Pretentiousness
So, for those who don't know, my roomie here in VA is an undergrad. And sometimes, when i listen to her and her friends, I can't help but think how very different we are.
For instance, this evening, when i came home from a play, she was sitting on the front porch, with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and their boyfriends. So, here's what you have to know about Staunton. Mary Baldwin is an all girls school, meaning that the boys don't live here. SO anyway, the girls and boys are sitting on our front porch, drinking wine, smoking cigs, and just generally being a typical college students. Except then I realized, (and this isn't a judgement call one way or the other, it just is a statement of fact) that when my friends and I did that sort of think, we smoked out cigerettes, thinking we looked elegent, and spoke of theatre and art and what plays we wanted to do, or were working on, or had just seen. But the point was, it was always about the art. (I think that's one of the reasons why i'm so miserable here. Because it's not about the art anymore.)
my roomie and her friends are all about thier other half. What I mean by that is that they wanted to get together tonight bc everyone is in town and they wanted to play at being adult couples for a night.
so i got to thinking, how much it reveals about a person to know what their pretensiouess was when they were young, or still do, whatever. Do there's my question - what was your prention? and how do you think that represnts you know?
