The Men of Gossip Girl

The Men of Gossip Girl

Monday, June 17, 2019

Time to begin this new refreshed blog with some classic American television.

Something I like to call, Gossip Girl.

Oh. What. A. Show.

In the beginning, I ran from gossip girl, I said I cannot handle overly attractive people being mean to one another, until I let my guard down for a shining moment, and bestowed this gift upon my dear eyes and soul.

Honestly, Gossip Girl is such a treat ! Everyone has always said, Brooke this seems like the show for you, and I always try to do the opposite of what people expect from me because of my little Aquarius heart (sorry for the astrology cringe) but I stumbled upon early Blake Lively and I LOVED IT.

I may discuss the entirety of the show on a later date (my apologies for saying that far too often, but I absolutely do not care hehe) But for nowwww I am discussing the heartthrobs of gossip girl, let us begin.

~

Nathaniel (Nate) Archibald

The first man from the upper east side that we must discuss is our dear friend Nathaniel. Now, dear Nathaniel is arguably the most attractive of the bunch and the sweetest, he's got these soulful blue eyes that tells you that he owns a juicer and walks his dog everyday at 6 a.m. and will buy you tulips on his way from work. Absolutely, darling.

Nathaniel caught my eye even further when he became (spoiler) an editor (a dream).

However, although Nathaniel may seem like the perfect man in the butcher shop, he's a bit of a bore, his character complexity begins to diminish as the show gets nearer and nearer to the end, and his story arc has no development whatsoever, now I don't want to blame dear Nathaniel for the faults of a writer, butttttt Nathaniel didn't have much of a personality to begin with, he was just rich boy from next door.

You can count on him to bring the cake to a birthday party that's for sure, but honestly it'd be so easy to read his tarot fortune, you already got him figured out from his lightly combed hair to his relaxed jeans, he is simply just too easy to read. I would quickly bore of him, because I am a terrible person. But I give Nathaniel hope, he seems like the boy that wins in the end (and this is not implying to anything, my apologies)

And personally he won my heart for most of the show until I met another upper east side boi, more on him later.

~

Dan Humphrey

Our next boy, hails from Brooklyn, a city where Blair doesn't even deem livable.

When I first met dear Dan, with his terrible haircut and his negative grungy view on life, I absolutely hated him. I had no idea how he landed with gorgeous Blake lively, ahem Serena Van Der Woodsen, with that terrible head of his.

Exhibit A:

Are you gagging too? He looks like a child kidnapper or a psychopathic murderer. It's absolutely horrid.

And I have this view of Dan for most of the show, which he does have so much potential to be a quality boi, but he is a selfish arse, and a stalker, but that is all I have to say to remain spoiler free. Yes, yes. Although this show did come out ages ago, so if you don't know what happens yet I am mildly disappointed.

Now, Dan, seems like the type of guy that I would end up dating in real life, he likes to read, has curly hair, and is fairly chill and laid-back for the most part. (I always say that Nate is the guy I would go for, but Dan is probably the guy I'd date, funny life funny life)

And, I genuinely begin to love Dan (I know I was shocked too) towards the latter seasons, he just becomes more relatable and his humor and one liners sum up most of my thoughts, I was like finally this is a Dan I pay Netflix for. (I actually don't, my mom does).

Especially when he becomes friends with Blair, it was definitely Dan's prime time, he even looked better and dressed better, ahh Blair is such a good influence I swear.

Here we see him with Blair, if I didn't know his past and his future, I'd hit that.

More examples, I mean look at that perfect hair and jawline, gasp!

Overall, Dan had my heart for probably 5 seconds, but only when he was scheming with Blair and dressing nice. However for past and future transgressions, Dan is labeled as a grade A dick. Because initially you don't expect much from him, you think he's whatever and slightly annoying and he makes you think that he's the underdog and the secret hero, when in reality we all know it's Nate, so step off of your pedestal Daniel, xoxo.

