Hmmm....well, I did drink a little last night...
Late this morning, I had a dream that I was Christina Rossetti and that D. G. (who looked nothing like the real Dante Rossetti) gave me this big parcel as a gift. Mark you, this was taking place in present times in my parents' house and I went to my bedroom, which looked like it did when I was 14, and opened it. It was full of those old lady cute-kitten-in-a-watering-can t-shirts and some really cheap, ugly jewlrey, you know, the kind you'd order from Avon 15 years ago? And I was totally delighted by these gifts.
And on top of all of that, I woke up with the Beach Boys' rendition of "Sloop John B" stuck in my head. Who knows?
I'm 21, and engaged to Thom, who just happens to be 28 years my senior. I'm a college student, 2 semesters away from a B. A. in English, and I plan on getting a doctorate. I am a fledgeling Buddhist, and also a vegan for both health and ethical reasons. I read, and sometimes write poetry, which I've intensely studied since I was 13, and I'm probably a far more exacting critic than most you'll find in poetry journals. I love Latin, foriegn languages in general, and now I've picked up another interest: bugs. Right now, with the help of several blogs, I'm learning how to be a better feminist, and to try my best to eradicate my implicit racism, in a country where white implicit racism is the status quo.
