I took a quick glance over the book He's Just Not That Into You out of curiosity, and it's quite the brainless self-help book. Apparently, some people need a book to understand what common sense looks like on paper. All it does is take things we already know ("he's not into you if he's married, not dating you, not calling you," et cetera) and apply it into a book. It even comes off as sexist at times. I'll just sit here and wonder why anyone bothered turning this into a movie.

In lighter news, I got a 40/40 on that monologue I wrote. I'm not going to jump around and show just anyone, because it's still embarrassing and I can't believe I have to read this in class. D:

Oh yeah, and I totally bought that book for my sister as an insult. :)

LOL. How did that go?

I remember my eldest brother's girlfriend was browsing through it when it came out. I knew it was stupid even back then.

Both the book and movie look so stupid. I wanted the book when I was younger and now I'm like "WHY DO YOU NEED A BOOK FOR STUFF YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW?!?!?" LOL!

I didn't even want it when I was in high school. It's really just repeating everything people or us women folk already know.

Greg Behrendt was a much better comedian than he was a self-proclaimed self-help guru.

I never heard any of his comedy acts, but I saw Greg Behrendt on a news station when there were talks about the book being turned into a movie. He sounded so full of himself. :\

That's the tragic part! He wasn't always a bag of douche!

It's a shame to see good guys or girls turn into Karens in front of our eyes. :(