~

Charles (Chuck) Bass

Yes, we have finally reached the man of the hour. And no please don't attack me, I love a good Chuck Bass. And, yes in the beginning I thought he was absolutely revolting and nowhere nearly as good looking as heroic Nathaniel (who I had a crush on for most of the show, ahhh what a dreamboat) but something about Chuck's charm or multi colored bowties, caught me entirely.

His entire story arc and character development in the show is probably one of the most impressive ones I have seen, his love for Blair transcends him, and it's wonderful.

His love and admiration for Blair, his sacrificial love for Blair, is enough to make anyone swoon and rip their heart out for him.

After season 1, when he decides to fix his terrible hair (I guess it was a season 1 trend) he looks rather attractive in a British captain of the guard sort of sense. Oh he is such a dreamboat, what a brooding, gorgeous face.

Chuck overall is very humorous, witty, snarky, egotistical (but in an endearing way), caring (later in the show), and just a fun multi complex, edgy boi. Aka Brooke's dream.

In the beginning of watching Gossip Girl, you think "I love Nate, I shall cheer for Dan, and for Chuck you hope he just fixes his hair and stops wearing scarves." But oh boy oh boy did I underestimate sir Bass. He is after all, Chuck Bass, and I should have known from the beginning that he would have captured my heart.

Oh that suave man he is, although he is not perfect (and he admits it, unlike some people, sir Daniel) he is constantly trying to atone for his past transgressions and wants to be a better man, and I kind of give sir Bass a pass, because his life hasn't necessarily been easy, except for the part of him never going hungry and having his own limo, but I digress.

Chuck Bass, works hard, plays hard, and is the complicated, tortured soul, well dressed, man we all want. 

Sir Bass, surprisingly won my heart in the end, (more like season 2), but he is the best man out of this trio.

Oh how far they have come.

Also click here to find out which gossip girl boi is for you, I got Chuck Bass of course. People do say I am Blair so it works out for me !!!

Let me know who your gossip girl soul mate is, and have a good day.

Oh my. 

It's been too long.

But I am not apologizing dear internet. Not today, Satan.

Because madame Brooke is back with a vengeance.

Ok, not really, I am wayyyy too lazy for that, but I am back with the sun rising because I shall be posting more. And, yes, I know I said I would last time and now it's been 3 months so I have nothing to say about that, but now it's Summer and I am fresh and flighty and writing it up now.

You're welcome, so stop bombarding me, thank you.

So much has happened within the 3 months I have been gone, and for the better, I suppose.

Madame Brooke has elevated, I have chopped off more inches of my hair and I have a bob now which is one of the best decisions I have ever made in this life, and I intend to have that be on my tombstone. I also got highlights which make me appear as if I've been in the Maldives for days. Fantastic. So long virgin hair. 

I have grown (not literally, I am still 5'2) and learned so much, I now have the wisdom of a fancy, well traveled, elegant witch. And I am living for it.

But don't worry my dear internet people, I shall bestow my knowledge upon you, but only in future posts, witchy Brooke is here to help !

 I have also discovered great shows, great music, great books, great people, and magic stones (more on that later)

I got into Gossip Girl, which I never thought I would, but I did, and I am so happy that I found the wondrous duo of Chuck and Blair. Ahhhh my heart still aches for their beauty. More on that later of course. Hehe.

I have jumped into the murder mystery book genre, and I am adoringgggg it. How come no one ever told me murder mysteries were impeccable? 

Gosh, I have become a detective in my own right after reading Agatha Christie (an author goddess) and Gillian Flynn, I have been having dreams where I must solve crimes (and I do an excellent job, may I add)

So many interests, so many experiences, so many learning curves that I must share them allllll.

Don't you just loveeeeee all the foreshadowing that is happening?

I know, that I ammmmmmm.

Yum, I love a good foreshadow.

And, please inform me what you would like me to talk about, if you have any questions for me. Madame Brooke is here with allll the answers, even math ones because I love a good algebra.

