I was speaking more about the annoying coffee-house "intellects" who dress "smart" but ultimately cannot hold a conversation about Dostoevsky or even Hemingway for more than 30 seconds--at that key point, once they fail, they remind you how brilliant Fight Club is, and you must resort to either vomiting or teaching the guy/girl how to slit his/her wrists properly.

Of course there's other scene kids that are into the Blood Brothers and whatnot but Radiohead fans are the worst. Ironically, I like Radiohead, but their fans are only matched by die-hard Wes Anderson fans.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK IS VASTLY OVERRATED. invisible monsters was entertaining, but i wouldn't say it was profound, intelligent literature like those starbucks tribes say it is.

Wow. Just when I was preparing shields for an attack by his fans.

The only thing I've read by Palahniuk is Survivor, which I thought was pretty good.
I wouldn't say he's overrated though. Fight Club is overrated, but many of the people I know who rant about Fight Club didn't know it was based on a book and they certainetly do not know the author's name..

The "scene" people I know read that book and walk around with it in their back pocket like it is a fashion accessory. It just stands as another sign to avoid the person. I should start walking around with War and Peace in my back pocket so people will marvel about how large my ass is.

Haha. I'm pretty much a coffee house kid. I suck.

I only go to Starbucks because my brother loves it.

Ack! I'm too indie for starbucks. I got to hole-in-the-wall overpriced coffee shops.

I've tried to the whole coffee house thing, I really don't see what's so great about it. Maybe I just don't like coffee.

I have a ton of friends who work there and it is only a block away. We chill and I go there to do my homework and read and stuff. I dunno. I am what I hate.

I would never be able to work in that sort of enviroment. The solitude of my room seems more appealing than a room full self important dolts. Plus I can smoke in my room.

I don't read or do my work when my friends are with. I can go outside on the porch and smoke.

We don't have porches with our coffee houese here.

Lame. We don't have a porch so much as a patio with this little metal thing overtop of it.

Sounds like its Jimmy-rigged.

Kind of. It is like this thing that vines grow up but they all died and they cut them off of it when winter came. So now it is just like a ghetto-ass metal piece. It is totally like a block away from drug-hell.

So, like, lattice or whatever? My friend has that on her patio, and in the summer all kind of bugs fall from the vines, its disturbing. June bugs are gross.

Coffee might as well be a drug.

Yeah, a lattice. I couldn't think of the word. Coffee is a drug. It just isn't as cool as meth is in my town.
