Stepping out of the dirt of youth

And thus begins the fourth out of fifth year working towards the everglowing BFA, and I'm already ready to move onto the next thing. I saw all of the justnecessary faces today and several of the couldhavenots.

Goal for this year:
Meet fewer dipshits.

I heard the voice of the C. in several professors today and couldn't decide whether it was a lack of the C. and the natural heart's longing process, or a characteristic of her voice that all other members of the department and program learned from her and now share.

Things this past summer made me grow to miss with the fall approaching:

-Arguing on the porch until the sun barely rises with characters C. and J.

-Smoking cigarettes in the house with the jukebox playing "All My Friends" and then lying about it.

-The Highland house's garage with a cardboard box for cigarette butts and harmonizing/sobbing to Ben Folds' "Late."

-Visiting the Wagon Wheel ten minutes after it opened.

-Being prized enough to wear a "Boys of Beverly Hills 90210" t-shirt in the proper company of suiting individuals.

-Waking up on weekends in foreign places with the J.

-Tasting the first homebrew of July.

Things to look forward to:
Thursday nights playing open-mics at McGoff's and adding new poems to my catalogue.
