I wish I liked 2 Broke Girls because I like Kate Dennings. Kate Dennings went creepy on Conan on Wednesday night and revealed her past, straight out of a Stephen King novel, describing her childhood as "dark and painful." Okay, now you're speaking my language, Kate. Can't we all use darkness and torture to describe our embarrassing youth? Especially if you are (and were as dramatic as a teenager) like me.
Dennings grew up in Pennsylvania, and when Conan O'Brien asked what was strange and unusual about her childhood, Dennings said, "I lived in a nice house, and there was a nice house in the woods. family. There were deer. There were no other neighbors. "Okay, here's your answer, Dennings. The woods are a creepy, creepy place (or as we say on the internet, spooky) and it sounds like you're in E. Grew up on the stories of Degas Allan Poe.
In middle school, I wasn't so obsessed with darkness, but I was living an incredibly emotional lifestyle because eighth grade was difficult. But Dennings' honesty and complete acceptance of her fun phase makes me feel better. Not that anyone should be embarrassed about anything they do during adolescence because it's a hormonal whirlwind and scary, but I mean, we all carry a little bit of shame because of what we may have felt at the time.
The 28-year-old actress also brought a relic from her dark times - a poem she dug out of her parents' house and wrote when she was eight. She posted this photo on Instagram a few months ago. observe:
Regardless of the spelling errors, this is a fairly complex rhyme scheme and a way for young Dennings to express boredom. Conan wonders how her parents react to her Wednesday Addams tendencies. She responded, "They don't care. I'm their fifth child. They say, 'You do what you want. You're fine.'" I was envious. My parents didn’t quite understand my melodrama (I still hold on to that). There is perhaps no more important time for children than childhood and adolescence to express all their strangeness and overcome it. All of its awkward and unstable stages make youth simultaneously scary and magical. Dennings shares her own childhood fantasies that make me want to run home to my parents' house, look at all of my cringe-worthy journals with new eyes, and really laugh at my hilarious younger self.