Au revoir, dear internet, this is the refreshed, reinstated, rendering of madame Brooke, thank you and good night.

~

To sign off, I shall be placing an attractive man that I have been adoring, you're welcome !

Yes, it is a young Brad Pitt in glasses and drinking Evian, I can just imagine him reading an Agatha Christie novel right now to me, in this attire. Insert dreamy sigh. Sighhhhhhhh.

Ok ciao, I'm hungry.

March Madness (No Basketball Involved)

March Madness (No Basketball Involved)

Sunday, March 17, 2019

Well, well, well, well, well.

My deepest apologies to every man, woman, and child for my absence.

But its been a hell of a year. 

(I know that 2019 has only lived for like, 3 months, but shut up)

I suppose I should start out by saying happy March. March is such a hopeful month, you know? Like, I am finally seeing birds, I guess they are back from the south or wherever they go. I actually see my neighbors, I can see the ugly snow melting on the mountain, I see a dandelion on my lawn. Like, people I am hopeful. 

Such a good time, my body is ready for spring, my mind is ready for spring, my dog is ready for spring. Just where the hell is Spring? Bring it here, mother nature, bring it to me nowwwwwwww.

Anyway sorry about that. I occasionally get carried away or whatever.

Hmm what can I say? Well, I turned 20 last month. Yes, that is right, 20. Calm down, I know it's hip and I know you're sad that you didn't get me a present, but its totes cool, I forgive you ya wanker.

I am very happy to be 20, what a good age, amiright? Such a good, even, pretty number. Such a number. It's honestly surprising that I have lived for 2 decades and managed to not get hit by a bus or murdered during this time. How magical.

I had a good birthday, I really did. I ate tacos and cake, as one does when they celebrate birth. I threw a party that was a murder mystery party, I was not the murderer unfortunately but the kit did cost me 30 dollars so I was kind of hoping I'd be murdered but whatevs, we are moving on from that. 

I got a new bag and snake mules because that's me in a sentence. And ooooh I got a really nice bronzer from milk makeup that makes me look like I came back from Ibiza or that a pixie bit me and now I look constantly glowy. Whatever comes to your mind first. SO, that is very nice.

ALSO, another birthday present was Ariana Grande's album. Yes that gal. She released it on my birthday, how sweet of her, don't cha think? Very kind, very generous. What a bop of an album. And if you disagree that is A-OK, but I honestly don't think I can talk to you any longer. And before you ask yes,  NASA is one of my favs on that song. It makes me laugh. 

What else have I been up to? Well, I watched Umbrella Academy, that was something. Definitely was something. I enjoyed it, except I thought Vanya was such a whiner, like shut up, no one cares your childhood sucked, welcome to half of the population. The best thing about that show was Klaus. I want him to be my friend, I want to go on a road trip with him, and I want him to bake me a pie. Honestly, what a guy.

My love for Jude Law has been revamped, especially since Instagram thought it would be a good idea to have Jude Law grace my timeline with these bad boys:

I mean wipe that drool off of your face, Shaniqua, that is disgusting. 

And clearly, I am talking to myself, because how the hell could you not drool with this man staring at you? I want scientists to research that, thank you very much.

OH I have also been really into mini skirts lately, only problem is that I got keep em stems moisturized and shaved which is a hassle but it's worth it for em mini skirts, amiright? I'm right, don't sass me. 

Mini skirts, are just this like powerful pieces of clothing. Like a coat. I mean there is nothing like Mini Skirt Energy (MSE). Apparently MSE stands for mean square error, but who the hell cares? Mathematicians yes but we don't like them anyway.

#MSE

Please tweet that for me, my subjects.

What else has happened you may ask? Well, I've gotten really into astrology, like really into it. Like I am practically an expert. More like I just look at astrology memes on instagram all day, but no regrets. None. 

