My collections

do you still have taste aside from a distaste for capitalism?

A look at ME, then and now.





Then: One of my favorite things in the world used to be Art. I used to like looking at pictures and going to museums, and I was up on all the latest developments of the 20th century!! I particularly liked Egon Schiele, because his art embodies everything meaningful in the experience of the seventeenyearold, such as mirrors



Now: I don't like going to galleries for fear of being mistaken as a pseudo-counter-cultural reactionary. Also everyone else knows more about it than me.




Then: Before I discovered radical feminism, I used to enjoy displaying my body to men because fulfilling their lame romantic-sexual fantasies was a cheap ticket to a MASSIVE EGO.




Now: My current boyfriend gave me a book called "Sex and Philosophy: Rethinking De Beauvoir and Sartre" as a Christmas present three months after we met. Around the same time he also explained to me that he was attempting to explode gender roles in cuddling. It looks like I'm projecting rather a different image. I do still enjoy being manipulative though.





Then: I used to buy "vintage clothing" because I thought it would make me cool.




Now: In pursuit of a minimalist lifestyle, and also in protest against poor working conditions, the death of craftsmanship in the face of mass production, and disposability culture, I tend to limit purchases to extremely expensive objects and old shit.





Then: I used to enjoy reading novels and short stories, partly because it's quite fun, but more importantly because because I was destined to be an artiste!! Poetry is kinda boring frankly, and I never really got the point, but I had to read a lot of that too, if only for appearances' sake.




Now: I don't really read anymore because fiction is self-indulgent, and often doesn't have enough transformative content. However, I read the Daily Mail's "Femail" section obsessively. N.B. for American viewers: this has nothing to do with feminism

In sum:
Then: dilettante
Now: hypocrite

WHICH DO YOU PREFER???

eccentricity

my friends in christ church are buying a cow for christ church meadows. apparently there's a large faction in the college's administration that's been pushing to "bring back animals."

"since it takes three years for a cow to grow, we'll buy it now, give it food and stuff and, you know, amuse it and everything. get it a little wooly hat. then when our degrees are done we're going to have an enormous feast... called the vaccanalia"

right so

dang yo

This is the beginning and end of a sort of a cd I made for Adam now that he drives. I visited him in New Jersey on Tuesday which was beautiful since we ate sloppy joes, we checked out his new abode, and he surprised me by bringing me to the large hole from Garden State. He knows me well and knows exactly what I hate/what I find hilarious [that movie/a pilgrimage to the hole]. Anyway the infamous hole that teen angst Natalie Portman screams at is now a real estate development. The houses are very huge and painted tan and each has a rose window detail, and the hole is now a lovely pond! Presumably the dump was filled with dirt then some water and a few reeds were thrown in.
Last night was prom which was quite fun since I got to salsa with Gu, I got to bounce on a trampoline with Ellie, I got to do cartwheels and play basketball with Claire, I got to drink from a flask and take a very formal photograph with Bobby, I got to ride in a classy white stretch hummer with assholes, and I even got to grind with Jamie Danner! I am glad prom only happens once because the whole thing is a show, and that next time I do all this I won't have to wear a fancy dress because trying not to get dirty is exhausting.

being an asshole, dogs

i got to spend my afternoon with this man. and his dogs. mostly the dogs. it was rockin.


i hope that when we grow up we stop being embarrassed by our selves of two years earlier.
