i was too, especially considering how quickly s/he must have had to do it to avoid being hit by the everpresent oncoming train [though i forget which station it was in--it's much less impressive if it was the G line for example]
wow. hilarious words. a fascinating read. Poetry that I dig. hey! Can I be your roadie? Bonnaroo sounds like fun! And Gastonbury - wowsa! very amp-ed post. Doesn't sound like you need an amphetamines. bon voyage, madame. keep it high and bright!
oh yeah. What's the thesis? a Dialectic on the Selective Unconscious? ha!
haha i am at bonnaroo right now, being a complete tool by hiding in the VIP tent on someone else's computer. i have no idea whose computer this is, even! but i was paranoid about my 100+ message inbox so i "had" to go online. my formerly black boots are now completely brown with mud & i am laughing at all the hippies in their sandals being swamped by the dirt. it's surprisingly civilized here if you're performing or on staff--we get free food, free drinks, free showers while everyone else pays $5 to look at a pizza & $7 to shower [literally! this is the case! no wonder these fuckers never bathe
( ... )
I was appalled by the money-money-no food allowed, you gotta buy from our corpor-RAT vendors stuff on the Bonnaroo site. And to arrive there for find out a shower is $7 is obscene. oh well. If the psuedo-hippies can afford to pay for the tickets and the fast food, they can pay for a shower! damn.
I was close on the title: "Selective Unconscious" - We all select where we live, right? Maybe not tho! ...and I had no clue you were doing sociology or is it psychology? I've been telling myself for years to go back to school, but I really don't know where to start or what I'd want to study! I like all subjects. Life seems to be my chosen teacher. Part of my brain just wants a degree and the title that goes with it. I can relate to being an overachiever.
i majored in writing/journalism, but was originally going to do neuroscience or psychology--the project is mostly just an unwieldy hybrid beast of sociology & journalism with wads of psychology thrown in here & there & a bit of healthy speculation [i did originally want to do fiction when i started out as a writing major, but gradually changed my mind] i appreciate the degree because it validates what i've been doing / not doing with my life for the past four years. why not go back to school & just study whatever subjects you find interesting? even if you're "majoring" in one subject you generally have plenty of latitude to take other classes, unless you're going to some rigidly-curriculumed shithole like columbia which i made the mistake of attending once...i'm pretty sure in most places you can even get a vague 'liberal arts' major & not even have to take the requisite amount of classes in one discipline to "major" in anything!
no, you really don't i've heard there are a lot of really lickable feet at the bottom of the east river though, check down there--also a lot of whiny goth chicks who look like drowned raccoons--i know you like those

the worst part is i've only been out of new york a week & i miss the goddamn subway & am hatching plans to do the equivalent of my thesis for EVERY SUBWAY LINE. i am waiting for the bad-idea light to go on over my head but it's sleeping on the job

hold you close
try to restrain
you
your lips
I see them and I want them
your hands
I wanna hold them
your black eyeshadow
I want to see through it
and get it on me
on my face
I wanna hold you down
and release you too
when you're at the train station
can I sit beside you?
