Saoirse Ronan has said that she simplifies (or mispronounces) her own name because it's easier for non-Irish people to grasp. So she pronounces the name Sur-sha (sur rhymes with purr). The name is usually 'Seer-sha ('seer' to rhyme with near).
it goes so fast bc there are a lot of words in the thesaurus and lots of authors' names to mispronounceI can't believe it's already time for a new thread, this one still feels like the new thread to me! Things move quickly in Rubyland
The planner is the exact same as this years academical planner as the pictures that represent each month are the exact same. Even the key section is exactly the same as the academical planner as it contains the same list, she hasn't changed a single thing as this planner is the exact same and contains the same content it honestly feels like a wasted opportunity as she could have changed this planner to make it look more unique than the academic planner but instead she wants it to be the exact same.
I bet she'll post a story in front of the cinema in her stupid power pose as well.
The thing is though, I don't think Ruby really even knows what her identity is. There's also a word for homebody and momma's girl, and it's arrested development. She wants to be a perpetual child and never leave home. There's not anything wrong with being a homebody necessarily but she also has no real plans for her life at 22 other than stay in her bedroom begging for more ads. She seems to hate youtube, she knows at this point that she's not a real writer, and she knows how difficult a master's would be. She has some real issues she needs to work through but she won't, she'll keep up the ads and poor content. She could transition into cottagecore but I don't think she even has that many ideas. She would just jump from one false identity to the next. She really needs someone to speak sense into her. Her parents won't because they're her biggest enablers, her few friends won't because they only see one side of her, her sister won't because she has a life of her own, we won't because she considers us mean bullies...
ruby it’s okay to be a homebody. Really. If you like movies secretly, you’re allowed to. If all you do is scroll through strudygram all day To see what’s trending that’s cool, too. But really. From one homebody to another, honesty might ruin your brand but you’d be sooooo much less burnt out.
Sure, but what does it mean to be a "developed" person? Its definition has been very fluid over time. If we'd been having this discussion about someone like Ruby 60 years ago, the consensus would have been that Ruby should be married or at least engaged by now. Thirty, even 20 years ago, this thread would have been full of comments about how Ruby really needed to get laid more than anything else. So what are the milestones of healthy development today? Living on one's own? A social life outside of the family? A job? I've known people who have those things and who are still emotionally stunted disasters on the inside. Ruby just wears her stunting on the outside.
Exactly, this is why I think social media is her biggest problem right now. She can't just be herself because she's hooked on having fawning followers who think she's a poet or some tit, and she likes getting free stuff. And it's her only income. So she's locked into putting on this act. I agree that she doesn't have good ideas---she doesn't seem to be naturally creative and even when she does try something different (like this misbegotten trip) she executes it so poorly and with such a lack of commitment and effort. She's well off. Without an online audience, she could have a really comfortable, happy life doing very little and that might eventually allow her to become a healthier person overall.
They never invest any money into it. The only thing that even slightly changes year to year in her planner is a slight change in the dull pastel colours and the dates.
This is giving strong "it's one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?" vibes
18.50 for a spiral bound planner that will get bashed up in a bag very quickly.
I can't believe there are that many mugs out there that will pay full price.I bet with shipping expenses it ends up costing even more especially for international customers. And I checked online and the Moleskine 2023 yearly planner costs only slightly more than this garbage (on Amazon Italia it's €20,50 and currently discounted at €15) Of course they can't sell any of those planners.That's the kind of product you're competing with at that price point18.50 for a spiral bound planner that will get bashed up in a bag very quickly.
They always sell them all eventually, but only because they only order very limited stock and never restock.