I can say things like "Pisces season sucks" because it most definitely does. We were recently in Aquarius season, and I was beaming, I was glittering, I was sparkling, I was on top of a mountain and living it up with all the birds in the sky. Yes, long analogy I know, but I think it works.

Aquarius season was just for me (because I am an Aquarius, fun fact of the decade) and it allowed me to be fresh as a junebug. HOWEVER, Pisces season does not like me, I have been an emotional wreck and literally sleep at random times of the day. And I mean this isn't shocking because this tends to be a normal thing, but this time it's different. Which is clearly obnoxious because I have missed so much class and ended up failing my history exam. This could also be because of mercury retrograde, but who knows, all I know is that this is hella poop. And I am currently waiting for Aries season, because no one needs emotions, they get in the way of so many things, I swear.

Also this is a representation of me: 

This is so accurate it hurts.

Also can I just say that Twitter has been popping? I should make a post of the best tweets I have seen because literally Instagram, ciao, I am laughing on Twitter.

Anyway, I honestly don't know what else to talk about. I think I've covered the gist of my 2019 time. Maybe I'll say more later or not. Maybe I will forget about this blog again until someone asks me about it (Hello, Emily) or maybe I will post more, oooh ask me advice people, I'd love to be Dr. Phil. I think I honestly give great advice. I mean I am not good at taking my own, but yes I am good at serving it Shaniqua. So let miss empress Brooke, know what is tearing at your seams and imma help you out.

Or not.

But I do love a good form of bribery soooooooo.

Bribe me. I'll give you my Venmo, but I also really love snickerdoodles and fries.

Also, I do apologize for the lack of basketball in the post, yes I know what basketball is. But honestly I don't watch it, I mean I did watch it in high school and thought it was fun, but the only way I am going to another basketball game is if a handsome guy came strutting along with a basketball ticket, then boy, I will know everything about basketball. Guaranteed. 

~

OK, ciao.

(Above is a representation of me, clearly.)

New Year New Melons

New Year New Melons

Monday, December 31, 2018

Molasses. Metamorphic. Melon.

M words.

Yes, I did google words that begin with 'm' because I would have slit my throat if I had to write 'New Year New M...' I am not finishing that sentence. Can't get blood on this keyboard, too messy, you know?

Why, hello, internet. How are you? How was Christmas? Did you eat Santa's chocolate head? I didn't. I ate hash-browns. With ketchup. 

Ok to be honest I am not here to discuss Christmas. No siree. That ship has sailed. That planet has rotated. We are six days away from that, it's New Years Eve.

And, I get excited for New Years Eve, because I am already tired of the year and I am ready to wear white and welcome the new year.

Yo, 2019, how's it going? Wanna go shopping? Cool. Cool. Cool.

So, I am half Brazilian and Brazilians are obsessed with New Year celebrations. We wear white to ask  for peace in the new year and enter it fresh and clean.

We wear gold accessories to ask for money in the new year.

We don't eat food that walk backwards because we don't want the year to go backwards. So, that means I have eaten so much fish. (They don't swim backwards fun fact.) EDUCATION.

So, I always welcome the new year in white. Why aren't you, psycho?

Anyway, I am excited. I turn 20. I can become tan again in Summer. Lana Del Rey's new album comes out. New Avengers (where you at Spiderman?). And I am just ready to see what freaking happens, you know? Perhaps I'll watch grass grow or own an army of chickens, and then if one bothers me I'll eat it.

Ooooh I really hope for that last one. Beware of my chickens. They come with a birdlike vengeance. 

Now, I didn't exactly come up with resolutions, I'm not a resolution person. I never keep my promises and I am lazy. So, why start the new year with failure, you know? 

I just ignore it. But I suppose there are some things I would like to accomplish, like I would love to travel more but I probs won't unless someone showers me with money ASAP. 

I don't know I'd like to be more social? Perhaps. I don't know I spent the beginning of 2018 staying at home with my dog. Now I wanna go out and eat with people. But you know I don't necessarily regret staying with my dog binge watching Vampire Diaries. I learned a lot.

