apocalypsos"I don't know who Justin Bieber is. I only know his name because it keeps being brought up to me. I listen to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, so I have no idea who he is. That's not a diss, I just don't know [who he is]." -- Taylor Momsen
Oh, my God, you are such a teenager.
And yet, I come at this from two fronts. Because I know that she's trying to be Rebellious!OMG by saying it, but ... seriously, *I* was trying to be Rebellious!OMG in high school. And I still knew enough about the New Kids On The Block because I didn't, I couldn't make fun of them.
And also, I don't know how well your band is going to do with a frontwoman who proudly tells people she's so out of touch with the music business she doesn't know who the hell one of the biggest pop stars currently putting out music is. (Nobody says you have to like the guy. Sheesh.)
Yeah, I don't know. Taylor Momsen pings all of my annoying-teenage-girl hate-ons. It's not that I don't LIKE her, it's just that she's doing the exact same I'm Sooo Much Cooler (And Therefore Smarter And More Worldly And Somehow More Highly Educated) Than You thing that Hipster Racist Cousin does. It's the attitude that you just know that ten years down the line, she's going to look at pictures of herself now and say, "Oh, my God, what the HELL was wrong with me?!"

Speaking of Hipster Racist Cousin, did I mention that she and her brother are coming with me and Bryan to Hershey Park this Saturday? Hopefully she can manage not to be completely snide and insufferable for one whole day. She did okay at my parents' summer party a few weeks back, so I'm crossing my fingers. The last thing I want is her dropping the N-bomb in the middle of Hershey Park. Or anywhere, for that matter, although even if she did she'd still only tie for the most annoying teenager I've ever seen there with some kid I saw the last time I was there who was wearing a T-shirt that said "ABORTION IS MURDER" in huge lettering.
The one thing I've got going for me for the trip is that her brother is basically Bryan 2.0. Same haircut and facial scruff, same laidback "whatever" attitude ... it'll be like I'm leading a miniature Shaggy-from-"Scooby-Doo" impersonators parade through the park.

Hey, anybody got some tips for saving money on our DC trip? We're already going to be picking up a lot of cheap microwavable stuff and cases of soda before we leave so we can save on food, and God knows the majority of the stuff we're doing down there costs nothing or is already paid for -- only the aquarium and the spy museum have entry fees -- but I'm kinda blanking on other ways to cut corners.
