ten realizations

1. I hate the MLA Handbook. I don't know why. It's just a bitch looking up proper citations, even though I'm very meticulous about it.
2. I'm obsessed with wearing scarves indoors. Not long Isadora-Duncan-scarves, just short ones. It keeps my neck warm. I like it when my neck's warm. It must be my mother rubbing off on me.
3. If I decide to call Andromeda "Andy" for short, I could totally devote the song "Andy, You're a Star" to her (not Andromache - she's not a star). It would be from her lady-in-waiting, Irene. They have sort of a lesbian relationship. Sort of. It's weird.
on the field I remember you were incredible
on the mats with the boys you think you're alone
with the pain that you drained from love
in a car with a girl (boy), promise me (s)he's not your world
cuz Andy, you're a star!
4. I hate most heroines.
5. I am prone to disliking most tomboys.
6. I like women that are referred to as bitches, especially by men.
7. Itching is a very easy symptom for a hypochondriac to psychosomatically manifest.
8. Andromache is modeled after Laura Ingalls Wilder from Little House on the Prairie. So she's kind of a tomboy. But she's also a bitch.
9. I don't have the right to critique anyone else's love lives because clearly mine is fucked up beyond words.
10. I'm going to be a Southeast Asian-ist. I told my mother and she started laughing.
Me: I know, it's funny.
My mom: No, it's not funny. It's just that, you know... you come from a family of carpenters, so by god, you're going to be a carpenter too.
For some reason this reminded me instantly of Jesus, probably because in "Jesus Christ Superstar", Judas says,
Nazareth, your famous son
should have stayed a great unknown,
like his father carving wood,
he'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests
would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm
No one alarm.
And no, I'm not comparing myself to Jesus. And that just reminded me of The Simpsons episode where Homer goes on a hunger strike and sings,
dancing away my hunger pains,
moving so my stomach won't hurt,
I'm kind of like Jesus
but not in a sacrilegious way
