, you fucking idiot teenagers!

The X-Files nerd in me is entirely too excited.

Are you there Xenu? It's me, Lil.

That’s right, ALIENS!

Personally (and this is my opinion as a reasonably informed and rational person, not an X-Files enthusiast), I’ve never written off the possibility of extraterrestrials. When you consider how incredibly vast the universe is, I’d say it’s a downright self-aggrandizing mindset to think we’re the only living creatures in its entirety. It is far too big, and has been around for far too long not to have had another life form attempt to discover its mysteries, just like we have.

That’s just my opinion on the topic of aliens. When it comes to this video, I’m not sure what to believe. The question of whether it’s real or not doesn’t concern me as much as why our government would be so lax as to just let it leak, if it were real. It seems to me that with all the effort they’ve gone to in order to “protect” us from terrorism in our own world, the possibility of mysterious visitors with unknown intentions from another world would send them falling all over themselves to cover it up and secretly find a way to get them before they get us. Hate to say it, but that’s just the way our leaders work, as a whole we’re just not as progressive as we’d like to believe (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, anyone?). Of course there also the possibility that what I just surmised has been going on for decades now, and the government is letting this go for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of us.

Either way, should this ultimately lead to the worldwide exposure of extraterrestrial life, I have some predictions. First and foremost, if it really is the first time they’ve made contact with us, I predict our leaders will see them as a threat. This is the least favorable circumstance, as considering they had the technology to get here, they’d probably have the technology to turn our planet to dust. Hopefully our leaders are smarter than that and would attempt to learn from them rather than wage war. If that’s the case, then I also predict mass panic to spread worldwide. I figure most of these people will be religious or gullible folks and the “end of the world” frenzy we saw in 1999 will come back full force, with mass suicides being planned and executed throughout the world. Now, I’m not trying to offend religious people (if I was, you’d know it), but if you consider an alien visitor’s role in various religious texts and doctrines, you’ll probably find that…well…there isn’t one (meanwhile, the Scientologists sit on the sidelines, sipping Chianti and giggling uncontrollably).  And those groups unable to think and function outside the box of their religious beliefs will have an awfully rough time adjusting…and let’s face it, it would hardly be the first time religion has been the cause of mass death.

Now keep in mind that my predictions aren’t nearly as factually sound as, oh, say…Sylvia Browne (number 40 is the reference, but be sure to check out the rest of the “wouldn’t it be nice if..” list), simply educated guesses based on my perception of our world.

Personally, I think it would be awesome, and I wholeheartedly welcome our new alien overlords!  FREE HEALTHCARE PLZ.

Obligatory Intro

So I made a blog.

Honestly, I don’t expect this to amount to much more than a casual side project. In fact, the word “project” itself seems like a major overstatement. However, I made it, and I feel like I should explain why…and I suppose, divulge a bit about myself.

My name is Lillian.

I’m 21 years old and I’ve lived in Newark, New Jersey my entire life. I feel like I exemplify the definition of “wasted potential”. Throughout my childhood, I’d always been an overachiever, a good student, and a good kid. When high school came, I hit a 180 and spent the next four years exhibiting the bare minimum of my potential. Why? I’m still not sure.

I graduated high school in 2004 with a mediocre grade point average and went to Kean University. I dropped out after a month. This was for a number of reasons. First of all, a two hour train commute is an awful start to any day, and I was walking around campus tired and angry before my classes even started. Second of all, it was entirely too difficult to find like-minded people there. My social anxiety combined with my own personal curse of keen observational skills makes me hyper sensitive to displays of douchebaggery, which I now know is found on any college campus, but back then was too wrapped up in distaste for my surroundings to realize.

The next few years consist of me trying and failing to continue my education. This is probably my greatest regret in life, but I haven’t given up yet. Right now, I think this is largely due to my not knowing what the hell to do with my life and not wanting to waste my parents’ money. I know I’m intelligent, and I have many varied interests, but currently haven’t the means nor the willpower to jump into a four year academic commitment for a profession that I’m not even sure I’m cut out for. My current short term goal is to earn enough to move out of my parents’ house.  I feel this will give me the confidence boost I need to get my life together, and eventually go back to school part time without the financial strain on my parents; because despite the shambles my life is in at the moment, I have every intention to finish school. I read constantly, in a lame attempt to compensate for not being in college.

As you see now, I’m in a rut. I made this blog as an outlet for my frustrations. And I certainly have a lot of frustration. Thus, the title of this blog being, Periodic Inexplicable Bitterness. Expect brutal honesty and snarkiness and, maybe, the occasional “something went right and I’m happy” post. Basically, I made this for me, and I’m going to use it.
