On October 3rd, he asked
me what day it was. "It's October 3rd."
I have to say, I LOVE all
of the Mean Girls quotes blowing up my twitter and facebook already. October 3rd,
National Mean Girls Day, is the perfect excuse to quote Regina, Gretchen,
Karen, Cady, and all your other favorite characters from the defining movie of
our generation--even my dad loves Mean Girls!
Mean Girls Confession:
During my last fall semester in the sorority I won the Gretchen Weiner’s
Superlative, “That’s Why Her Hair is So Big…” and while I thought it was pretty
funny, still slightly embarrassing to admit to.
While we all love to laugh
at the iconic movie quotes, like the time Gretchen got diarrhea at Barnes & Nobles or
going to Taco Bell to do something fun, I can really appreciate what Tina Fey
was getting at when she wrote this screen play. When we think about “mean girls”
in our lives, we usually think about the times that we were victimized…not the
times we victimized others.
With October being
National Bully Prevention Month, I wanted to take this chance to post a recording
of anchor Jennifer Livingston’s reply to an email she received from an
anonymous email.
Whether you agree or disagree with what she said, it still doesn’t give us a right to put someone down that way. I think Jennifer’s idea was right on point—don’t you think the gap-toothed bitch from Mean Girls already knew she was gap-toothed?! Chances are, that was something she hated about herself and now, you’ve just reminded her of it. Why are we defining her self-worth by the thing she likes least about herself?
Taco Bell for thought,
kittens.
