generation...whatever.

i'm sorry, i just feel the need to rant for a moment, because i'm a bit angry.

it really annoys me when people call my generation (do we even have a name yet?) stupid. people can't get enough of saying that we're dumb, tech-obsessed airheads who have never been to a library in their life, have no lives outside facebook, and can't sit still to read a book. ITS NOT TRUE. maybe 15% of us fit the text-generation stereotype, and the rest are doing very well in the current state of affairs. i think the problem is that the older generations can't cope with the idea of growing up with so much to do right at their fingertips, so they assume that we can't, either. well, we can. actually, we're very sane. think about it. does a kid who texts her friends every day have a million typos on her homework? no, not really. does an expert sims city player have no idea how to have a real friendship? not so much. we understand the difference between virtual and real. we find it amusing. the world is full of grown-ups who on the one hand are constantly inventing pretty new toys for us, and on the other hand are talking about how our brains are rotting. we have just as many ideas, creative thoughts, and "real" lives as anyone else, ok? so just chill *out*.
g2g, my friend's texting me. bb.
