Oooh, I like the way you think. Think if I make enough off my story I can upgrade to a Martha Stewart style pad?

Fingers crossed for that nanny fund then.

I was thinking more Chicago, but that’s mainly just one of those consequences of living with Rachel. Not necessarily, sure it may make the producing gig a little difficult but there’s always the book deal to negotiate and movie rights once it hits the best seller list. Femme Fatales are totally in right now.

Unfortunately  I don’t have a sibling to take up the mantle of child bearer, so sole responsibility falls to me.

Planning to push me off the ledge if I change my mind at the last second? Heartless. 

You know, I think I'm good. 

Can I watch? And don’t worry, I’ll make sure your Streamy Award gets donated to a nice scrap metal yard after.

... You make a good point, Berry, I'll give you that.

But parents and fans -- that's a totally different beast. 

There’s a difference between being validated and depending on others for your self worth. We work in a business that thrives on validation; without others, our videos would go nowhere. But if we banked our entire existence on if people liked or hated our work, we’d be a very, very crippling office to work in.

I might just take you up on that offer. Saving single white females from their parents since 2014 -- if ever you need a second job... 

I’ve recently learned that I play a very good fake boyfriend, so if you’re ever in need of a date to a family dinner…

Sounds like we need to set our moms up for a good old coffee date, Finny D - let them has out the details so we don't have to listen to it. 

Weddings mean grandchildren. My mom asks me if there’s someone special in my life about once a week. You’re just gonna have to get used to it.

[qumorme]

Depressing? Please. Granted it's not a lifestyle for the weak or faint of heart, but still... Paperwork on a wine buzz? Totally hardcore. 

Live fast, die young.

how is is already thursday AGAIN?

That sounds depressingly like my last weekend.

[qumorme]

I don't know, I think the opinions of others matter a little - everyone likes to be validated from time to time - but yes, ultimately your own happiness is all you really have control over so might as well make it a priority. 

I’ve always found that works best. So long as you’re happy with where you are, what does it matter what everyone else expects from you?

It’s not. Your mom shouldn’t guilt you like that.

Eh, well. Parents. What are you going to do?

[qumorme]

Very oitnb, Lopez. I approve. It'll be a blow to my career, sure, but well worth it to eliminate all sources of nagging from my life. 

That's a plan. I'm kind of banking on my sister to fulfill the grandchild requirements. I figure if I spoil one of them enough they'll feel obligated to take care of me in my old age. All the perks of motherhood without actually having to go through child birth. 

Okay morbid but counter scenario, instead of jumping to your doom which while dramatic seems a little like a waste, you contemplate the finer points of matricide instead…much better to be pretty in prison then it is to be six feet under.

I don’t know, kids are okay, I may consider having one later in life provided I have enough money to hire a nanny to hand them off to when I get sick of them.

[qumorme]

Totally. If you can't beat them, ignore them.

At least there’s an easy solution; next time she calls, be ‘too busy’ to chat. Maybe she’ll see how important you really are around here then.

I’m sorry!

Oh, well thanks, but it's fine. More annoying than anything really and what is social media if not a forum to share even our most pathetic woes?

[qumorme]

What can I say, Brody? You caught me.

I don't know, depends what you're kicking. I myself have gotten into the habit of popping a bottle of red and doing some casual paperwork to the sounds of whatever Netflix suggests I might be into.

how is is already thursday AGAIN?

You’ve always been a girl after my own heart.

You have to admit, sometimes it’s nice to have a weekend to just kick back a little though.

[qumorme]

I'll be sure to pass along the message. 

But you're right, this is no longer a man's world and I have no intention of sitting at home and letting the boys have all the fun. It's only when she has you on the phone harping about wedding cakes and appropriate color combinations for a 'winter wonderland' that you really start to question your life choices. Mainly, why did I answer again?

That’s absolutely absurd. This is 2014, women are free to make their own decisions and if you wanted to join the work force, why shouldn’t you? You’re talented and very good at your job, and your parents should definitely take pride in how far you’ve come. 

[qumorme]

You think? Dead body floating around in the East River, the police could totally just scoop me out with a large pool skimmer and I'd still be pretty for my funeral. 

My sentiments exactly. Never really been one for kids myself, I mean don't get me wrong they're cute from a distance but there's something about the perma runny nose and sticky hands that really skeeves me out. 

Don’t do that, bridge jumping is a messy business, I don’t even understand what your mothers problem is, you’re a successful producer living in the greatest city in the world, anyone that wants you to give that up for a lifetime of pregnancy and pot roast needs to check themselves into a nice little padded cell.

[qumorme]

Right. Which to a normal parent would be exciting, maybe even gloating material for dinner parties or family news letters. But the Fabrays come from a very long line of house wives, so you can imagine what she thinks about career women. I always sensed she was a little disappointed when I came home from Yale with a diploma and not an engagement ring. 

You’re still so young, surely your mother doesn’t expect you to get married when you’ve got so much on your plate already. I mean, a potential chance at producing something at MTV is a huge deal. 

[qumorme]

I always seem to have that problem myself. Just when you think you've reached the end of your work pile a fresh one seems to magically appear in it's place. Of course I don't really mind being busy - work hard, play hard right?

how is is already thursday AGAIN?

I’m so behind on everything; how does this always happen to me?

[qumorme]

Things I learned today - it does not matter if you're a Yale graduate or moderately successful in your career because news of your sister's impending nuptials will always trump a streamy award. I swear if my mother asks me about my marriage prospects one more time I will be forced to hurtle myself off the Brooklyn Bridge.
