so, i was asked by a nice, little crippled girl (just kidding, she just had shoulder surgery, put away the goddamn hankies) to update my blog, and who am i to deny a disabled person what she wants? nobody, that's who.
anyway. i've borrowed bernie's id again to break into the nyu computer lab. i'm pursuing what i'm sure is the thankless task of following up on my shoot-the-moon writer's training program applications. like i said, there will most likely be no outcome, but i'll probably feel slightly better if i get these off and then fail in a comprehensive kind of way, at least on that front.
in other news, things are still luciously up in the air. i've consulted all the wise people i know for perspective, and even some not-so-wise people, and it still is looking like it's going to be up to me to make some sort of executive decision about all this. great. i love being executive. (more of an executive transvestite). actually, i'm supposed to get in touch with the long island people again today, so, we'll see if anything happens there. i haven't decided what i'll do if they offer me the job. ugh. i mean, i guess i'd prefer to be offered the job than forgotten about. anyway. i'm blithering.
i went to a wedding on saturday in new haven. the ceremony was held next to a lighthouse, and the reception was held next to an actual, honest-to-god carousel. it was pretty sweet. i went with sarah pearce, who ventured all the way down from ithaca (and we know how frickin' far away that is) and then up again to new haven for it, and invited me along. as some of you may know, i had recently purchased a new suit for a very good price, so the thought of being able to use said suit again was kind of exciting. okay really exciting. yes, i'm a nerd, and a little bit of a gay too. oy.
so, quick aside: there are a lot of good looking guys in this computer lab. i secretly feel like a letch, because i guess at the outside some of thsee kids could be as young as 17(???) but on the other hand, i need to pretend like i'm a grad student. there we go. god, i miss college, if only for the extensive sample of guys. gaddamit.
another aside: i've noticed that today's nyu student is a lot more likely to wear nyu gear. i've seen hats, shirts, sweatshirts, pants, etc., and i feel bad that the tradition apathy seems to be on the decline. there's no such thing as school spirit when it comes to nyu, unless you count the unified efforts to care about everything but the institution (classes, internships, bands, etc). anyway. i need to calm down. it's out of my hands now.
anyway, the wedding was pretty cool. if i get to have a wedding someday (i should be so lucky) and i convince my mom that i don't need to have it in a synagogue, that's the kind of wedding i'd like. outside, in the air, lots of light and sun. the carousel was prett sweet. oh, and there was a chocolate fountain. so, top that.
all right, well, i guess its time to start being productive. sorry it took me so long to obey your orders of updating, sarah. here's to all the shoulders in the world.
