this past weekend was so much fun! on friday, eva and alison took me out to dinner at mela for delicious indian food with our friends meredith and alana. after dinner we stopped by the drum circle downtown after walking down church street, and watched the hippies and (no judgment) crazies dancing. it was really cool. there were some kids there too, which was so cute. then we went to the hookah bar and smoked 2 hookahs and just chilled. when i got back i talked toali some at the luxurious vll. then i met up with my friends and we all hung out in marshall's room and watched margaret cho til we were delirious, especially my puss:


(my puss go straight for the jugular, your puss get uglier and uglier)

saturday. woke up around 10 and went to barnes and noble to use the rest of my credit that my aunt ellen gave to me. i bought the new tracey thorn cd:



which i love. it's really varied and her voice is always great. then i came back to school and went with jordanna to jen's reading at a queer chick reading. all of the pieces were really good. i'm really surprised by people's creativity and inspired. i used to write all the time, and it makes me want to start up again. but who knows.
then we ate at highsmith, which admittedly was only good because i was with my friends. then i went to eva and alison's for yummy kabobs with their neighbors, who were really cool. i'm really enjoying meeting all these new people. came back to school for the progressive prom, and dressed up some which was fun, but not the
best choice cause a bitch was hot as hell in that dance. there were some wonderful memorable aspects, and some woeful ones. but it was fun to see people that i don't usually see around school on the day to day. the music was horrific, but it was fun
to dance a little. after that,believe it or not, we went to jen and jordanna's
room and watched one of my home videos from 1991, so everyone could see how big my hair used to be. it made me miss home again, and so afterwards i went to bed.

sunday. woke up to a call from ms. pearson. we went to starbucks spent a lovely morning talking and enjoying the beautiful weather,which inspired us to take drastic action to get off campus and really enjoy the scenery inasheville. we collected marshall and jordanna and went to the blue ridge parkway. why have i been here for over a year and not yet been there? there's no excuse. it is a beautiful drive fraught with surprise tunnels, and views of the mountains. it was very serene, and
allowed me to reflect some and just enjoy asheville, which i have not been lately. we stopped at a creek/river/who knows, and marshall and jordanna waded in the water and claimed this tiny little island near an overpass, where chad and i enjoyably yet cautiously watched them. chad took some amusing videos. when i got back i went to have dinner witheva and alison again. they are taking me in it feels like to feed me. hahaha which is wonderful. we had a great time and a couple bottles of wine between us, and i came back and got in touch with young christopher and kenny and jordanna and we went to watch drop dead gorgeous. i did not make it very far, because of having partaken of so much wine, so i slumped into bed and let the weekend hold me til i had to wake up for school, and remember where i am.

today shouldn't be bad, though. art history and marketing. i can start making
my note cards for the next art history exam, and maybe (and admittedly ambitiously) make some way on my ad project.i'm feeling relatively optimistic and that's a welcome change. i've decided i will get out of my surroundings more often to keep the
experience of being here fresh, and to give me more stories to share. enjoy your monday, friends! i'ma do the same.
