Don&#8217;t forget to go check out <a href="http://bethis.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/further-dangers-of-the-band-guy/">my post</a> over on her site.</strong></p>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<p>Candice has a little bit of a rant blog, but one of those good rant blogs, not one of those annoying rant blogs (you <em>know</em> the type I am talking about).  I tend to get into the rant myself from time to time, but I want to post a specific rant here on a topic Candice has <a href="http://www.negativesmart.com/2008/10/27/random-babblings/">touched on</a> in various forms through her posts:  <strong>The Perpetual Stupidity of Women On The Internet and Also In Real Life</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve talked about my <a href="http://bethis.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/am-i-an-airhead/">occasional airheadedness</a> in the past.  But at least I present myself to the world with a little bit of class and intelligence.  I think, in general, I am confused about why <em>class</em> and <em>intelligence</em> have fallen out of favor with young women.</p>
<p>Example:  Facebook.  If I see one more goddamn picture on Facebook (and by picture, I mean ENTIRE ALBUMS) tagged of a girl <a href="http://shirtordress.blogspot.com/">wearing a shirt as a dress</a> and drunk or puking or sitting on some guys face or puking while sitting on some guys face, I am going to throw my computer out the window.  Actually, I might just plant a virus so that all these girls get punched in the face every time they tag that shit.  The question is, when did it become cool to show the world what a fucking idiot you are?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying that I never puke while sitting on a guys face, but I don&#8217;t publicize it over and over again for the public to revel in.  I don&#8217;t make albums entitled &#8220;Let&#8217;s drink up sluts!&#8221; and &#8220;My bitches, my bong.&#8221; (OK, that one is actually kind of funny) or &#8220;Sluts! Skanks!&#8221;.  And I <strong>certainly</strong> do not make albums entitled &#8220;Lil&#8217; Hottie&#8221; full of pictures THAT I TOOK OF MYSELF.</p>
<p>I think this trend is making our gender/generation look foolish.  It actually concerns me sometimes.  I am a big believer in fun, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but where are we going to draw the line?</p>
<p>So here is a list of cringe-worthy stupidity that women our age need to stop doing immediately:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uhh, <a href="http://www.negativesmart.com/2008/11/09/its-fuggs-season-again/">wearing uggs, sweatpants and northface jackets all the time in public</a>.  Thanks for noting this Candice (PS- stealing &#8220;clonetastic&#8221;&#8230; genius).</li>
<li>Saying &#8220;Oh, I like all music except, like, country.&#8221; and other similar phrases.  You should probably think about having an opinion. It&#8217;s not offensive (or hard) to have a preference.</li>
<li>Staying in dead-end relationships/hooking up with people they don&#8217;t actually like.  This one frustrates me to no end.  I may be perpetually single, but at least I can last more than a week without hooking up with a random douche just out of boredom.</li>
<li>Not using birth control, or misusing birth control.  &#8230; Really, ladies?  We&#8217;re still doing this?</li>
<li>Getting into drunken physical altercations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Feel free to comment with more; I&#8217;m sure there are endless examples.  And like I said, by no means am I <strong>Anti-Fun</strong>, but I am more <strong>Pro-Using Brains</strong>.  I think we all need to wikipedia the word &#8220;class&#8221; and learn a few things.<br />
In summary, I need to turn my blog into a rant blog because that was way too satisfying.  And as Ron Burgundy says, stay classy San Diego skanks.</p>
