Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

[sunniva]

Reading for pleasure sounds so weird to me like she's reading erotica. I know she means that she reads stuff unrelated to her studies, but the wording is funny.

Came here to say this

That phrase always strikes me as something people who aren’t very literary say. So teacher-like and awkward. Like ‘’yes I’m reading for PLEASURE - can you believe I am actually ENJOYING this very good BOOK’’ haha. Very ~doth protest too much~.

I guess it helps to establish that she, Very Intellectual Person, does Other Reading. If asked, I just talk about what books I'm reading and never discuss how I'm currently grappling with Habermas' tome on the public sphere or whatever. If you were to ask me about Jilly Cooper OTOH...

Because I get to roll around all I want today, I said what the heck and watched another old video of Rumbsters. She's getting ready for university, making lists of the lists she would need to make, because her university is in whole another magical land where not even grocery shops exist.

She says she's the vice president of the Harry Potter Society, and there is an event for the freshmen. She's supposed to write some questions and send them out? Rumbster claims she "came up with" 30 questions or so, but she just calmly copies from online quizzes lmao Harry Potter is like the one series of books she actually read, she's still can't let go of how she didn't get to be Hermione Granger, and yet she can't write down interesting and fun and tricky questions? No passion, no creativity, no effort whatsoever.

Here is a question about Dumbledore's scar on buzzfeed?

And here's Rumbster's question

She could have just said, I looked up some questions that we could use, and also made up some of my own ones, but nooooo. holy tit that quality is rit

And here's her "very strange looking lasagna". If someone did this to food in front of me, I'd throw them out the window.

But mostly I felt bad for this oven, including its the poor door, that has obviously seen more horror than I ever will in my life.

Bonus points if you noticed the fly.

Oh here's the top comment

I don't know, it seems these "other girls" made the better choice by not having cereal with WATER for breakfast.

 

[Larancia]

Cereal with water is the opposite of wholesome in my opinion

See how I pose in my £255 cardigan? Very relatable, very demure. I don’t pose with my head in a natural position like some girls, I hold it at a cutesy angle. My smile? I don’t go for a real smile, I keep my grimace very forced and very fake, again very demure, very pre-autumn

I like the mini to-do list in the top left:

• August photos.
• Lie.
• Pre-Autumn.

It doesn't matter how much that sweater costs. It is way too big on her and she looks ridiculous and like a slob. I know people with ED's have a tendency to wear oversized clothes to hide their body, but this looks plain sloppy.

At least she admits that she lies!

 

[Griftwood]

Oh god, brace yourselves, Rootabaga and 16th-designated match are about to have another VARRY KOINDLY SPONSARED playdate.

 

[Mr.Mistoffelees]

Virginia Woolf must be rolling in her grave to be described as "simple" by Ruby, of all people.

 

[emmer_moans]

I can't believe she's wearing that thick, oversized cardigan when it's been over 20 degrees the past few weeks...

UGH, I am not familiar with Jade except for a dumb video where she explained that she went to my hometown and said people in Buenos Aires spontaneously dance without a care in the world, which is untrue, ridiculous, and slightly stereotyping. But, then again, she is incredibly privileged and lived in a super expensive neighborhood so ....

I'd take everything she says about her being "bullied" with a mountain of salt.

It's yet another thing she lies about but doesn't have the brainpower to keep her lies consistent, so it's a wildly different story every time she tells it.

I reckon if one person said something negative about her, in her head that’s “bullying”.

The comment... "Not like the Other girls" apparently means you can't take two minutes of your damn life to check at a name before writing it so you feel the need to emphasize the fact you don't "care" about how you spell that name because it's just a fashion thing for "Other girls", who cares about THAT?
Yeah that kind of arrogant attitude is so "wholesome".

What? Reading for pleasure, you say?! I only ever read for pain.

 

[threeSMEGfridges]

She’s trying to be one of those Asian study girls who only show 1/2 their face for “privacy”

 

[Whisper2Me]

Honestly, it must be killing her that everyone is getting ready to go back to school and she isn't. We all know how much she treasures her childhood days and wants to constantly identify as a student embracing academia, but she never really reached that goal when she was in uni, neither under-graduate or graduate. She was miserable and exhausted. I wonder whom she watches and wishes she were them, back in the good ole days under the safety net of being young? I can't wait to see her have a breakdown as she approaches 30 and is still cowering in her cramped bedroom at her parents or twirling in the backyard muck.

"...blue, which is my favorite color to wear,"

She has a favorite color to wear now ahahaha

Until a publisher gifts her a copy of The Color Purple.

"PAAARPOL has AWHLWHEYS been moiy favorat collah, OFFCWOARSE. And now it's JANUINELY moiy myost favorat bock, tyeu! It masterfolly combines waards with ponctuation and ink with paper in a way that is SIMPLY ACKSQUITE. Oiy wud HOIGHLY RACKOMMAND it tyeu ANYWAN."

 

[emmer_moans]

I can't stop laughing at her latest video where her tip is to talk to friends about what you are learning... The footage inserted then shows her talking to a very bored looking dog

 

[Rumblemumble]

A mini-printer is a study essential for her lmao she really wishes she was back in 2nd grade.

And, is that a leaf stuck on her hair? Did she go and do the thing where she lies down on the ground? what did she call it?

what a boring, stupid video.
