Thoughts for Maisie

This weekend I really wanted to watch Little Shop of Horrors. I downloaded it form iTunes but for some reason it stopped downloading about 5 minutes in, so I can only watch the first 5 minutes of Little Shop of Horrors. I tried to re-download it but the iTunes page was frozen so I ended up watching an Elvis documentary instead. I don't know if any performer form our generation will be preserved through history like Elvis. I think Beyoncé could be, not just because I'm a fan of her but also because she has such a large fan base and is an extremely famous pop-culture figure who is not only talented but glamorous and graceful as well.

I hope that if I do become a screenwriter when I'm older I don't uncomfortably force pop culture references into my show and have my characters dress like seventeen magazine took a neon shit on the disney channel. Like what is with all the chunky necklaces and layers? I don't have time before school to put on 16 bracelets, a beanie, a bow, a headband, a chunky necklace, 5 rings, and fucking leg warmers. I just get really mad about this because most shows aimed at teens makes us look like complete idiots. The old dudes writing the show wedge buzzwords like "Instagram" and "Facebook" and "Harry Styles." Also I don't understand why they think we talk in acronyms. Alright to be honest my friends and I do talk in acronyms sometimes but we don't think we're trendy because we do. I know I sound super pretentious, but we do it ironically. No "cool" teenager uses swag like they mean it. I want to be able to integrate pop culture in a funny and real way. There is this bootylicious man that my friends and I all know and we don't like giggle and say "omg he's soooo cute, I wanna hold and hands and take a selfie with him." Oh no friend, our commentary on this man is much more sexual, and comes with a lot of eyebrow wiggling and innuendo. The person who represents young people the best I think is Mindy Kaling. Her show is very nearly perfect. She talks about relevant things but how an actual person would talk about them.
