my super sweet laundry

have you all seen this cable show "my super sweet sixteen" on mtv (or some similar channel)? some richer-than-rich teenager is filmed during the week prior to his/her big bash. last night mb and i watched with disgust as this girl went to paris and whined that her mom wouldn't let her get some scandalous $10,000 gown for her ball, claimed that all of paris was ruined now because the versace store was closed, hated her parents for not getting her a range rover immediately upon her request, etc.

meanwhile, leading a similarly glamorous lifestyle, mb and i were cooking a fancy pot of 79-cent lentils while running outside in the rain, down the slippery back steps to the basement laundry room... where we found my neighbor leon shernoff pulling our things out of the washers. for those of you who don't remember, leon shernoff is my mushroom-loving star-trek-watching long-stringy-haired trench-coat-wearing neighbor in the basement. needless to say, i feel a little dirty somehow knowing that leon shernoff touched my unmentionables.

16-year-old ava was carried arabian-style into her $200,000 birthday bash by four shirtless members of the loyola polo team, while mb and i cooked beans and dodged the creep in the basement. some people just lead different lives.
