Me: i miss pre-laguna, pre ss16 mtv, as sad as that is to say
since it wasnt that great
Arianna: true!
i guess i just miss being easily amused and the target age for everything
Me: same
people dont care about us anymore
Arianna: wah wahhh
Me: lol
who am i if not the target marketing age?
Arianna: what is my identity??
Me: what *things* define me?
Arianna: i just want hot boys to say stupid shit that my classmates unthinkingly parrot
i want to pretend that i'm above pop culture but secretly relish it to an extent that i won't be able to admit until i'm older
Me: i just want to be cool based on appearances and material things
Arianna: i want executives to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on focus groups that enable them to properly hire a television presenter that i'll find attractive
Me: i want my favorite musicians and actors to be endlessly branded, but only for hip things, so i adapt their branding choices as my new favorites
Arianna: i want young famous people to talk about how much they hate being famous, then get hopelessly, expensively shitfaced on the same night
Me: i want to go to 18+ club nights with corporation tie-ins to nike and/or scion

Arianna: Do you think I am MPDG?
Me: id have to see how you interact with a dude. being a mpdg is 95% about how you make the dude feel
Arianna: and 5% ability to do cartwheels?
me: yes exactly. thats it
Arianna: i can't do them
me: but can you attempt them with charm?
Arianna: i am too tall, my center of gravity is too high. it's more convenient to just walk
me: THAT DOES NOT WORK IN THE MPDG WORLD. you have to float, or skip, or tumble. that's it
Arianna: or tumbl
me: hahahaha
tumblr is the mpdg web 2.0 platform
