clarification.

ok, so i'm busy packing and figuring out stuff for copenhagen and berlin, but i'll take this time to answer you, miriam tauber. OF COURSE i've read catcher in the rye. like fifty times. starting around sixth grade, when i thought i was way cooler than everyone else for having read it earlier, and had my fuck you attitude intact that i still (sorta) carry around with me today. however, i haven't read it since freshman year of high school, and i picked it up at that british girl's house a while ago, and decided to give it another whirl, since it's been so long. boy has my perspective on things changed since then. i no longer really feel like i'm on holden's side because i'm just not that crazy. straight-up, holden's got issues and just needs someone to hold him a little, and tell him to stop getting "depressed" (a word he just can't stop using) every time he doesn't like something. he should just get annoyed like the rest of us neurotics.

and oh yeah, since this is a post for you, miriam, i might add this quote, page 21 of the penguin edition: "'do you mind cutting your nails over the table, hey?' i said. 'i've asked you about fifty--'". yeah, that's right. my main man holden gets really annoyed when people cut their toenails on the floor.

love,

lisa
