The RLW as I know it is filled with snobby rich kids that enjoy either saturating their hair in wax or using a rope as a "thong". They are the type of people that pay €300 for a pair of designer jeans that have been ripped up and could have easily belonged to a hobo. They live in houses three times the size of ours. They have saunas and swimming pools, giant gardens and jacuzzis. Not to forget the slaves.
I, as a down-to-earth (or so I like to believe) person, have promised myself to never become one of these Uggs-wearing people. I will not join the dark side of backstabbing, blowjobbing (or just being a slut in general), boozing and boasting about money. I made a simple vow that I shall always remain rather simple compared to the RLW children.
However, when we had dinner this evening, I was told I'm getting a bubble bath in the new house. I already felt RLW-ish when I heard I was getting my own bathroom, but this just tops it. I cannot express in words how unfaithful I feel toward myself, yet I do not feel any guilt whatsoever. To be honest, I feel good. *Fill in James Brown song here.*
I must take the time to say that although I will be getting my own bathroom, my T.V. will be horribly taken away from me like little kids are kidnapped, and I will only be left with my computer. (Yes, and of course all other necessities like a bed.) So I guess you could say I still won't quite have reached the spoiled status.

There's a banner type thing at the bottom of the page. Enjoy it while you can because I'm very tempted to get rid of it...
1) It's kinda pointless at the bottom of the page
2) It doesn't even look that great

Amen to this. =)
Huh, your new year's resolutions post kinda sounded like me a year ago. Wanting, needing to do something else than school and sitting in your room. I got into MUN, TYA and such -- I'm sure you'll find something that suits you.
My blog's finally updated again, btw -- sorry it took so long. ^^
And, woman, I LOVE your banner! Leave it be!
Oh... and a very happy new year to you! :P
Cheers,
Em
Reading this, I thought: you are so much like laurens; he too feels the need to publicly vow himself against a way of life, which you may also secretly hate, but which hate you don't necessarily have to let others know about (his is the hate against religion).
Seems to me that it is much easier not to shout off the rooftops that you are blindly against anything/anyone who may hold him/herself up in activities such as backstabbing, blowjobbing, boozing and boasting about money, but to keep it in front of you and in that way actually make friends with other people doing these things; a position in which people think you are OK (and you can still think about them what you want) is a lot more comfortable than having these guys publicy vow against you in general. Right?
Then again, those who may hate you for writing this, probably won't be reading this so you'd be correct saying who gives a shit.
First off: Yay for that fantasticly long comment :D :P
Although you do almost sound like Emilie whining on about stuff.
Here's something from my New Year's post: (What I hope to do in 2007) "Be less pessimistic. Maybe Wassenaar/Rijnlands people aren't that bad if I gave them a chance..?"
You make it sound like I spend all day bitching about this certain lifestyle --I don't. Believe me, I don't have the guts to stand up in class and say "I hate you all!" The only time I really complain is here in my blog or with friends that share the same opinion.
"in that way actually make friends with other people doing these things" One word: Laureen.
"..is more comfortable than having these guys publicy vow against you in general. Right?" Correct, I can't really say much against that. Except I don't think there are many people that are really 'against' me. Of course I could name a few obvious ones, but I think that the majority of (for ex) our class does not hate me. If they do, then they're doing exactly what you said: keeping their own opinion to themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I know that most of the RLW isn't how I portray them in here. I know I generalise a whole lot, and that maybe I shouldn't. But it just give me stuff to write about (A)
This comment really should have just been a post.

Geez! Talk about long comments...
You know, I agree with practically everything that has been said here by both the anonymous person and Maxime...
Now I feel 'meeloperig'...
