fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

never had a problem with it, really.

In most of the places I grew up, plaid if a timeless look so its really hard to see the "fad" aspect of it.

fuck
if = is

There's just a specific look that I'm ready for people to move on from, and it looks kinda like this:

but replace flip flops with black converse or topsiders or something

It's just time for change!

you guys all missed the *NOT ACTUALLY NEW* part of my post jesus

post-jesus

so sick of post-jesus freaks

Hahah nah I didnt miss it! I was just bein' ornery ;P

I never listened to DC Talk, post-"Jesus Freak."

right-wingers being given the time of day

damn if i'll show a tea-bagger my watch

combination of "tea-bagger" and your display name made me lol.

:D

"[insert name of douchey friend] just tweeted that to me."

Tweet/twat/twoot/twote...just the use of the word 'twitter' in a sentence is so awkward and irritating it makes me want to throw punches. I don't hate Twitter...I just hate the tweeting twats who talk about it.

were i involving myself in this thread i might say something like what do you want ppl to say exactly?

Messaged is too simple?

eh i mean say what you want about the world we live in but messaged isn't really specific enough in a lot of situations

and 46.) "Mad Men" becoming the universal reference point for anything mid-century modernist.

i watched a short film online that was filmed in the streets of manhattan in the late '70s. one of the commenters was like "omg it's all so mad men." no. no, it's not.

maybe they were talking about mad men season 14

55) talking about urban planning with people

being part of that field, it's something i often end up talking about w/ people whether i feel like it or not. i don't mind so much except when they're all "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX TRAFFIC" -- i want to say "when you stop driving so much."

a quiality riposte

I've lost my englsh ;_;

idk what number we're at but here's a serious entry:

people complaining about socialism without a concept of what socialism actually entails

it's just... it works both ways. "fixing traffic" often means cultivating multimodal transportation (cars/buses/trains/complete streets), but multimodal transportation also needs support from the people if it's going to get any funding/political traction. if you use the roadways, you contribute to traffic. so think about your own part in all of it.

xpost

I wasn't being sarcastic! It is just especially amusing to me bcz I don't have a car.

same here! i don't really want to drive, but i'm finally giving in and getting my license because i'm tired of people treating me like i'm the town drunk because i ride the bus.
