The Reminder

So I’m officially back in NYU! Woot! Got here at 10 AM, and after a long day of craziness I’m finally settled in. (It’s 7:35 by the way!)

I’m prepared more this year. “I know more than I knew before.” It’s funny to lock back and realize how little you really knew about what you thought that you knew. “I don’t know what I knew before, but now I know I wanna win the war.”

So on to other subjects. My new roommate is actually really nice. Some of the people that I talked to who knew her said otherwise. “And lies divide, lies divide.” I’m glad I didn’t listen to what the others said. You have to form your own opinions if you want the most out of a relationship. As for my other two suitemates…well I don’t know yet. We’ll have to wait and see.

Lyrics by Feist, I feel it All

Mama's Gun

I don’t understand why these kinds of things keep happening to me.

“Oh why world?

Why world

Do you want me to be so mad? Yeah”

I haven’t even gotten to the city yet and someone is already fixin to throw cow shit at the fan I’m standing underneath. My suitemate, that just decided to get in contact with me two hours ago, wants me to move out of my spot in the dorm so her friends can come in. I was nice to her when I responded with a resounding no, but who knows how much father this might go. She says my actual roommate wants to move out, which she hasn't told me, and that her friends mom works in housing and can make the switch before move in. Who does this?

“I'm tellin' you the truth

I hope I'm not being too cruel

Since you ain't playing by the rules

I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool”

Honey, your friends live in Carlyle, which is two minutes away. Just go visit them. Don’t try and get your way with me. I don’t play that. I like where I am. I'm not going to drop everything I have going so you can live with people you'll see everyday anyway. Get over yourself.

“Oh why can't we get along and

Take all the funky tones

And make up a funky song

That be bangin on and on”

I don’t understand why this has to start already. I had enough drama with my roommates last year! Why?!

Lyrics by Erykah Badu, Penitentiary Philosophy

Anjulie

So I realized I’m way too busy doing nothing to be able to post during the summer. But the school year is coming back around and I’ feeling the need to get back into the swing of things. I’m ready to be back in NYC! This year I have to do a lot of things, but getting better grades is high on the priority list. That and finding a new gay friend (or multiples) and having more of a life. One can’t study all the time! Except maybe I should if I want better grades…

“Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun. Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too long.” (India. Arie – Strength, courage , and wisdom)

The time to kick my horrible high school habits was last year, but better late than never. My dad told me this summer that I needed to get my priorities straight; that I wasn’t focused on the right thing and psychology wasn’t a real career. He said I was just confused about what I wanted to do with my life.

“Some people say I don’t know my way; I cant find my place and my dreams are much too big for the head they’re in. ‘When you gonna give it all up?’ I’m stranded in my own world. I’m going nowhere. I thought you knew me better.”

It’s hard to hear from a parent, no matter how estranged you are from them, that you basically suck. If I was any less prideful I would be hurt. But right now all I can say is fuck you.

“Boy I hear what you’ve been playing at your radio,

but I’ve been bumping something special through my head phones.

You can say I’m dumb,

say what I’m doing is wrong,

say it at the top of your lungs.

Boy don’t you underestimate me”
