It's the little things

Oh thank the lord someone else wrote this, because now it doesn't look like I'm complaining:
That super cute quirky girl from that movie
Seriously, if I have to deal with one more of these characters I'm going to start shooting girls who wear knee-high socks and any kind of faintly retro headgear on sight. I get tired enough of the debate surrounding the word 'cool' without wondering if I have to be 'quirky' too. She is as much of a pain in the arse as the rest of us, just aloof to boot.

In other news, I have found, well, either further evidence of how mal-adjusted I am, or a wonderful way to deal with rejection. I have to point out, this is where it all gets a tad personal, but only insofar as I wonder if anyone (who isn't me and the friend who I came up with this alongside) would find it at all funny. In essence, another friend of mine (and I would like to stress, we are still friends) recently explained that we would never become an item because I "just hadn't bowled him over". After a few distraught discussions with others it became apparent to me that honesty was not entirely the best policy at that moment, and this particular phrasing was an understandable onslaught to my self-esteem. Don't worry though, because after I foolishly and tearfully watched Breakfast at Tiffany's alone (hence the collision of a hatred of magical man-magnet quirky girls and romantic, happy endings), it gave birth to:

THE "*NAME DELETED TO THINLY MAINTAIN DIPLOMACY* RUINS FILMS" GAME

"Where will I go? What will I do?"
"Frankly my dear, you just haven't bowled me over."

Skyline of city explodes
"Martha... you just haven't bowled me over."
Where is My Mind starts playing

and the current favourite:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... They just didn't bowl me over"

Maybe I'm bitter - but I did find it hilarious.