But 2018 was interesting, I like watching it from afar. Like I went to Brazil for the first time, almost got kidnapped, drank coconut water, and almost stepped on sea urchins, yay!

I rediscovered my love for Damon Salvatore. Remembered the beauty of Jude Law. Anyone seen him in the 90's? What a masterpiece.

I joined the school newspaper, wrote some snazz stuff. Had to participate in a meditating event which I totally do not recommend, especially since they kept talking about vegan bacon. What the heck is that?

Ooooh and who can forget that I chopped all my hair off? Oh what a freeing, beautiful time.

I look snazzy people. Snazzy. Short hair is my new BFF.

Anyway, those are some highlights from 2018 I suppose. I'm sure other things happened but I just ate a bunch of fish and am super distracted right now, but it wasn't too shabby. Not too shabby yo. 

You know, internet. Forget resolutions those are poop. Just be happy and if you want to improve yourself do it ya know? But don't pressure yourself, don't enter the year stressed. You have the whole year to do things, and who knows what will happen.

Maybe you'll meet a vampire or run over a deer. Who knows? You know?

But I will make one resolution, I will write more on this boxed up blog thing.

Per request of Brianna, I see you Shaniqua! 

~

Ok and one last Damon gif of the year, hello!

And then for my new current obsession sounding off the new year, Mr. Young Jude Law, my dream man.

Ok, I am done. Leave me alone now. 

Ciao.

I'm Just Here For Salem

I'm Just Here For Salem

Thursday, December 6, 2018

Why hello, internet, good to see you again.

How's it going?

Watched any good shows in my absence?

I hope so, you hermit!

Ok, so this article came about because I decided to watch a little ole show on Netflix called the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is good but lacks the Salem I need and want in life.

If you don't know what I am talking about then first, how dare you, sir? And, second, let me educate ya.

So, Salem is the cool cat, that used to be a warlock but is now just a cat, he is literally the best thing on this planet and television and I grew up with him while he was acting it up on the show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch with that blonde lady in the 90s. 

And, oh Salem was my fav, he had the hippest, most sarcastic, and snazziest personality in this dimension, so I was excited when I heard he would be in the new Sabrina Netflix show.

HOWEVER, I was very disappointed.

THERE WAS NO SARCASTIC HIP CAT.

I think Salem literally says like 3 words to Sabrina, and he's not even in cat form when he does it. I am watching this Netflix series and thinking how Salem would never just willy nilly follow Sabrina around, he'd set up some ground rules and then insult her if she did anything stupid, much to what I was doing while watching the show.

So, before I review the Sabrina Netflix TV show, I THOUGHT I could share my favorite Salem moments and quotes from that 90's show, and let us reminisce a bit on Salem's magic since we are obviously without it on this Netflix bop.

Let us begin, my internet people.

1. 

First is this little number of Salem in his grooving habitat. Living the hip life of a cat.

2.

He sure knows how to deal with the ladies and empathy! 

3.

It's great to see how in tuned Salem is with his emotions, very nice.

4. 

Well Salem, you and I have something in common if I do say so myself.

5.

Clearly likes a good Elton John now and then, and a crown, me too, Salem, me too.

6.

I mean who doesn't want to take over the world? And this just shows that snazzy Salem is determined to do so. Follow your dreams, kids!

7.

Mr. Cat knows what he wants in life, and you should too.

8. 

Loves some privacy, and expects it. Personal bubble people.

9.

An honest little fella, he speaks the truth and the whole truth. Deal with it.

10.

Knows how to grab the attention of the room. Pay close attention, everyone.

11.

He knows 2 languages, how impressive.

12.

Knows what really matters in life.

~

And, that is all dear internet. If you wish to see a part 2, because Salem is forever filled with amazing moments, let this girl know.

You're welcome, I am off, with this last beauty and my dream job.

Ciao.

The Men of Mamma Mia

The Men of Mamma Mia

Monday, November 26, 2018

Hello dear internet, I am here today, to rant. 

