1 Vat Jack, I am a freshman in college with a girlfriend back home finishing high school. She has changed a lot and she doesn't even know it. A year ago we were the happiest couple, like, ewr. 1 am super cool and good-looking and she is super cool and good-looking. 1 mean, we were so super cool and good-looking that MTV approached our whole group ot friends about doing a TV. show. Oh, and vw are all super stinking rich. The show was a hit...about shallow, self-loathing women in their 20s and creepy guys who like watching high school girls prance around in bathing suits. So, like 1 said, it was really popular. Anyway, I am rambling and playing with my hair-that's my thin;,'. So, like, last year my girlfriend was supercool, good-looking, really rich and on a hit MTV show. But with me oft to college now, all she is, is super cool, good-looking and really rich. How, can I stay with someone like that? I mean, no bit MTV show? Oh, sure they still do the show, but it has lost its spark and I believe its star (me.) Okay, wow, I am totally off topic; anyway, my question is what is the best way to make my hair look like I totally don't care about it, even though I completely do? I won't spend any more than 2 hours on it. Thoughts? Sincerely, Steven, from Laguna Beach Dear Steven, I. HATE. YOU. As Always, -JA P.S.- But seriously, are Jessica and Alex M. going to, like, kill each other? God, Jason is such a tool but so cool, how weird is that? You and Kristen are PERFECT for each other.
