i posted this on livejournal too because i'm the coolest

conversation with amanda that has been going over in my head a lot lately

scene: ca. 2003, mtv is on, "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" by Good Charlotte
some paraphrasing has occurred

amanda: i love this song!!1!!1!
me: what is this song about
amanda: it's about rich people being high-maintenance*
me: oh. but this is a band. aren't they rich and famous? they are on television.
amanda: no. they're punk.
me: oh.

i'm doing a good job of putting off my DBQ right now.



*despite being ~7, i was familiar with this term (and its negative connotations) because my brother and sister often used it in reference to their sims families' customised personalities.
