			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/05/blackberry.gif" alt="blackberry.gif" align="left" />So, I&#8217;ve moved to NYC for the summer, and my cousin/roommate has wasted no time in introducing me to her glamazon downtown world of secret clubs, semi &#8211; big names and other assorted good &#8211; looking people who have Blackberries for no reason (seriously, I feel Amish with my two &#8211; year old cell phone. But even if I somehow scrounged up the cash for a Blackberry, I would never use it. I&#8217;d feel pathetic because I get about one text message per month. From my mom).</p>
<p>Anyway. I feel a little weird being around all these quasi &#8211; famous and ultra rich young hipsters. I can easily pass for one of them, but deep down I&#8217;m nothing but a simple farm girl. Which makes the prospect of dating a pseudo &#8211; socialite tricky. I automatically assume that all the Blackberry boys are wayyyyy out of my league. I mean, all they need to do is look at my cell phone to see I&#8217;m nothing like the other Kirsten Dunst clones.</p>
<p>Strangely, though, fancy suitors are competing for my attention left and right. But I&#8217;m having trouble letting down my air of mystique for fear that they will discover my true identity and deem me below their league.<span id="more-2908"></span></p>
<p>In high school, social castes worked for you and against you. Maybe you weren&#8217;t in the popular clique, but at least your role was defined in one way or another and you didn&#8217;t really have to worry about social movement. I found true happiness in the dorky halls of the drama wing and couldn&#8217;t care less about my social rank.</p>
<p>But now, everything is muddy. I have no idea where I stand, and apparently, I&#8217;ve been underestimating myself. Which is a scary &#8212; not to mention depressing &#8212; prospect.</p>
<p>So what do I do? Obviously, I&#8217;ll continue to be my weird self because I&#8217;m not sure I know any other way, and intrigue is the greatest boon to romance. But to be league &#8211; less is not to care at all, which I&#8217;m not sure I can do&#8230; although I can definitely pretend. I mean, I&#8217;ve got more important things to worry about than $14 martinis and snagging the attention of avant &#8211; garde &#8220;artistes.&#8221; I have crops to rotate and cattle to herd.</p>