I know what you're thinking, "But Brooke everyday I hear people complaining and I want some fresh air of happiness and joy."

I say bah humbug to that Shaniqua. 

Because this is some fresh air that you need to hear, and that is the analyzation of the young, attractive men of Mamma Mia 2.

Now, I was deathly ill a week ago and decided to rent some Mamma Mia 2, because my mother said it was better than the first one, (I think she only said that because there were young, fresh guys) so I paid that pricey sum of 5 dollars and hit that play button.

And, boy was I surprised. 

First, the movie is no good, sorry fans but its a piece of poo. And I have done with out.

However, what I paid very close attention to, were the three men from young Donna's life, yes sir, I am talking about young Sam, young Bill, and young Harry, in case you had forgotten. 

Here's a reference pic:

Ok, so I know the whole blob story of how Donna slept with all three men in a very short amount of time between each one and then ends up pregnant by one of them (my best bet is that it's Sam but that's just me.)

And, let me tell ya when I saw the previews for this movie, I thought, "Dang, young Sam is cute, marry me young Sam, hallo." Also I had previously taken a quiz to which young man I'd end up with and they said Sam, and I was ecstatic.

UNTIL I LEARNED THAT SAM IS A SLEAZE BALL. AND TASTELESS.

Young Sam is the epitome of a toolbag, he literally also has no personality, he's like plain toast. 

First, he just takes this girl to his tiny cabin after saving some rando horse and instantly does the devil tango with her. AND DID I MENTION WHILE ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING AND HE IS WITH DONNA FOR LIKE A WEEK OR SOMETHING HE HAS A POOPING FIANCE.

Yes, the man is not only the color beige BUT he is also a lying, cheating cheeseball.

I can not handle it.

And, yes some may defend him and say, "Oh but he came back for her." I DON'T GIVE A POOP, he should have never gotten in the relationship in the first place or should have dumped his fiancé via pigeon mail and stayed with Donna on the remote island. 

Yes, Sam, you fooled me with your pretty eyes and charming smile and cool bomber jacket and hip motorcycle skills and being a lover of animals and saving them and having a cute cottage on a Grecian island and having bomb photography skills and just looking finnnnnneeee all the dang long time.

Um, yes you FOOLED ME SIR YOU FOOLED ME I HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES YOU HANDSOME MAN. 

~

Ok next guy, it's HARRY'S TURN.

I'll keep it short because Harry didn't betray my heart. Because simply I didn't care for Harry.

I just thought he was some weird guy. I mean he literally knows this girl for like 5 seconds and then begs her to sleep with him. Bro, step back.

I didn't have high hopes for him, I mean seems like a sweet guy but ultimately could be a psycho. I'm done with him. NEXT.

~ 

Now for young Mr. Bill.

OK BILL SHOCKED ME. HE SHOCKED ME. I HAVE BEEN FLOORED.

This is what I have to say about Bill and I am not proud of what I thought before seeing the film. 

When I saw the previews I saw young Bill, and I was like "Hmmm he's not as cute as Sam, so totes not rooting for him" I also thought old Bill was freaky so definitely did not give any hope for Bill.

BUT BOY WAS I FOOLED (BUT IN A GOOD WAY.)

Bill turned out to be the best guy.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? Not me, sir. 

Once you saw him in action, you realized that his sweet smile and charming blue eyes just suddenly pulls you in, and you're like "Bill let's sail off into the sunset!"

I mean what? Why did he not look as cute as in the previews as he did in the film? Is it his boyish charm? His humorous outlook? His cute sailor outfit that pulled it all together? I am not sure, but whatever it is the film made him popping.

First, he actually respects Donna, I mean he for sure wants to sleep with her too, but he's not begging her or anything he is just joking with her and having fun. He also doesn't really try anything and drops her off at the island, and is like ciao, girl, hope to see ya later.

Um yes please.

