all the cool kids

in spain, it seems there are two types of young people. either very preppy - button down shirts, sweater tied around the shoulders, khakis and loafers are the uniform - or indie rock, in which case the only requirement is a MULLET and some dirty jeans. the more dramatic and ironic the mullet, the cooler the kid. in pamplona preps dominate, especially at my private university. but the occasional mullet pops up. in barcelona, the capital of cool, mullets are everywhere. the first mullet i saw in barcelona was a girl who had layered hair. the longest layers were very dark and reached the middle of her back. the middle layers, which were dyed a lighter shade of brown, reached her shoulders. then, there was a lighter layer that went to her chin. the rest was dramatically shorter but also in layers AND, ¡an inch of her bangs were shaved!
que cool, ¿no?

p.s. bea locked herself in the bathroom, we sprung her loose and the lock still does not function.

A man should have both courage and perseverance.

obviously, i'm being rather simplistic. es mas para explicarlo a mis parientes en estados unidos en donde NADIE lleva su pelo asi, menos los super chungos.

Hi Betsy. I'm a cool kid from Pamplona, thought I'm living in Madrid. Really do you think in Spain only can you find two types of young people?

I studied in the same University you are now, so only I can tell you that go out more, and try to meet more people. Perhaps you can find more types of coolness.

Hi Betsy, Hope I filled this out right. Your Mom told us you have a really nice apartment and your roommates sound very interesting. What is your mailing address? I will be baking cookies after Thanksgiving. Love you, Jackie

Betsy, I think you should make it your mission ot help the "cool" kids redefine cool. Mullets!?! Have you seen the movie "Joe Dirt"? It's very funny and the main character is a mullet-wearing loser.

Su Tio,
