Alright, time for Pros and Cons!
Pro: I'm losing weight!
Con: By walking miles around town in 90 degree weather due to sucking on a bicycle, shit goddamn.
Pro: For the first time ever, someone has expressed romantic interest in moi(apparently has forever and I JUST NOW REALIZED), and it's a vegan punk anarchist boy!
Con: He's kind of terrifyingly socially inept, and when he actually speaks is far too vocal about his hate for people and love for masochism and being stoned all day :(
Pro: He did buy me a smoothie, and wears faux leather combat boots, and likes John Waters movies, and plays guitar/wants to start a band, and is an artist...
CON: Extremely awkward to speak with! I come up to his chest! Weirdass fetishes! Likes guns! He tried to cuddle with me at a ROOTS end-of-year campout and I was kind of freaked out because I had no idea that was his intention so he might think I hate him!
Pro: My freeschool thing
ROOTS is moving into a new space, becoming way more organized and productive and awesome for the next year, and it will be wonderful and way more centered on self directed learning than teenage daycare.
Con: It's only because we weren't sustainable enough to pay the 1k a month rent on our old gorgeous space that was 5x as big that we've lovingly tended to for two years. Half the students are going back to school, the founder(my beautiful housemate) is moving to New Mexico to live in a pirate palace and I will miss them all dearly. We're struggling, we'll only have the old house until July, and I'm not done with our zine yet!
Pro: NBTSC STARTS IN AUGUST AND I GET TO GO TO BOTH SESSIONS!
Con: I still owe them $700 and I have to sell my ball jointed doll to do so, I have none of my travel plans set up, and I have to get that money by July 1st.
Pro: I have a lot of time to work on my vegan cupcake business of magic!
Con: Because the local bubble tea place isn't hiring right now.
Pro: My film-obsessed friend who used to go to ROOTS, my first boycrush, a wonderful person, is visiting all July to make a horror movie with me! All our friends are in it and I'm Co-Director, Head of SFX(goregoregore), and "Jessica the Girlfriend".
Pro: IT'S BADASS.
Con: When it's over he'll have to go back to Buttfuck, South Carolina. And I have to pony up the money to buy fake blood supplies and liquid latex.
