it's almost like i have a life okay just so there's no confusion about the title life refers to all that is social my academic life has been 'flushed down the crapper' as it were as you can see i've recently been in the habit of mixing vulgarity with condescension its earned me a lot of new friends (sarcasm) okie well the play finished and we had a wunderbar audience that LAUGHED thank the LORD then i came on too strong to cutesy nearly hindu thing and he ran away screaming (almost a metaphor) i then attended an afterparty where i made peace with chica that i had resented afore we wrote a song together in a backroom with a haunted mirror (this odd polish wiccan chick i *barely* know insists that the spirit of an old egyptian man dwells within it... did i emphasize i BARELY know her) the room was cozy and i joined two other 'liberal' chickies who were smoking up. and no i didn't passively smoke a joint, fresh sara saved me in the nick of time :) later that weekend i attended fresh sara's birthday bash at al azhar (which initially was tainted by memories of the ex *sigh*) but i got over it and listened dutifully to beautiful arabic poetry plus i got to feel like the lost cast member of 'the sound of music' sitting on those hills being one with nature okay not completely one... there was a moment when the tiny insect thingies got a bit finicky and did this weird swarming thing around all of us (think of a very bad sci-fi movie and you might begin to understand the feeling)-- after a few panic attacks, flailing/running down a hill to cement and lots of spasming and YAA3ING we eventually settled down that day i also received an sms from the nonie saying olive has finally gathered balls but alas and alack the poor nonz is suffering from food poisoning (in true damsel in distress fashion-- i swear these guys are my daily soap opera) its been a year though, kifaya ba'a, they better be mackin' by next season later i wrote yet another song with fresh sara, sara plays bass and her friend plays the drums and her other friend Jazzy is a wonderful vocalist-- this is possibly a band people, possibly named 'the Hassanein Quartet'-- (hassanein is the name of my kirsh/belly) I then brought guitara to school so she could listen to song and she may or may not be working on a bass line as I write this i felt unquestionably cool today it was a rare and prized feeling the looks of awe/confusion/wonder as we figured out drumlines, transitions, solos were as food for the bad musicians ego then after that i discovered that my lungs seem to be in air-sac popping mode again and i got ciggies i think i'm a bitter smoker you know how they have jolly and mean drunks i figure they have chillaxed and bitter, bitter smokers i think bitter smokers fully understand the sort of deliberate masochism involved chillaxed smokers just have nothing better to do the nicotine-sucking cont'd throughout yet another outing (it's almost like i'm not a couch potato) at the nady with the mou i learned of many strange and wondrous things there for example i learned that i never want to see old people doing yoga ever again i also learned l'aroma is the economic equivalent of bird flu-- both spread quickly and disturbingly but we ignore the signs and eat chicken/drink coffee anyway in other news, remember the mag i thought i QUIT well yeah apparently they're under the impression that i'm graduating soon (umm does a year and a half qualify as "soon"?) and offered me a full-time job okay lets re-assess here -my articles are late 90% of the time ...dude I wouldnt even hire MYSELF anyhow, i have to register for my courses next semester (something that i should've done oh...a week or two ago) this would require finding out which courses i want--or more accurately, which insanely boring/unpopular/plain old bizarre courses are still open at this point in time: nubian architecture 401 anybody? *sigh* i may or may not be taking three political science courses with su if i do end up taking courses with su i'll probably be way more fascinated with her ebbie saga than the material... university would be so much easier without courses whatever happened to learning through life experiences huh? by those standards i'm a frikken genius (yes that was a dr. evil reference) ah well have to get to bed wish me luck my loves |
