May 7
Surely everyone's heard of the craze over that book and the movie, starring Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel. This whole group of girls that have managed to keep in touch and streghten their bond during their summers apart through a magical pair pants (more specifically jeans) which conquested the unconquestable- fitting all four them to a capital "T", from curvy Carmen to leggy Lena.
The inseparable quartet + The magical pair of pants = The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
An incredibly cheesy title and incredibly cheesy plots that have surprisingly captured the hearts of millions across North America. Well, maybe not
that surprising since it isn't often that girls like myself gets their hands on something that will pull their heads of the dreamy, highly unrealistic, overly dramatized, exccessively romantic novels featuring the imperfect girl with their perfect guy after months of heartache. The story line is so plain and so every-day like that it's like reading pages from a diary.
Perhaps it's the fact of none of us actually makes an effort to do something so simple to keep in touch in everyday lives that all of a sudden, there's a
need to do something to imitate Bee, Lena, Tibby and Carmen's efforts.
So sure, go buy a pair of pants, state rules and send it all over the place. But I say the imitation stops right there.
There's absolutely no need to fit people into the characters shoes. If you fit, good for you, I'd say with a thumbs up. But if I don't. Don't try stuffing me under some fictious character's skin.
Just because I didn't think I was like Tibby, doesn't mean you have to shove me into her body and pick out everything that I had in common with her. FYI, I share those same characteristics with almost every other human teenager on Earth. And just because I don't want to be Tibby or be like Tibby does not mean I did not like change, or do horribly with them for that matter.
Let me ask you, ladies and gentlemen, and give me an honest opinion when I say this,
How many of you truly and absolutely adore change?"Wait. Actually, unless your life, in your own humble opinion, is decent and worth living, do not bother answering that.
No one likes change when you're satisfied and contented with your current style of living. Why would we? When we were living in complete comfort? Besides, you're not the one with 12 schools in your 14 years. I was the one that had to put up with moving every so often, and making friends and keeping them, then leaving them. Not you. But me. I don't see you putting up with parting with your friends. Sure graduation, occasional people's leavings. But to me,
everyone's leaving because I'm moving.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm getting by just fine in my 12th school.
Anyways, why would I want to change who I am just so I can fit into some fictious person's life? I like my life just fine, thank you very much.
That's
not change.
That's simply blinded impersonation, intended hypocricy.
And excuse my inflexibility. Excuse my ineptness at adapting to
changes, I'm not quite yet ready to exchange my life for a person from in between the pages', not quite yet ready to blindy impersonate, nor intentionally decieve.
