Tragically Hipster

Then we grow the fuck up.

@ManchuCandidate:

As long as we leave some of the 12 year old alive so that we are able to sneak into Archie McPhee’s and get a six pack of Nunzillas™ for friends.

Cheers, weej

Aw, Manchu, I’m fond of Holden.

Then we threw the fuck up. I think that’s the first school book I read that had cursing (OMG!!) in it.

I have no idea what Franny and Zoey is about. Boring.

@Tommmcatt Can’t Believe He Ate The Whole Thing:
Holden is charming when one relives memories of childhood/teen years. It’s much less charming when you’re stuck living with a more immature Holden like my unlamented dipshit former housemate.

The one thing that Catcher in the Rye is correct about is that adulthood can be pretty shitty sometimes.

@Tommmcatt Can’t Believe He Ate The Whole Thing: Darling, no. You fondled Holden. Salinger wished he had.

@JNOV: They take a bath. Ew.

@ManchuCandidate: Classic closet case. See above.

@Benedick: By that logic I also fondled Pip from Great Expectations. I love me some Pip. I read it every year, always want things to turn out better for them both, and my heart is always broken.

@ManchuCandidate:

“The thing is, it’s really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs – if yours are really good ones and theirs aren’t. You think if they’re intelligent and all, the other person, and have a good sense of humor, that they don’t give a damn whose suitcases are better, but they do. They really do. It’s one of the reasons why I roomed with a stupid bastard like Stradlater. At least his suitcases were as good as mine.”
