Do you ever have a sneaking suspicion that your life has disappeared? Do you relate it to watching too many episodes of "The Hills"? Do you hate spoiled rich kids but can't stop yourself from watching their wretched excess express on MTV? If you have felt any of these emotions in the last week, then you might be me. Despite my ruminations on the vaccuous and wealthy, I have real life ridiculousness going on.
1. First, in addition to not having an executive director at our organization, our development director just resigned for a super-duty hoity-toity job. That leaves me. And, our deficit. Woo-hoo, non-profit arts!
2. I went over on my cellphone minutes and had to e-mail all my friends to make sure they didn't call me. How old am I?
3. I have more in common with our intern than with my co-workers when it comes to : finances, life choices and general directionless-ness
4. I just got a notice from the IRS that I owe them $1,990. WTF?
5. I do not have a spare $1,990 lying around. I don't even think I have anything from 1990.
6. See 1 through 5.
What is going on in my life? Have the planets come together to fight against me? Am I a bad person for occasionally splurging at Target (Read: TARGET, not Neiman Marcus). Sometimes I just feel like I cannot get ahead. Argh.
Okay, enough complaining. Am I wrong for wanting to see "The Devil Wears Prada?" Am I wrong for feeling like teenage girls today are being way too catered to with publications like "Teen Vogue" and "Teen Elle?"
Take a walk down memory lane with me: Remember the good old days when having a Vogue subscription was weird because all the other girls with teased up bangs and peg-cuffed acid wash were reading Cosmo to figure out how to pleasure their football playing stoner boyfriends? Remember? Anyone? Remember when "Vanity Fair" used to be a readable magazine? Remember when Louis Vuitton was truly for people with real money, like Anna Wintour-looking old ladies with frail arms and big sunglasses? Remember when Christian Lacroix was not mentioned in a hoochie rap song? Remember when Chanel meant class and not sunglasses for 19-year-olds who drive BMW SUVs? Remember a world before Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson and Kimora Lee Simmons and the "Adult" Olsen Twins?
Well, at least I have "Project Runway" and bookstores.
