Is this a rant? Do people like rants?

I've come to terms with the fact that after you do something more than once, people feel it necessary to-and they feel they now can-say something along the lines of this: "You always do/say that!" or "Every time I come here you always have that thing going on! :)" and I'm thinking to myself,

Well actually this is the second time and it's a coincidence. Just because I brought McDonald's back for everyone two weeks in a row doesn't really make it a tradition, so you shouldn't expect it the third time.

But people do. And then you get nick names like "cracker girl" because you "always" have Ritz on break time.

Or this: "He/She/That is your favorite." - Just because I've seen two movies two weeks in a row with  Micheal Cera in it does not mean I'm in love with the actor. In fact Micheal Cera can be pretty annoying, despite being a random example that has nothing to do with me, and I don't remember the last time I watched a movie with him in it. It was probably Juno.

So third time really is the charm, because by that time, you might as well slap a sticker on your forehead. At least, this is the way it is for me. And it's really weird. People like characters, who are distinguishable through their taglines. Well, I was never fond of inaccurate labeling, especially when the person I'm being branded by barely knows me.

To personally answer my own question, I don't think I like rants very much. Maybe a little. But they are always negative, and strapped with connotations and circumstance. They give rise to arguments or at least discussion.

In another sense, the double-time-tag-line can be a good thing, if you're really nice to someone twice, they'll most likely say something positive about you when you're brought up in discussion.

And isn't that a weird concept? When you are alone, and your peers are together somewhere else, there's a chance they're talking about you, if only for a moment, like this "She did so well on her presentation today, I was like woah, cool!" or "She drives me nuts with the way she always talks about trying to make money, you know what I mean?"

So, those are two random tangential things that have been boucing around in my head for the past howeverlong. I wonder if typing them down will turn them into anything else than what they already were. Okay Brittney don't get inceptive here... I try to relate the ideas of the movie Inception to what I'm typing, and it turns out that the definition of inceptive doesn't really fit, well, maybe it does: "Relating to or marking the beginning of something; initial."

I guess this is the beginning of something. I'm only 19 anyways, and I've always felt something was going to happen to me sooner or later, and it was going to be important. My whole life has been leading up to it, but I don't know what it is. And well maybe it's absolutely nothing. But who cares. Maybe I'll go through my whole life thinking something fantastic is going to happen, and never really know until the end. Or maybe i'm in the middle of it. Well I still think 19 is young, and inceptive I shall be, because this thinking business has got to be the beginning of something.
