The Hills Are Alive With Sounds of Maturity

Ever seen one of those signs that read, genius at work? I’m starting up a collection right now to buy one and send it off to Lauren (aka LC) of The Hills. Last week I commented on how she always came off as one of the smartest of the Laguna Beach crowd, well now next to her new Hills friends she’s coming off like Albert frickin’ Einstein. Not only that, but she’s actually making responsible choices. She ditched her friends and went home before bar time because she had school in the morning. When facing the music for allowing her friends to crash the Teen Vogue party she took complete blame (at least on camera). To top it off she’s so responsible now that she got pissed at her roommate Heidi’s decision to drop out of fashion school. Meanwhile Heidi is clearly the breakout star or breakout dumb rich girl of the show. How could you not hate/love her as she proudly told Lauren that at age 19 she’s got her dream job and she even gets a real lunch break? A big part of me was jealous at her incredible naiveté and simplicity as she went from being hung up on by her best friend one moment to skipping down the street the next. Viva La Hills!
