Happy Christkwanchanmas everyone! :)
So my today was good. Various presents and lots of family. Christmas didn't really feel like Christmas this year though. Oh well. Maybe next year will be better.
All last week I spent in Katy with Paddi cleaning GG's house. Paddi just moved back from DC to save up money to open bars in Austin and NYC. Whichever college I go to, I'll be a bartender on the side. Pretty neat. Tomorrow I start training at Gerlands. Whoop de doo :p
I've been thinking a ton about college and the end of high school and life after.. this. And I have to say, I am completely fucking elated. I'm only a junior, but I only have a y6ear and a half left!! Yay!! I'm either going to UT Austin or NYU for undergrad and majoring in journalism with emphasis on magazine and photo journalism with a minor in business and eventually I'll work my way to being editor-in-chief of some big magazine. Vogue, teenVogue, Seventeen..something like that. I think I'd prefer to work on a teen magazine actually. With the business one day I can start my own magazine. It's so funny. You could never really tell from looking at me or whatever, but I am such a fashionbeautyhighlifecity freak. I livelivelive for the city. London and NYC are my favourites but I can take almost any of them. To quote Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, "there's city and there's country. Everything else is just a wasteland" Exactly how I feel. I'm so lucky. Everything I want to do with my life, I know so many people who can help me get what I want. Granted, only my own sweat and blood and shattered nerves will make me feel absolutely fabulouse when I reach my goals, but sometimes you do need connections.
Also, I want to do something for AIDS. Not like finding a cure and that stuff, but raising awareness, eliminating the stigma, all of that. I'm going tomorrow to buy that t-shirt from Kenneth Cole. One day I can do something bigger. Hopefully being in the magazine industry can help me with that.
I'm listening to Ashbury Keys. They always remind me of the city. Hopefully next year I'll be in London. It will be glorious, and I will never want to come back. It's where I belong.
...Miranda S, I read your editorial from the last paper and I absolutely loved it. It's exactly how I feel. Everything I see you write I'm like "yes!! that's it exactly!!" Crazy cool.
