when i was young i was taught never to say the word, "So." like don't go asking "So?" after someone has said something about themselves or given an opinion etc. cos it's rude.


at my age, i find the words,"so what" to be particularly appealing...i may not say them out loud, cos i don't wish to be rude...but i say it in my head cos it gives me the same effect...because sometimes...some people are just too jerkified---yes i made this word up...and "so what" just seems to be the most appropriate response....


the above thoughts were partly influenced by watching the tyra banks show at 4am in the morning last night. the reason i was up at that hour was because i was doing some schoolwork (presentation stuff, and i'm so glad it is over!!!!) i DO NOT normally watch the tyra banks show.... unless there's really something interesting on it, i try to avoid it...cos i dun particularly like her style, i prefer ellen!!!! (who i think is also better than oprah) so so so...i only watched tyra yest cos as i was flipping through the channels, i saw one of my favorite comedy actresses!---Leah Remini from the King of Queens!!!---one of my favorite sitcoms!!! Leah Remini is so funny and honest....i just love her...she did not put up a front when she was on the show...she's just the way she is...i can tell...


anyhow, this is what i heard her say on the show, not her exact words but close, " i don't like it when people comment something bad after the event has occurred...like...i walk on the red carpet...and a friend calls up after and says you know you looked horrible??...like what am i supposed to do with this information? So what? are you trying to make me feel bad???"--- wow!!!! if i can only count the number of times this has happened to me! (not the red carpet of course). man...but then i have to admit i'm guilty of doing this sometimes, whether unconsciously or consciously...
