Picture of Dorian Gray (22 down)

Love love it. Finally finished it today on the plane.
I lost count of how many books I finished while reading this one. The faster reads/short stories are so enticing in the way instant gratification is enticing sometimes.
I have copied over many excerpts into my reading journal.
Michael said I should stay away from Wilde if I want to soften up my cynical self.

i proudly told one of my more privileged friends tonight that 7 days ago I resolved to pay my 20 year student loans in 7 years (a random number I picked). Proudly told him that I made a 600 dollar payment this month (the day I made my resolution) on a 200 dollar minimum. I’m also going to be eating ramen more often now. He groaned.
He said the point of student loans is to take my time with them. And accumulate money that will grow in interest over the years and that if I paid all my debt now, I’d have nothing later.
Gah?
GAH.
“Linda, student loans are GOOD debt.”
“But, it’s my ONLY debt so wouldn’t it also be my BAD debt?”
He sighed and told me he didn’t have time for me right now and hung up. Haha…
Huh.
