WATCH ME RANT ABOUT ARTICLES AGAIN

(Or Nope. Sorry, Nope. I Disagree with Your Purity Opinions)

Every now and then, I see stuff on the internet (*cough* I'm looking at you, Facebook *cough*) and foolishly click on it. This time, it was an article titled 5 Lies That Make Sexual Purity More Difficult, and I wondered what lies could there possibly be? Folks decide not to have sex until marriage. What's the lie in that?

I must say I was very pleasantly surprised at first. Before the shit hit the fan. (Yes, I'm taking a clear stand here. I have nothing against purity itself and people who decide for it. It's their choice, and I respect that. I just find the reasoning a bit... Well. Let's just say there's a reason for this post).

HISTORY SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN NOVELS

(Or How a Name Could Be So Much More Than Just a Name)

Writing historically accurate novels about every important event and/or person may sound like a strange idea. It certainly seems impossible, and most likely is, too. That doesn't mean learning history wouldn't be a lot better this way, though.

SO... THE EU ELECTIONS HAPPENED

(Or OMG, Would People Just Vote?!)

I don't spend much time thinking about politics. In fact, I avoid politics like a plague. But then this is more about people than politicians, so I guess it can be excused...


Right. The election for the EU parliament.Not really a big deal in Slovenia. Well, not compared to other elections. But the attitude... God, the attitude. I really don't understand people. Okay, maybe a bit. I get that some people think everything is hopeless and are completely apathetic when it comes to politics. After all, it seems the people (or at least some of them) who are supposed to be leading this country, are too busy proving how much better they are than the other parties to remember they're actually there to serve the people. Yeah, that's right. Somebody should tell them that.

BEHIND ROMANTIC COMEDIES

(Or Why Do They Think a Happy Ending Can Make Us Overlook a Tragedy)

It was just my (bad) luck that I managed to stumble upon one disturbing romantic comedy after another in the last few months. Not to say they're not all cheesy, but sometimes, they're cheesy in a positive and funny way (really, TPTB tend to forget the "comedy" part in "romantic comedy" way too often). And sometimes, they're just... well. They don't work.

I'll rant about three films here, namely Letters to Juliet, The Accidental Husband, and Leap Year.

 No worries, I'm not planning to bore you with summaries. I'll just focus on what they all have in common, and why it bothers me.
