- Katie: Did you know the reason it's called Greenwich Village is because there was actually a village here and not just because we're pretentious assholes?
- Me: Yay! You mean we're NOT pretentious assholes?
- Katie: Lol no we're still pretentious.
- Me: So we're not assholes?
- Katie: Lol I don't know about you but I'm sure a motherfucking asshole.
Tales from the Trail...
- (Stayed late with one other coworker to help our supervisor approve pay sheets. We came across a kid who was listed four times on the computer.)
- Supervisor: So what do we do?
- Me: I dunno, ignore it?
- Supervisor: Sure.
- Me: Cause that kid just fucked up.
- (My supervisor and coworker both laugh)
- Coworker: Amanda! You shouldn't say that!
- Me: What should I say?
- Coworker: You should say they messed up.
- Me: Screwing up once is messing up. Four times...they fucked up.

A Comparative Study in Weddings

Literary comeback ftw
So I was all *swearing like a sailor pretty much all the time.*
So my mom was like: You need to clean up your language before you go to college. It’s not very lady-like.
And my dad was all: Right. Because NO ONE curses in New York…
And I was like :D
Then later, we were reading Let the Great World Spin in AP English.
And I found this quote: “There would always be an expletive in a New York sentence.”
Collum McCann is with me on this. The language remains. New York City, here I come. xD
