This fiercely stubborn girl's on her own again. I don't know how many times I'll say I'm better on my own before I finally believe myself.
Since I turned twenty one I've only been kind of an alcoholic, if you phrase it gently. I have control of my head for the first time since puberty with much thanks to my therapist Cheryl, and a small daily dose of zoloft and meditation. I'm providing this much self-disclosure incase any of you might be considering treatment for your crazy brains. It's really not a bad thing.
The semester is coming to a close and everyone is ready. Christmas is in the motherfucking air (I want to puncture every blow up lawn snowman: build a real one, you fools! that shit will all end up in a landfill someday)!
I'm making friends all over the city, but Erin and Julia are my favorite because those girls are absolutely ridiculous (and that's only one of the things we have in common)! I have also been meeting a lot of talented poets and movie-makers. Saving money for a trip to Waveland, Mississippi during spring break with a group of Emersonians interested in cleaning up after Katrina. College students with extra time and energy have been migrating there from all over the country to pick up the pieces, I think there's something to be said for that. People get so cynical about our generation being good for nothing, but the youth is such a tremendous force for change, and some of us, I think, may have the right idea.
As for everything else, I'm still reading lotsa books and knitting lotsa scarves. You can count on me for that much.
