Pants Parade

guys, two days...TWO DAYS. it's been three long years of combing the interwebs, searching ABC family's weekly guide, tearing open each week's variety...waiting. patiently waiting. and in two short days -- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 will take the world by storm! andicannotfuckingwait!!!

everything from the tagline -- Laugh. Cry. Share the Pants. -- is pure gold. i'm a little stressed about seeing this in the theatre though, honestly. i might pee my pants, that's inevitable, and it's also something i can prepare for and deal with accordingly. but my main issue is that i can't fast forward through all of Carmen's scenes. i HATE carmen. she's so aggro puerto rican. it's racist, really. what? you couldnt cast a black chick, so you made the closest thing the angry one? it should have been alexis bledel's character, Lena. she's at least 30 and playing a 17 year old, so i'd be pretty pissed. sorry, alexis, you were my least favorite gilmore...even the grandmother was better than you.

but i'll deal with it. i'll sit through carmen singing guantanamera with a spatula in hand over and over again just to see who my girl bridget falls into bed with next. we left homegirl crying about the fact that she left soccer camp and therefore her one night stand. (ed. note - isn't that the worst feeling though? right after you break up with someone or leave your summer crush on some condom/syringe ridden beach in southern massachusetts, knowing that it could be months before you're getting laid again. that's why i like to vacation places i have to take a ferry to -- a few greyhounds later and you're taking the skipper below deck...)

so, if you need me during the next two days, i'll be at forcing my three closest friends (who would never be my friends in real life) to come to JCPenney with me to try on pair after pair of faded dungarees.

My rant to Lauryn regarding this post via im and pasted here because this post NEEDS comments for it's sheer genius topic and humor:

monachaudhuri: i txted my sister asking her why i so wanted to watch this movie after seeing a commercial. i settled on blake lively being in it, but that's so false
monachaudhuri: i then made myself watch the history channel specials on egypt to wash off the shame of wanting to see this movie
monachaudhuri: BUT OH MY FUCKING GOD I WILL BE THERE WIHT YOU, kleenexes waving, (we'll have to flip coins to determine who will be wearing said shared jcpenny jeans), and then we will go back to one of our apartments to play out the various characters. really show dungeons and dragons team how TRUE role playing games are DONE, SON
monachaudhuri: except i'm blatantly going to have to be aggro puerto rican, carmen. par for the fucking course
monachaudhuri: this is just like me having to be jessi ramsey from babysitters club, who also happened to be SO lame compared to stacey. there was already an asian friend of ours who stole claudia. racism is real, people
monachaudhuri: i'm on wikipedia right now and jessi is teh LAST member listed. LOWER than mallory. just above logan who was mr. spier AT BEST
monachaudhuri: When Jessi and her family first moved to Stoneybrook, some people were racist toward them because they were black, but this got better toward the end of the first book featuring Jessi.
monachaudhuri: YUP
monachaudhuri: only to be further exaggerated when the girls of bishop elementary school forced a VERY reluctant mona chaudhuri into playing her character due to skin color alone. fine, so i also did ballet but that's besides the point.
