Last website visited: Are You A Snob?
Mood: ugh
Right now i want... to finish my coffee

according to PBS's Manor House Gang i am 59% Snob: "It's touch and go, Anne. You're a long way off joining the ranks of the blini-nibbling, bubbly-sipping, double-barreled brigade but then you're no champion of the proletariat either...."

why should i care? because i have recent cause to believe that i am considerably more snobby than i thought. now, this isn't exactly news, my friends have charged me with being a snob all the time... i just didn't buy their arguments, since they are at least as snobby as i am....

but, that's the problem. i try not to judge people until i know them, but, dammit, i'm sitting here thinking that i can't date someone who doesn't have a degree and a good job among a dozen other things... and then despising myself for writing those i meet off so easily. at the very least, i'm picky. take it to the other extreme, and i'm horrible. maybe pbs is right, i'm more snob than not, right there ready to pass judgment on everybody while i sit back comfortably immune from ridicule; except from myself.

or maybe it's just that i don't want to put in th effort to get to the effortless stage with anyone new, and i just want my friends to be here so i don't have to try so damn hard while i'm hanging out with them.

... in completely different news, i think i'm going to cancel my cable modem at home. it's actually pretty nice being disconnected while i'm not at work, and if i ever need net access on the weekends there is always Starbucks... anyways, just a thought.

i need to get back to squashing bugs. thank goodness it's friday.
