listening to: slow it up by dj unk.
feeling: whiny.
there are few things i can't tolerate. wait, i take that back. there's too many things i can't tolerate. i really should get a life.
one of these irks on the rapidly expanding list is "
name dropping". even the term sounds vile and evocative of some vulgar bathroom habit. i'm sure we've all come across a person who just loves to talk about who they know to impress you, though i wouldn't know why they want to impress you. you're nothing special. HAHA, okay okay anyway. i can just about tolerate those because hell, i'm sure we're all guilty of it, whether it was to impress that guy i had my eye on or to tempt somebody into being your friend. but if there's one thing that really makes me moan (and not in a good way), it's name droppers who don't even know the people they're talking about.
why.
why?!does it amuse you to name drop to me? about people you don't even know and who i know you don't even know? because what if i knew them? do you realise how embarrassing this whole situation would turn out for you?
don't act like you know them when you obviously and clearly don't.i try not to surround myself with these people because they're either very insecure or because i'll just end up smacking them down after putting up with their shit for a day. or an hour.
displaying traits of misrepresentation and deception, they have nothing to offer me but negativity. often, this name dropping is used to astonish, impress and make the reciever of the conversation feel like crap. like they're not as popular, not as good, not as renowned, not as famous. the fatal human flaw of always wanting to and thinking that you're better than everybody else. we're all guilty of this flaw as it's human nature. there's no use denying it.
well, i have news for you little nit pickers and name droppers out there:
i don't want to be famous, thankyouverymuch. you can go take your conceited, bloated and self-absorbed egos and shove it where the sun don't shine. i don't mean to be mean (what a lie) but look around you. do you really think we care?
seriously.
