Missing New York. Missing out on life.

Mar 29, 2007 00:42

Apparently I wasted the past almost four years of my life. I assume this because the only good thing I can find to do nowadays in my "free time" at college ("Free time" = time I should be working on my thesis, doing my watercolor assignment, reading or writing that paper I havent turned in yet) is watch television and spend money. I've been trying to go to more events and hang out with different people this week, and it's been pretty good getting my mind of the two things that bother me most. I still wish I did better things with the rest of my "free time" -- like finish the book I started or make/sell some jewelry. Or learn how to actually get places on a bike instead of relying on downhill slants to cruise around parking lots because I'm still embarrassed at not learning how to ride a bike until I'm almost 22.

List of things to do before I die am 30:

a) Ride my bike TO SOMEWHERE. And maybe not hit a curb and fall into a bush (again).
b) Tell everyone what I really think about them.
c) Show work in a gallery.
d) Drop a (bootleg) album.
e) Make a (bootleg) video to go with said (bootleg) album for posterity.
f) Think of something better to have said to John Cameron Mitchell besides, "I love....your....uh, you."
g) Learn how to cook all my friends' favorite meals.
h) Get along with my family.
i) Visit Mexico.
j) Give New Jersey a chance.
k) Learn spanish and sign language.
l) Visit Africa.
m) Learn to drive and swim (not at the same time).
n) Learn how to do my taxes properly.
o) Have a job I actually like and if not, find one.
p) Be better at keeping in touch with people.
q) Shave my head.
r) Understand American politics, at least basically.
s - z) TBA - I feel like I need to have 26, but cant think of that many...

In other news, I finally got a chance to chat online with someone after asking for people to help with my thesis for a while. She was extra nice and really great to talk to, so I am feel really optimistic!

Oh, yeah... and I met Kate Bornstein yesterday (!!!!!) She, too, was INCREDIBLE. After listening to her talk, I really felt inspired, hopeful and probably the happiest I've felt for a long time. I think Kate said everything I needed to hear from someone else right now. Kate Bornstein also reminded me that I'm a big wuss. Probably needed that, too. Michael Lucid was extra-nice, too. It's been a good semester for meeting personalities I really like/admire. After running into all the people I have since highschool, you'd think I'd find less stupid things to say to them besides shit like: "Hey, nice bag..." "Omigod, it's you." "I'm sorry I stepped on you, I didnt see you." "You have a trampoline? Sweet." "What are you doing in that window?" "You're a cock." "I'm not stalking you." "You have a muffin booty." "Hey do you always have cybersex orgies with your fans?" "Can we put a microwave on your stage at your next show? His name is Mr. Micro." (both in person and over email) "She looks like an angel." "Is your hand on my ass?" "Let's trade bracelets." "I'm bored. Can I stand around with you guys?" and "(scream of fear)" The last was directed towards Kevin Bacon and completely warranted because he's a scary mothafucka. I dont regret that. At all.



Oh. Shit. No.

Another thing: Kate Bornstein basically said that since we fully re-grow every cell in our body every 7 years there are pretty much [your age divided by 7 minus one] of your dead bodies disintegrated and scattered 'roun' town. Chew on that.

Also, I need new icons...

to do list, kevin bacon is scary
