if you resemble the average media company employee but are touch more self-revealing and self-promoting, media company employees may use you to discuss themselves by proxy. see lena dunham, emily gould, the GOP hipster, etc

I lose focus on the tour and accidentally start to wonder whether I've made it through twenty-one years of life without ever having formed a genuine connection with another person, and if conversation is so difficult for everyone, and if there might be a medication I could take, that would actually work, that would make it easier to interact with people.

I didn't know he had a novel out. From the Amazon blurb:
David is a freshly minted NYU grad who’s working a not-quite-entry-level job, falling in love, and telling his parents he’s studying for the LSAT. He starts a Tumblr blog, typing out posts on his BlackBerry under his desk—a blog that becomes wildly popular and brings him to the attention of major media (The New York Times) as well as the White House. But his outward fame doesn’t quell his confusion about the world and his direction in it.
This semiautobiographical debut…

I don't know if she'd remember me because she meets thousands of people, and I don't want her to not remember me, but I don't want to introduce myself as if we've never met before because then she might think I am doing that thing where you knowingly introduce yourself to someone you've already met and pretend you don't remember them to show them that they're not important to you and consequently you are cooler than they are. But Tavi was really friendly at Pitchfork, and also, she is 15.
― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Monday, 29 September 2014 22:49 (nine years ago) link
she is so totally nobody's fool though. probably more of an adult than most adults i know. i dunno about the blog guy at all.

I read a few pages of the book online and it was all about going to readings and telling people he writes a blog and being intimidated by people who write for Slate and how people make eye contact with him and smoke cigarettes near him.
― Yo Gotti Nutter Ting Hummin' (President Keyes), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 11:33 (nine years ago) link
this is weird to me because i would read PRR in college when dude was my age. i was also aware of tavi at that time, who was described to me as a child prodigy.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 11:33 (nine years ago) link
i read his book, its not bad, hes tao lin but hanging out w/ more boring ppl if that's possible. it's obv a quick read and is relatable. the best part is like 3 pages long where he recounts applying for a job w/ an investment bank (only b/c he finds a woman who works there's cell phone in a cab), doesn't hear back for two and a half weeks, emails and tells her off and sez her company + their business ruined the economy, etc, and she responds showing him an email to HR that they were abt to hire him. it is the anecdote of a generation, and well told regardless of if it even happened
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:45 (nine years ago) link
dating tavi would prob be v good for him like emotionally & socially cuz she seems well-adjusted and really healthy in those respects
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:47 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that doesn't sound made up at all xp

such an upworthy anecdote!

i wish i finished the novel i started when i was 22 about an aimless post-graduate. it was similar to this book in its self-involvement but involved a hallucinogenic crucifixion scene too.

― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 13:10 (nine years ago) link
getting an email from an i-banker you don't even want to work for who is nevertheless eager to hire you is not the anecdote of a generation, it is the anecdote of someone with incredible luck
― katherine, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 13:18 (nine years ago) link

Was happy for Tavi when I heard this like "cool she's got a bf", didn't realize that certain young New Yorkers were considered more hateable than others
