An Old Me.

clinical depression, an interracial engagement, feminism, general weirdness, and staying fabulous, or at the very least, functional, in this world. part manifesto / commentary, part social coping project to generate inspiration and positivity!

Katrina.

poor, poor New Orleans. i wonder what Marie Laveau is doing about this. hope school is out tomorrow. remind me to swing by JSU to see all the Tulane boys.

1 week.

it's me and his one-week anniversary.
antonio comes back home today.
joshua p. is attractive [but then again, so are a lot of people].
i love my life.

i don't particularly like juggling so many hearts; i'm really not that type of person to enjoy such a thing. maybe i should leave all of them alone and get back with josh. SYKE! or "PSYCHE," like Brown insists. josh is doing the smart thing by staying away.

why was i such a jerk to him, anyways? he really is a cool person.
lo and behold my multi-dimensional philosophy of the subject: "i don't know." you ain't getting no deep confessions from me right now. i gotta double date today without the other girl.

i ain't dead, yet. [un-private version]

i'm not dead. life is great. school is great. cheer and dance is great. antonio is still mine.
but,... what happens with this?! xtina and BC, ya'll can see me from a mile away.

i ain't dead, yet.

i'm really not dead, and don't even want to be. in fact, i have no real grounds for complaining. what are the real goings-on, then?

school is "ace." cheer is great. dance is wonderful. i'm running out of positive adjectives, here. antonio is--not the only boy in my life right now. what's wrong with two boyfriends?

point is, larry came to terms with me being everything that he wanted in a girl [i knew i was!]--just the girl in a strange guise. he described it as his mistake for not taking me when he had the chance because it seems like God is playing some joke on him. i know that feeling, although i doubt God plays jokes. and since he has had no luck with the other girls in his life, and it's smart for him to be with me, he just said last night "...let's be together..."

why not? i love antonio, jyeah. but larry excites a whole other part of my person. how about this? those dreams that i had about him every night when i was a freshmen and head-over-heels for him?--having them now. how does he do this to me? how does he do it?

i'm going to be extra romantic [stupid] here and go for it. i love larry aussi. forced in a position to be hester prynne. i just better not have a baby.

wtf? honestly...

copied from SB's LJ:

To Whom It May Concern:

We've got an assignment for the 3 summer reading books aside from LMTTM.

Verbatim: "students should list all characters and weite a 5-10 word identification of each. Identification means to list information that distinguishes each character from others in the book."
"In addition, choose ONE of these for each book and prepare an oral report:
The significance of an important scene
The growth experienced by a major character
The development of the theme"

This is from a handout that I got back during school...a 2-page, tan handout. The assignment's on the back, in case people've missed it.


copied from a comment on the matter:

I called the Director of Curriculm's office the other day. They call back and said that from what they knew, we didnt have to read rocket boys. The oddity of the astorized note in the APAC reading "AP does not have to read this," doesnt make sense because AP has its own section in the Summer Reading list and there isnt and AP for Eleventh as far as I know. The confusioning nature of this lead me to read the APAC reading guide linked on the Summer Reading page. It didnt adress my concearns(that letter is also where I got the phone number I called). Murrah also doesnt seem to know, as I called them. I dont think very many people have heard the identification assignment you are posting about. What are your sources?

copied from me and BC's conversation about it:

rouge_rhapsody says: the "assignment"
brittanycpace says: spencer's lj, right?
rouge_rhapsody says: yep
brittanycpace says: i don't really care. how about you?
rouge_rhapsody says: nope
rouge_rhapsody says: we didn't have to read RB?
brittanycpace says: ok...i only read one of the books anyway, so i really don't give a damn.

don't you love MHS? what a mess.
