going back to college is like going back to high school. i may feel cooler and be better dressed and thinner and prettier and far more eloquent, but still there are people who will make me feel uncool. of course, the rational cliche says it's because they are insecure. but whatever the root of their elitism is, there it is.
N. is part of the establishment of coolness via mutual masturbation clique...i am not blonde and rich girls who surround him subverting my pedigree by blowing my daddy's money on drugs and tattoos done simply to "be cool" and go through the simulacra of being an artist when they are not. all the acoutrament in the world can't substitute for a spark. but a spark is too genuine, isn't it? but it's all moot because i can never be a rich kid pretending to be slumming. whatever, obviously i am generalizing, but for N. it's pathetically true.
i don't have blonde hair to fall madly in love with. fuck it, is it really about rich people? ha, irony of all those postmodern critical theory teorists waxing about class consciousness and gramsci and terry eagleton.
