Selfie Rant

I don't understand why girls like to post pictures of themselves with captions of supposedly deep quotes (mostly self-coined) or song lyrics like...

"You don't know how much it hurts to miss someone~"

or

"Tell me again, was it love at first sight; when I walked by and you caught my eye~"

That's my favourite song, by the way. Deer in the Headlights by Owl City.

Anyway, what I want to say is that I'm fine with it if the quote is truly relevant to the picture or if you are gushing about your favourite song or whatever.
Even doing it once or twice would be fine.
But if half the posts on your wall are just pictures of you staring into the camera with your best 'come-hither, look at me aren't I pretty' face, just STOP IT.
It drives me nuts.
Can you believe some of these girls have multiple accounts in Facebook because they have too many fans? I'm sure the fans must like them for their pretty faces wondrous words of wisdom!

To top it off, I've seen a couple of misquotes. Obviously, these girls wanted to stand out from the crowd of other girls doing the exact same thing, so they reckoned they would need better quotes. Would be nice if they bothered to run a quick Google search. I saw a bad Thomas Edison quote by a pouting, blushing girl.

"Success is 1% education and 99% efforts~ take that you haters who said I was dump, cuz education is gonna make you dumper~ Ain't nobody going to take me down!"

I hate to go all Grammar Nazi on you guys, but firstly, 'effort' not 'efforts' and I think she meant 'dumb'... People who don't bother to get their words right irk me, because it reflects badly on your effort to get things right, and I'm sure you wouldn't do the same if it was your resume. But I'm assuming that she knows how to spell...
Perhaps she doesn't and my earlier rant might be all for naught. I hope not. But anyway if she doesn't know how to spell... Shame on her!(trying to save my argument haha)

Second, she has a serious logical error there. True, education may not be everything but it isn't going to make you dumber just because it isn't as important as other things.

Third, I'm pretty sure that is a misquote from Edison. Hello, ever heard of something called Google?

Lastly, if she wanted to get back at her haters who are calling her dumb and all, she should post a picture of her doing meaningful things like doing volunteer work or teaching poor kids or even pretending to read a book...
If you really want, you can keep the thoughtful pout while reading a book. At least look intellectual so these haters can realise you are a thoughtful, intelligent individual.
But no, you just had to post a picture that will fit exactly into their stereotype of you as an airhead and dumb white chick (no offense intended!- just stating a stereotype).

Also another kind of attention-seekers will do these sort of quotes:

"You don't know how much it hurts, when you left me that day~"

What their intentions are: Maybe if I post up a quote about an imaginary situation, people will start to pay more attention to me and ask me what happened. And I will add a completely unrelated photo of myself, and maybe my crush will notice how pretty I am and ask me out.

Also related:

"Why am I so ugly and everyone else so perf, urgh! Sorry for this dork face~"

When the girl looks perfectly fine and in fact is trying really hard to look pretty.

Okay, rant over. Now I shall post a meme that sums up this whole selfie business. Enjoy.

...Uh yeah that's me
