cuz she ain't no ruling class
i guess i don't really get the regression part anyway cuz most of the 30-something and 40-something parents i know who go to bars or drink or party or whatever never really stopped drinking or going to bars/parties. maybe when they had infants they did. those little bastards can slow you down.

she's more ruling class than lena dunham, who now has to be mentioned in every single article by a female new yorker ever

"Now, two months after graduation, I seem to be one of just a handful of people that's been able to get themselves on their feet, pay their own bills and actually put together some semblance of an adult life with minimal parental assistance."
okay wait....

― iatee, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 01:42 (eleven years ago) link
she's not even doing the normal complaint about good job + money aka bourgeois disenchantment
she's complaining that she hasn't suffered enough

it was the ultimate way to achieve my dreams, I realized that pursuing a volatile degree from private university was possibly one of the worst decisions I could have made.

"Do not be too harsh on Taylor, gentle reader. Though she has a steady income, an apartment, a car, and a healthy sense of entitlement, she is right to mourn her predicament: she lives in Boston. Even Lena Fucking Dunham worship is preferable to that cruel fate."
gawker's got a point here...

most annoyed @ her attributing her relative success to the fact that she just tried harder at everyone else at being employable and got internship after internship and had part time jobs (for the resume not bc she needed them to pay her tuition), never once mentioning, you know, luck

In other Cotter-writing news, my aunt @bjcotter60 has published a book on Amazon!! Check it out here: http://amzn.to/NedCj1
"On the coast of Rhode Island in 1978, the Winter family lives in a decaying farmhouse within view of the Atlantic Ocean. When family patriarch Jim Winter inexplicably commits suicide one January morning, his wife, Helen, teenage daughter, Joyce, and fisherman son, Dale, are left to pick up the pieces. Like the man whose life insurance is worth more than his life, Helen Winter knows that cashing in on the value of their oceanfront property would be both the salvation and destruction of the Winters, who have farmed this seaside land for three centuries. Cousin Ludlow Winter gives her a job in his real estate office, but he also pressures her to sell more and more of the farm. Neighbor Fran Kennedy befriends her, but also seems to be eyeing her antiques. Her sister-in-law, Loretta, wants to turn the Winter land over to the Audubon Society. Meanwhile, Joyce tries to make sense of her father’s suicide and a generation of family secrets all while trying to preserve her Swamp Yankee heritage, which is threatened by greedy developers and outsiders who have no understanding of this land the Winters call home. Her best friend, Camille, a Narragansett Indian, is on a journey of her own to untangle her heritage. As a storm threatens to overtake the farm, the journeys of these women will collide with hurricane force."

I fucking hate people who hate on Boston for no good reason. You've probably never even spent a significant amount of time here. People do this all the gd time and it's really fucking annoying. Sure it's no fancypants NY or whatever but it has some pretty good points if you give it a chance.

Whatever the reason it happens frequently and it's tiresome. I'll admit that I didn't love it immediately upon moving here but it's seriously grown on me over time and I just think people make snap judgement based on . . . I don't really even know what they're based on but they're mostly wrong.
