Who Shot Who in What Town?

Women are inherently driven to read trash.

Although I try to deny it to myself, I do enjoy Cosmo and US Weekly and the odd girly novel about an up-and-coming female socialite in NYC. When you get down to it, such literature is fairly vapid, and I must admit that reading it sometimes makes me feel like an un-feminist sellout. However, I can't stop indulging in my guilty pleasure. As much as I want not to care what Cameron Diaz bought at the grocery store, I strangely do. I'm not interested in fashion, I have a makeup phobia and I don't envy those with glamorous careers in big cities. Yet I continue to buy $4.00 magazines that chronicle the lives of the Beautiful People. I guess I must want to pretend I can relate to this material. Why? Why? Why?

Get over the fact that you enjoy "normal" American girl activities and stop being so hard on the fact that you are similar to millions of others on one account.

I guess I can accept it, it's just a waste of money.

I have spent like $15 on magazines in the past month.
