I had an experience of pure joy and pure revolt today. The pure revolt was on the trolley back into UVA. A weird old guy sat next to me and tried to have a conversation with me. I normally would try to be nice and friendly, but I think he was drunk and I felt uncomfortable. I now remember why I hate public transportation. He even made me shake his hand... twice... And I think I'm in love! (not with the creepy old guy) With Bjork! We listened to her music today in class and had a lecture about how she transgresses popular music. It was amazing. I started crying after listening to her song "Cocoon". It was simply gorgeous. I did feel a little silly crying for seemingly no reason at O-Hill, but I enjoyed how I felt. Have you ever heard or seen something so beautiful that it makes you cry? I'd never heard her before today. I think when I was younger I got her confused with Yoko Ono in my head, which is really bizarre. But I *love* her now, or at least I'm beginning to...
Life is amazing!
