Drinking beer in college? Say it ain't so melon! :gasp:
I dunno... take these things for what they are... I find it funny, just because the author has a lot of the same characteristics as the one he's writing about. Both are vying for attention. It's insecure dialogue and, while some people would argue that it takes security to wear pink and wear all those things like "Oliver" wears that look stupid, it isn't so much out of security as need for recognition - and in the end, that's the intent of both.
Of course, when I call my girlfriend's friend a douchebag, I'm doing so for a few different reasons... Real reasons. Not 'oh man, he wears pink and is therefore a fag lol omgImclever'. Reasons like him saying 'Elanna is a better friend then you' three days after my girlfriend saved him from a drug overdose when, of course, Elanna couldn't be bothered to stay up late talking to him that night so, you know, clearly she cares so much more. Whether that statement is true or not, regardless of circumstances, doesn't make it any less rude to start a conversation with. And rudeness, there's been him randomly showing up to her (my girlfriend's) apartment and insisting on using her printer, because he 'doesnt like the way the ink looks' on his, without having called first, even though he lives on the other side of the city and its way the hell out of the way (when she tried to turn him away he said 'So I came all this fucking way for nothing? Thanks a lot.'). He eats her food without asking and then complains that she 'doesnt have anything good', makes long distance calls at her house because he doesn't want to pay for his own, forgets her birthday every single year, argues with her about Led Zeppelin and the Doors (she is a LZ/D's Goddess) and even when liner notes and official documents say he's wrong he insists that he's still right, he claims to be Jim Morrison reincarnated (which is wrong, because Jim Morrison wasn't a total asshat), and then there was the time that he said she should break up with me because apparently I'm "boring and don't have any -real- character". Yeah. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
Of course, according to him, I just hate him because I'm jealous (of what, I'm not sure?) and occassionally because he's "French". Seriously. I can't make this kind of shit up. Because he's French.
