Christmas & Personal Sites & Incantesimo
Many thanks to everyone who wished me a merry Christmas yesterday, especially to Fruity, because she did it twice. And it’s still not late, as we’re weirdos who celebrate Christmas for three days…actually, four days including the Christmas Eve (which was on Saturday), as we’re weird like that. 
After having been in the wonderful world of Despair for a little while, I can say this for sure now: people are strange. There’s also the other option, that people are OK and that Iva is strange, but as I have gained way too much self-esteem on one certain day last year, I’ll settle for the first thing. Basically, seems like there are trends in what people’s websites should be like, but, apparently, also in how people should behave? I am saying this simply because, lately, I’ve been running into websites with massive background images (better) and websites of dumb girls whose only thoughts are how to be pretty, how to get laid (because everyone needs to have sex to be cool or something like that?) and how to get drunk. BLAH. I wonder if a person with such amazing goals in life can carry out a normal conversation? The worst thing of all is that there are HORDES of 12-17 years old of that kind. Shouldn’t there be a way to brainwash them or something? Of course it’s fine to be with someone whom you love, to be clean and tidy and moderate social drinking is what most people do…but these kids are taking it to the moron-level. Do they read? I mean, do they read anything else than what’s trendy at the moment and watch any movie regardless of Orlando Bloom or whoever else’s presence in it? I think I’m worried about every new generation being dumber and dumber! Hopefully, someone will prove me wrong.
Oh yes. I’ve just watched the first episode of the season 9 of one of my favourite TV series, Incantesimo. Let’s say that I was not really impressed. The ending of season 8 was pretty much forced out, it was not clear if two of the main characters actually died (one was shoot and the other one fell on the floor after her lover hit the end of her neck bone) and now, boom, nothing has happened, new characters are there, these two are most likely dead and some others have just…err…vanished away? My mother was wondering what happened to a little boy who was adopted by the woman who was killed in the last episode of the season 8 (and who was, sadly, one of my favourite characters…we will miss you, Denise *sob sob*), as he would obviously could’ve only been adopted by his uncle who’s still in the series…? Either way, what’s the point of a series if things like this are happening? >_<

Hey .. your layout looks cool
And i agree with you… People act like someone there not.

Why the disgustingly big graphics? Which, incidentally, also tend to be rather ugly… Well, mostly due to a worrisome trend that webmasters these days have (well some of them), which is the following: I (the webmaster) am doing you (the visitor) a favor by letting you access my site.
Where exactly they got the idea that it’s them doing the favor and not the visitor is way beyond me.

I’ll prove you wrong =] My ex-best friend decided she wanted to go out and get drunk every weekend and really really wanted to have sex with her boyfriend, this would have all been fine if she wasn’t 14. I didn’t like all the ideas of it, because she was beginning to brainwash all of our group, and because I wasn’t thinking like them, I got into a fight with that girl and got kicked out of the group.
And if your wondering, they did have sex. And I don’t think she liked it very much >=]

i get those kinds of sites sometimes, and i’m like….that’s nice.
today’s youth is so messed up though.

I wouldn’t worry too much about those kids. If they don’t end up dead from drinking, drugs or starving themselves they will eventually have such a little amount of braincells left so they are able to communicate with what else youth has left behind.

Twelve-year-olds talking about getting drunk and laid? Ew… what has happened to society? Not that when I was twelve we talked about anything that was much better (maybe what happened during the latest episode of Passions or Days of Our Lives, or some other stupid soap opera), but… ew.
I would attribute such behaviour to the carefree attitude of youth, but considering I’ve run into too many people who fit that description and who are well into their twenties (even thirties, sometimes), I’m going to say it’s simply that society itself has taken a turn for the worst. And there’s not much I can do about that, except raise any prospective children I have to refrain from such behaviour. Or at least keep it to a minimum.
As for the website trends you see on Despair–I quite agree with you. It seems that lately everybody has an enormous blend or background image that serves (probably) to distract from meaningless content which is impertinent to anyone but the writer her(generally)self. Blah.

I’ve actually never come across a blog like that… oh well, probably will someday, it sounds too pathetic though.. lol
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year a bit late

wow. i have seen the big pictures but haven’t seen the sex or dunk posts, that’s crazy.

Yes, I see what you mean and I totally agree about the trend on “teen” blog design / content. I’m AGING 10 years as I wait for massive backgrounds and banner images to load – usually of some stoned Hollywood anorexic female starlet / singer. Bleah. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie… this is what I’ve been seeing…
Today, I had to return a comment on some kid’s blog… and the latest entry was plastered with pictures of the blogger and her friends (15 to 18 year-olds?) all in a hot tub, all were holding beer bottles, toasting each other and looking quite stoned and smug about it.
I don’t even know how to comment on blogs like that, because… usually, when I don’t have something nice to say, I’d rather not say it… that is, if the battle isn’t worth the drama.
