naperthrill! [1]

today we came back to suburbia and did the usual: went off to carribou coffee on 59th [2], then sat amongst the high schoolers with letterman jackets and emo haircuts.

soon we realized how small and happy those annoying little pricks looked, and how old and bitter we have become. too old to learn a language, too old to become a star athlete, too old to excel in an instrument thus too old to pursue the juvenile aspiration of: "i wanna be in a band!", and etc. [3]


yup, annoying little prick-like offsprings of upscale suburbanites waist-deep in cash are indeed soaked in their blissful ignorance with no concept of future, all they had to worry about was who to take to the prom. those were the days...

Naperville is a city in DuPage and Will counties in Illinois in the United States, voted the second best place to live in the United States by Money Magazine in 2006.The United States Census Bureau estimated the population in 2006 at 147,779. Naperville is the fifth largest city in the state, behind Chicago, neighboring Aurora, Rockford, and Joliet. Approximately 100,000 Napervillians live in DuPage County, while about 50,000 reside in Will County.

Once a quaint farming town, Naperville has evolved into a wealthy city due in part to a massive migration of professionals in the 1990's seeking jobs and globally renowned public schools. This can be seen in part by the enormous growth of high-tech companies such as Tellabs, Lucent Technologies and the BP North American Chemical Headquarters, all located in Naperville. With 150,000 Napervillians averaging $150,000 family incomes, the construction of thousands of multimillion dollar houses across the city has resulted, making Naperville the wealthiest city (with a population of 90,000 and over) in the entire country. U.S. News and World Report recently ranked both Naperville School District 203 high schools among the top 3 percent of high schools in the country. Also, District 204's Neuqua Valley High School and Waubonsie Valley High School won the Grammy Gold Signature School award in 2005 and 2007 respectively, ranking them top in the nation for a music program in a high school.

nothing else to do after the tragic nightly closing of carribou, wendy's and dunkin donuts? there's always the ever so fabulous 24-hour jewel osco!* you can never get bored of being pushed around in a cart and spending hours starring at the different varieties of gummy vitamins at the drug section!

*i am full of constructive criticism ♥♥♥
