With the utterance of those words… Let me play this back for you, because THESE words changed the course of an adult human’s life. ‘Shouldn’t the letter Q be further to the back of the alphabet?’ With those words, Evan Harris’ life took a 180 degree turn.

- Ira Glass, from this episode of This American Life.

Really, Ira? Really? Really, society? Because I essentially wrote the exact. same. thing. in my blog 3 months ago. AND GUESS WHAT, IRA. I’M STILL IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE, LIVING WITH MY PARENTS, MAKING 10.25 AN HOUR.

Fuck you, Ira.

Dear Ira,

This bitch is pissed! Maybe an autographed head-shot would calm her stormy seas. Plus then she can say she got head from Ira Glass.

Sincerely,

Enna

Bad Decisions? I Got a Resume Full of Them

Dear Ira,

Today a woman told me that I was making a very bad decision, and that I should listen to her. She said it all motherly and condescendingly that I got pissed off and said “Judging by your hair, yes, you do know an awful lot about bad decisions. Yeeech!”

Ira, when the heck am I going to learn to not mouth off? Is that something someone can learn?

Nice hair,

Enna Stein

PS This is me being funny, because I don’t want to write about how a year ago my friend died today, leaving a husband and a newborn baby behind.

earltheturtle: baby laughing + fake mustache (via sleepandeat & fuckyeahhappy) Dear Ira, I am so glad that I didn’t have kids yet. Prior to this year, I would have been the stereotypical-hipster-white-person and stood outside in line in the wee hours of the morning to get my infant into a preschool that only speaks French and the kids learn the importance of calculus before they even figure out what their toes are for and how good they taste. Now, well now Ira, I am a different person. This year shaped me in ways I was not expecting. Now, it’s all about fun. I want my child to be happy. I want my child to have hopes and dreams and By GOD a sense of humor. Fuck Harvard, Fuck Princeton, Fuck Yale (especially fuck Yale) - sweet child of mine, go to a state college. Party it up. The world of boring adulthood will wait for you. Sweet child of mine, discover your toes, and never lose that wonder. Sincerely, Enna Stein
