I don't blog about my candle making adventures, my family (with two thousand pictures of my kids), or my life as a housewife who makes quilts 24/7. I'm not some pretentious hipster who can't finish three sentences without using some form of the word "musing." I'm just here to laugh at society.

The punchline is out of this world.

"Man, I sure wish I had payed attention in Californian geography class." The names of every significant city in that state seemed to somehow escape me. Three open-ended and three direct questions was what I was allotted, and I only had an open-ended question left. Trying my best to not get frustrated with my looming, inevitable loss, I recalled all the information I had gathered up to this point. "He's a place. A sunny place. And the people there are nice? That doesn't really help me at all. I know that he's in California, though. West coast, like he said." I couldn't think of a question that would help me in the slightest; I know next to nothing about Californian cities. This was supposed to be an exercise in asking good questions and getting information, but I was doing abysmally. Finally, desperate, I decided on "can you tell me what's around you?" I didn't know how this would help me, either, but it was the best I could do.

Hipster Logic

Since it's mainstream to hate Vevo on Youtube, and hipsters are against the mainstream, hipsters love Vevo.
Since Vevo usually only supports large record label bands, hipsters must now listen to mainstream music, because they now love Vevo.
Since they listen to mainstream music, they're no longer hipsters.
However, since it's mainstream for hipsters to listen to obscure artists, hipsters still have hipster cred for listening to mainstream artists?
Therefore, classic hipsters are no longer hipsters?
Usher in the new era of hipsters!

Parachute pants, cummerbunds, capes... I can see it all now. As if California wasn't freaky enough already...
