Just incase you're looking for a heads up - life doesn't change much after college. Maybe I should rephrase that...people don't change much after college. Even if you skip across a few states to - say, a place like New York City...people (though drastically different from Southerners in a multitude of ways), are inherently the same. I watch what people do. People whine about their jobs to coworkers, they get "cliquey", and they say "how was your weekend?" - knowing good and well that the response will be something along the lines of "fine, and yours?". Amusing...
I've gotten really into the show, Gossip Girl lately. It's basically the Manhattan version of the "OC" - except they're Ivy-League-bound, keeping-up-appearances, Upper-East-Siders. Reaaaaally quite good.
FASHION UPDATE: I found this brilliant site that creates the #1 staple for living in the city. TIGHTS! http://www.welovecolors.com/ I've already ordered 2 pairs...(solid lavendar and some really crazy splash color ones - YAY!) So fun. The black sea of the New York masses could use some color.
It has taken me almost 3 years to find the video I've posted below. One of my professors showed this advertisement (Feed the Children - by the Ad Council) in one of my classes and for some reason, it really stuck with me. I just found it today and hope you can appreciate the (dare I say) artistic and heart-wrenching qualities it has, that you might not consider when watching "just another commercial".
Auf Weidersehn!!

Good Post Punkin! I LOVE tights! I'm glad they're back. I'll check out site.
The video was compelling. I see it everyday right here in rural usa. People call the church all the time saying they're hungry and can't feed their children. Then we spend thousands to fly ourselves overseas to a "mission" field to hand out beans and rice. Hmmmm...Sounds like it's time to start a soup kitchen.
I miss you!!!! Happy Birthday 23
