Twentysomethings Like Beer, Sex

Every once in a while a writer comes along whose talent is so, erhm, different you just can’t ignore them.

Last year we had such a person in Stephen Morse, who now has his own production company. See? O, the places you’ll go when you’re named one of Philadelphia Will Do’s People of the Year.

And, recently, I learned of another young writer who is sure to shake the foundation of the literary movement. (Or something. Have you seen how nice it is outside today? I’m not spending too much time on stupid jokes right now.) The writer’s name is Ainsley Maloney. The Stephen Morse comparison isn’t really all that apt, as he wrote about how black people didn’t care enough about black people and she wrote about how sometimes guys and girls fuck each other without really caring about each other.

Her two recent articles are headlined “The Buddy System” and “Long, green trip.” The cover stories are, respectively, about fuckbuddies and binge drinking in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Let’s analyze them in a charticle after the jump.
