past and present fads

[soobsession]

farmville

what you hear all around you:

"aww! i wasnt online for a day and all my blueberries died!"
"dude! im on level 31! im beating [insert name here]"
"what is the most profitable vegetable?"
"my whole farm is like all carrots"

of course, i made some of the fruits/vegetables up but you get the idea.

Twilight. Ugh. Copying soobsession:

What you hear all around you:

"O.M.G. Edward is soooo hot"
"Are you kidding me? Everyone's all into Jacob now"
"Golly me, Twilight is such a jim-dandy [stupid] book"
"I totally agree. Let's go prance around in our uggs and sweatpants. Yay."

Well, some of that stuff was made up. Nobody uses words in my school like golly me and jim dandy, and I kinda added in the stupid part. And at the end I kinda strayed off topic but...you get the point!

6th grade- Yu-Gi-Oh, girls, (which I benefited from, being able to get close to a few)

Care to explain how girls are/became a fad?

I don't mean girls as a hobby, though I've seen that before, but rather the talk and lore involving girls in them. It was stupid, actually, and only a few managed to live up to their supposed "exploits," including me, but yeah, it was stupid, and mostly boys participated in this.

girls/guys aren't really fads. more like long-term hobbies beginning from 5th-6th grade

Ditto, but will those hobbies ever bear useful fruit?

How did a school like yours adopt Farmville widespread? I've actually never heard of it, contrary to when I used to hear about Maplestory a lot of times.

it's moved from farmville to COD... we hear it so much, it's like people don't have anything else to talk about

Haha our physics class just talked about farmville to waste time and not get hw or learn anything.

"for thanksgiving, my brother made his farm in the shape of a turkey"
"once i found a lucky leprechaun eating my carrots! i got to level 40"
etc.

it sounded stupid, but hey, at least it made for an interesting conversation ^^

Over this past summer, it was restaurant city. that was hilarious because people's statuses were like:
"OMG I NEED STRAWBERRIES ! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yay carrots!"
etc.

It's not enough to just let dead threads stay dead, is it?
