What you ought to be reading:
- What Are You, Stupid? - Things not to do in college: Jump, facial tattoos, Ayn Rand.
- A Fine Romance - “But if he does have a girlfriend she works hard. Usually, she’s the same age as he is but seems older, as if the disparity between boys and girls in ninth grade had been recapitulated fifteen years later.” (On het relationships in movies.)
- Tattoo Santa - This one is weird, and almost NSFW.
- TasteBook.com - Create your own custom hardcover cookbooks.
- The Budget Fashionista - Dangerous website. Features discount women’s clothing found online. Most of it is still too expensive, but it’s eye candy for the clothes horse.
- The Unapologetic Mexican: Benazir Bhutto Killed - Simple tribute.
Thanks for the link to the “What Are You, Stupid?” article. I laughed my ass off while reading it, especially at this: “Sweatpants suggest that you have a load in your drawers…” and the whole thing about studying abroad in England, and coming back to America with a fake English accent. It also inspired me to make a credit card payment RIGHT NOW, because, stupid me, I got a credit card at age 18. I will to link to this over at my place, because my readers ought to be reading it, too.
Thanks for your comment! I updated my post about this article with my own snarky suggestion for college students like me. It’s about MySpace. I felt okay being politically incorrect in this one post, because that was the nature of this piece. It made fun of everyone. (I sometimes worry that what I write might offend people, but I made an exception this time).
