Reasonably Functional Adult

By Emily on August 14, 2011

Did I miss out on some gene for an internal Ann Taylor Should Appeal To You Now clock? Loud music and socially inappropriate hair colours still seem infinitely more worth my time and attention, and I don’t get what all the fuss is about.  I don’t see anyone wagging accusatory fingers at JD Salinger while crying “Peter Pan complex! What about your Adult Life! Why do you keep Talking About Teenagers!” to the high heavens, and frankly, I don’t see why I don’t get to play with the boys, too.  And besides, I pay my bills on time.  I’m a great cook.  I have dental insurance.  I’m a Reasonably Functional Adult. “

–  from The Rayanne Project, a smart blog I discovered via nogoodforme.com. My So-Called Life, you still know no equal.

(this Rayanne Project post was also pretty great)

About Me

photo of miamired I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
