    Okay, as a young woman under 35 this kind of story makes me feel empowered. I take my earning power very seriously and I am very proud of it. As I have belabored over and over again here, I had to move back in with my mother and step-father due to the shitty economy. They've been having financial troubles due to a custody battle, his unemployment due to work in the financial sector, and her work nearly drying up. The last few months, they've borrowed over $2,000 from me and I bought them a sofa. I've been the only one who could afford to celebrate birthdays and holidays since Christmas and have been buying presents for everyone for this Christmas because they won't be able to afford to do much. Since this all started happening, my status in the household went up dramatically. I suddenly have pull over what we eat and when we eat. I no longer get comments about the things I do or the state of my car/bedroom. I don't even think they're cognizant that they do it, but they treat me differently now that I'm a major financial contributor. #women

    Factory Girls is amazing. I highly recommend it, it's a great nonfiction book that reads very easily but still goes deep. Also, #moneypowerrespect is the greatest hash tag yet.

    If you read Edie: An American Girl it kind of shows you more of Warhol than I think is often reported. It made me equally love and despise him for the way he treated people so carelessly.

    That songs "Candy Says" is really nice. I wonder in what way she inspired those lyrics.

    @JessaFields: I'll trade you for what's inexplicably shown up in mine. Springsteen: "Candy's Room."
