first REAL update of the new year.
so, during the time in which i didn't update this journal, a lot happened. so far i...
• ...found out a bunch of incredibly fucked-up shit about c.s. lewis and the chronicles of narnia for the first time. i honestly had no idea he was so racist and sexist. oh my god, i felt so stupid when i read/heard all of these things. why is that i am just now finding out about this shit? i actually read the books when i was in 2nd grade (yes, i was an avid reader--i also didn't understand half the majority of the things i read), and the only thing i remember disliking about the books was the fact that the girls never seemed to do anything important and the boys, edmund + peter, annoyed the hell out of me. i had no idea how racist or sexist these books were, but now that i do i'm not going to be re-reading any of that garbage. JESUS! oh, speaking of "jesus", i'd also like to announce that I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE CHRISTIAN REFERENCES IN THE SERIES, EITHER. holy shit! how did i not get this until it was pointed out to me?! i'm completely clueless! oh my god!! someone hold my hand!!!
• ...went to the most awesome party i've been to all year, quite possibly the most awesome ever because a bunch of my oldest + closest friends were there together, along with new friends. there was enough alcohol for everyone (everybody was at least tipsy or buzzed by 1am), as well as 2 incredibly entertaining games of kings, a game of strip b.s. (which i won), drunken hotboxing in the bathroom and more random debauchery. by the end of the evening everybody had bonded with everyone else who was there. basically i was drowning in booze, red cups and cigarette butts, and i didn't even wake up with a hangover. (i just felt really gross the day after.) not to mention the fact that the entire thing was completely free of any drama!
• ...went on so many adventures and had so much fun that i can't even remember everything that happened. yep.
• ...totally had several stereotypical 'moments' with amanda in which we not only dialogued with each other but also PROCESSED with a small group of people. oh, the horror! did i mention she goes to smith? yeah, well.
• ...cried because i know my friends won't be coming home anymore, which means that from now on we'll have to travel to wherever the other person/people happen to be to see each other. i honestly just wish people would stop leaving the west coast (a.k.a. the BEST coast) for the east coast. i'm going to have to make it out there to see everybody sooner or later, though. hopefully i'll be able to sometime within the next decade/century or so.
...so yeah, that was just a quick overview of some of the things i've been up to lately. um, a lot of horrible stuff is happening right now, but i don't want to talk about any of it on livejournal because i'm not comfortable sharing anything regarding these events in an online forum. a lot of awesome things were going on in my life not too long ago, though, so that's nice. also, a lot of awesome things were supposed to happen to me in the future, but i guess i jinxed everything because i blabbed about them when i probably should have just kept quiet or whatever. way to go.
