Indeed! My favorite quote:

"Being yourself is not a talent. If you worked two full-time jobs all the way through high school and one of them was "being yourself" and the other was "trying your best," you actually worked zero full-time jobs."

Bwahahahahaha! Exactly. Some of us actually worked hard at our academics, got killer test scores AND worked, you know, actual jobs. At your age. You little snot.[/quote]
Where did it get you?[/quote]

A professional, well-paying job at which I make more money at 35 than either of my parents ever made per year in their lifetimes?  Like, way more.  A functional adult life that my parents didn't really prepare me for but which I scratched out for myself through hard work and determination?  A happy marriage?  My own home?

That enough for you?

Girls like this "satirist" don't impress me.  They've been entitled their whole lives and have had every advantage.  So what does she do with it?  Use it to write a poison pen article denigrating the experiences of others who weren't so lucky.  Little bitch.  [/quote]
