verbminxto eat cereal and take silly quizzes and post fluff, of course.
before I do so, I must yap about something shallow I saw the other day. (fashion bs alert! run away! run away!) A girl of about fifteen wearing about a size 2 pants, at the movies with her mom. Carrying a Coach Bag! And not even a classic tasteful one... this was some weird pink and white linen and leather hybrid, looking somewhat worse for wear. The mom had a Coach bag too. Who in their right mind outside of one of three areas of the country (which would be Palm Beach, Manhattan, and parts of L.A.) buys their fifteen year old daughter a hideously ugly $200 purse? When I was that age, which admittedly was ten years ago, the vogue for trendy vanilla girls of fifteenish was a Liz Claiborne or Esprit bag. Small. I remember when I got into high school I carried some sort of black quilted leather pseudo-Chanel thing - not any more tasteful than the overpriced pink thing our heroine was toting, but certainly not as expensive either. Then I had a boxy red faux-reptile pseudo-Kelly-bag when I was a senior, which I loved, and lamented when the clasp broke. If you're going to spend too much money on a purse for your kid, go for Fendi or Kate Spade or something that at least looks like it wants to be pink and fluffy. Coach is for restrained classic leather purses you plan to have until you're 200 years old. Hmmm...ph. (better yet, pick up a cute purse on clearance and put the money away for college. sheesh.)

Take the Twilight Zone test!
this was #4 on the list, but by its description, I think it deserved to be higher!

My Smiths anthem is... "Shoplifters of the World Unite" Romantic and/or idealistic, you are one of the few on the list who does not spend most of their time absorbed in their own problems. You dream big, even if your goals may be a bit vague at times. You don't hate people, though you may not understand them. You enjoy fighting for causes and don't tend to obsess over love, loss, or being alone. You've got better things to do. "Shoplifters of the World Unite" is from Louder than Bombs or Best...1. |

My Smiths anthem is... "What She Said" Snarl, cynic, snarl! Your philosophy and intellect seem to have gotten the best of you, and you seem to like it so far (at least outwardly). People? Who needs people when you have books and mountains of rationalization? Consider whether your bad luck in life may be the result of a matching mountain of self-pity, and try something new for a change (or someone new...) "What She Said" is from Meat Is Murder. |