And THEN HE COMES BACK WHEN POOP SAM LEAVES.

AND SHE FALLS INTO HIS ARMS, HE HAS RESCUED HER. YES PLEASE.

AND THEN HE CHEERS HER UP BECAUSE HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD.

A HEART OF GOLD.

And, then he is still respectful till the end! And waits for Donna to make a move because he is respectful! RESPECT, tell me what that means to me.

Cute, charming, and funny Bill sailed his way into my heart, and I was SHOCKED.

~

This film's previews TRICKED ME. I thought I'd be head over heels for Sam, but what is that? Bill coming in hot? What? What a magical thing, I do declare.

Ah Bill yes you win, I announce you best from the three, congrats, Shaniqua.

Also, click here to find out which one your soulmate is, took it again and mine is still Sam, but everyone says I go for the douches anyway, so I guess its a fate I cannot escape. Sigh.

Let me know who you think was the best man and who is your soulmate from Mamma Mia.

Ok, Ciao.

~

P.S.  We all know the best man is still Damon.

Why It's Ok To Say No: A Ballad

Why It's Ok To Say No: A Ballad

Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Hello dear ole internet people, how's it going? Having a snazzy day? 

I totally am, I got my hair chopped off and I am living the easy. breezy, beautiful covergirl life.

But even though my luscious locks are popping I am here with an announcement for the internet.

If you were paying attention and being the stalker I hope you are, I recently posted an article on how to friendzone someone. Great advice, no? 

However it has come to my attention that there is still an issue with saying no to dates.

And, I am here to tell you that IT'S OK TO SAY NO.

In my previous post I jokingly said how I was the reject queen, how my friends laughed with how many times I've said no to a date. But even though I have people that joke about it, there's still some cruelty there.

I've been called shallow, rude, mean, a female dog, and countless other things because I decided to say no to a date.

Or, and my personal favorite, crazy, because I am missing out on free food.

Free Food?

You think that I am going to go on a date with someone just for the sake of free food? 1) I would feel awful eating that food because I was not enjoying myself and knowing that I was using the guy, 2) I got food at my own casa thank you very much, and at my casa I can eat and watch Vampire Diaries.

There's just this little veil hanging around everyone's heads that you have to say yes to a date, listen you do not have to say yes to a date, and saying no does not make you shallow or rude or crazy, it shows that you have free will and can choose how you wish to spend your time.

And I don't know if it's a sexist thing or not, but I know when someone asks me on a date and I don't want to go, everyone says, 'be nice, Brooke, say yes' 

My question is, why do I have to be nice? If I do not want to go on said date, I shouldn't have to go on said date. And this could be for any reason whatsoever, I can say no, and people should respect that answer, whether that person asked me or the people who know about the situation.

So, yes, say no. Say no like your heart depends on it.

If you don't want to go, don't go, tell people you don't wish to go on the date, you have no obligation to go on a date with someone just because they asked.

It's not like you are going to enter a Ponzi scheme just because they ask. Make your own decisions, stick by them, and take that burden off your shoulders.

Hopefully, we can move pass the fact that it's ok to say no to a date, and so people don't have to worry about it.

Now, listen I've been on my fair share of awful dates (there are proximately 5 bad dates, that I'd love to share at a later date) and I wish so badly that I had said no, there were times that I even said yes because I didn't want to hurt the person's feelings or get called names by those around me. 

I would much rather just hurt those guys feelings than to ever live out those dates again.

So, say no. Say it like Meghan Trainor in her song NO circa back to 2016.

I'll actually leave the link here. So you can listen to it while reading this post.

Sigh, yes that was great to type out, and I know this post was a tad bit serious which strays a bit from my usual Damon obsessed path, but I felt like it was needed and tied well with the friendzone article. And as I mentioned in the friendzone article, say no, but be nice about it please!

Ok people let me know if you've said no recently (and in a nice way!) I want to see the evidence of free will, thank you very much.

Ok, ciao.
