I read this story in the Mississippi accent of my childhood. And it was charming.

@sassymolassy: Roll Tide! :)

At the University of Alabama I took a class very similar to Jessica's. It was called The Beat Generation and basically revolved around talking about Kerouac and benzos.

@RousseMacabre: and ponytails. obviously.

@lilybea: And apparently you can't be over the age of 23.

@Amry: I have that suit as well, and I freaking love it. I stalked it for probably an entire year on ModCloth* before I finally bit the bullet and bought it. It was worth every penny.

@GunwallsLizzie: This is exactly what I thought. You wear vintage Valentino while baking with a child?! You get what's coming to you.

@the glamwich: This is the greatest thing ever.

@Ab of Dab: As someone who starts their PhD program in August at 25, all of this terrifies me. I won't be finishing my PhD until I'm 30-31. How the hell am I supposed to keep up and have a family? Since, you know, being male isn't actually an option for me.

Unlike the boys, who ranked "money" second, after family and before friends.

@BeckySharper: ::GASP:: YES! Yes. Oh please let this happen. Sal moves in to 28 Barbary Lane, and he and Anna Madrigal can smoke pot together. I have no idea if the time lines would match up right, but I may or may not already be writing the fan fic in my head. :)

@Tchotchke: Agreed. But you know is super hot AND has fucking hilarious standup? Aisha Tyler. Let's talk about her instead.
