Today is one of those days where I don't really have anything to blog about. It also happens to be one of those days when I nothing better to do than blog.
I did spend the last twenty or so minutes myspacing out. Now, I don't have a myspace,nor do I particularly like them, but I've found the website a useful tool for research. I look up a town that I will probably be living in next year, such as Catonsville, and find high school/college age students that live in or are from the area. It is through this research that I have decided that I hate Ellicott City. I hate Catonsville less, but don't get me wrong, it still sucks. You see, Catonsville is the sort of small town that isn't small. It's got its historic small town feel, with a downtown area, (which I must say was better than Ellicott City's historic downtown, which had only hippie shops and yuppie shops) but was still a bit "quaint" for my liking. Given, I'll take Catonsville quaint-ness over Columbian sprawl, but I still find it irritating.
Anyway, Catonsville highschooloers: Are they cool? This is what I'm struggling with. I mean, they have myspaces, wich already lame-ifys them, but that aside, would I like them? I'm sure that if I saw some of my current friends' myspaces that I would like them less, but it is some indicator of personality and interst...The Catonsville kids altoghether seem to be an artsier, more offbeat crowd than Ellicott City, but I've got some problems with them. I'm going to make you a list describing the Catonsville youth, as per Myspace. Draw your own conclusions.
1. Every Catonsville myspace that I saw had Harry Potter listed under its "Favorite Books".
2. There are self-described "theatre kids"...
3. There was this, which displays a disturbing amount of town pride, but was actually kind of funny. It even made me like Catonsville for a minute there...
4. There were far fewer trying-to-look-sexy/beauty/airbrushed fifteen-year-old type profile pictures.
5. There were far fewer drunken/polo-wearing/asshole-looking/party-at-John's house-'cause-his-dad-has-a-full-bar-in-his-basement-and-we-can-totally-get-some-chicks-drunk-and-hook-up-with-them pictures.
6. There were less myspaces.
So overall, Catonsville is "Less Up Its Own Ass than Towson" (a suburb we looked at but was too far away and sucked)but still not great.

Well, if you don't like it there you can always move to Rwanda. Maybe.
1. I have a myspace that is less lame than other myspaces (in my opinion). I don't think you'd hate me for it.
2. I like Harry Potter. Therefore, they are minorly cool (in my opinion). Except I hate some Harry Potter fans for they are "posers". *Insert joke about Wicked posers here*
3. I like number 5.
4. Haha. "Theater kids".
OMG. I just actually read their myspaces (twas at school before where myspace is blocked). And I feel bad for you.
Some major dumb-ass whores go to that school. They're going to hate you (no offense).
AGH! Poor Krissy!
