Livejournal. It's been a while. I joined twitter. I'm so sorry.
Twitter is so much more intimidating than facebook, though. Maybe because Jay fucking Smooth, Bitch fucking Magazine and Gov. Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger read what I say. The Governor of California was my first follower, and I'm not following him. How does this happen?
After Taize I was in a very healthy mental space for a bit. Very accepting. Now it's a bit, well. You know how brains are. I'm trying, always trying.
I watched Revolutionary Road on the flight back. Northwest airlines carries an impressively wide selection of depressing movies. I always seem to be more moved by secondary characters and plots than the main one. Maybe I still see myself as a secondary character. Or maybe the writing is just better in that kind of area. Or maybe I'm just making the exceptions the rule because I only notice the exceptions.

joan of arcadia is being WAY too relevant to my life right now.
at least people in my life don't execute people for me?
oh gosh remember joan of arcadia you all?
i had a big crush on the boy(s) on this show.
i am home from school now (as evidenced by watching the scifi network [joan of arcadia is scifi?] in the middle of the day) and am surprised that i am capable of cooking food for myself!
OK now God is using a rip van winkle metaphor about love but there WAS NO ROMANCE IN RIP VAN WINKLE. I read it! God should know this.
the resemblance is not helping.
oh now season one of lost is on!

Rules:
--Go to urbandictionary.com and type in your answers to the following questions.
--Post the first definition it gives you.
--Tag people
1.) Your name? Raechel: A large quantity of awesome frequently found in female form. Can also be used to describe an something of incredible rarity and uniqueness. Not to be confused with rachel, who is a slut.
Holy cow, did you see that girl at the lobster races? She's so awesome that her name must be Raechel!
2.) Your age? 21: The age at which one is finally considered human.
3.) One of your friends?Sam: Sam means the name of one person who is: Super At Masterbation
"I bet your not Sam...like me"
4.) What should you be doing? Writing: a kind of love that thats annoying as hell and makes you want to pull your hair out. It keeps you up and night, and it makes you think about the world entirely differently. Its a passion that is unlike any other. It overides everything in your life.
What do i want to do with my life?
I want to be writing.
5.) Favorite color? Purple: Extremely potent marijuana, specifically marijuana buds that have a purple hue to them. Also accompanied by a fragant, usually fruity smell and mad perma-grin.
Yo, you gotta come over and smoke, boy! I got the purple!
6.) Birthplace? Providence: Home of Brown University (the only thing NYC socialites know the state for, due to rich college bound kids), RISD (thus the crazy shit on telephone poles and insanely dressed thayer's street shoppers), Providence Place Mall (where all Rhode Islanders have, at least, been), Federal Hill (a special place with excellent food and well done jobs), and a river flowing with acid waste and occasionally water-fire, among other fabulous Rhode Island-y things.
Let's go to Providence tommorow.
The mall?
Yes.
7.) Month of your birth? November: The best month of the year! Snow, getting ready for Christmas, celebrating thanksgiving & havin thanksgiving break!
November rocs my socs.
8.) Last person you talked to (in person)? Devin: to have vigorous passion; an endless sexual appetite
He was so devin! He went all niiight looong!
9.) One of your nicknames? Ray Charles: Famous African-American Jazz/Blues/Country/Gospel/etc. muscician circa 1950s-2004. Did such famous and great pieces as "Hit The Road, Jack", and "Unchain My Heart." He played the piano and the amazing thing was that he was blind. He is one of the greatest artists in history, along with Johnny Cash, who have more collective talent than all the crappy punk rock bands in the world.
RIP Ray and Johnny
"Unchain my heart,
Baby set me free,
Unchain my heart,
Cause' you don't care about me..."
ok, seriously, I know urban dictionary was written by 15 year olds, but the mall is where people want to hang out in Providence?

Oh gosh guys, I've been putting it off because I'm poor and wasn't sure if I'd buy the right thing but a new labret stud arrived this morning. I've been wearing the huge metal one I got when it was first done back on December 5th, and it's been destroying my gums and I occasionally bite it when I'm eating and pain happens. So a got a shorter one, and it's plastic and flexible and, goodness, I imagine this is what left-handed people felt like, you know, when schools forced kids to write right-handed? And then when they got out of school maybe they started writing with their left hand again and were finally like "aaah wow this is what this was supposed to feel like!"
My face is finally at peace. Here's hoping it lasts.
Maybe I'll get a black nose screw to match my other jewelry which is now all black and flexible? Or maybe I will feel like a tool if I did that.
Lauren introduced me to the place online where I bought it, and this is very, very dangerous for me. Their prices are reasonable and their selection is great and I just want to buy two of everything. Aw jeez.
and hooooly shit guys, I'm helping adapt a book into a play at work and my boss is sending our play to the authors of the book, sooo the motherfucking Guerrilla Girls are going to read some of my writing based on their writing. Ok, I know some people don't know who they are so imagine, um, it's like if someone was sending Kimya Dawson, Jeffrey Lewis and John Darnielle a CD of me covering their songs.
And if you don't know who any of those people are, what are you doing here?

Friends, I'm in fucking Hawaii.
So we arrived, Lauren got sick, everything is beautiful.
First day, met Jonathan Osorio, could listen to him talk/sing for a long time. Toured campus- if you're ever in Hawaii go to the UH Manoa campus and get a campus plants map and walk around.
( Ok fine let me post a few pictures. )
And then I spent New Year's Eve in a gay bar in Waikiki with some really lovely people and one fucking sweaty guy. Next morning I woke up late and spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which I am pained to tell you is the number one paid attraction in Hawaii. It's run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its mission is to "preserve polynesian culture" but it glosses over this whole "depopulation" thing and also often that "diversity" thing and definitely those "religious practices we don't approve of" thing. They are however very big on preserving the ideas that Polynesian people were athletic, care-free and adorable. They're also big on preserving culture through the sale of artifact recreations to tourists. Lauren has a picture of me holding a fluorescent blue tiki stuffie (p.s. Sumi introduced me to calling stuffed animals "stuffies" and I love it) that makes angry noises when you squeeze it.
Anyway I talked about the PCC too much because I hate it. I was so drained at the end of that day.
Yesterday, though, was amazing. We went to several shrines - two Buddhist, one Shinto, and one Mormon - as well as a few graveyards, a small kanaka maoli (native Hawaiian) community, and a stop in a small town to get some shave ice. I got some blessings at the Shinto shrine, that may have been my favorite stop of the day because there were people around and stuff going on because of the new year. The Buddhist temples were beautiful and calm, but I felt very bizarre because everyone else was talking in them. I'm not used to talking in temples/chapels, you know?
It was very interesting traveling from Kahana, the kanaka maoli community, which is threatened by development and in which several people are currently in danger of eviction, past the PCC and to the LDS (Mormon) temple, which is no less than a palace. This isn't meant to be prejudiced against Mormons, as some of the Kanaka Maoli that we talked to are Mormon themselves. It was just a pretty clear look at who benefits from tourism, what is actually being "preserved".
Anyway that night Lauren and I were on the hunt for surprisingly elusive sushi, everywhere we saw was either too expensive or way sketchy. We finally found an in-between place, more expensive than it would be at home but definitely worth it. I've never had a really exciting California Roll before. It was amazing, I kind of want to go back even though I don't have much time left in Oahu. Then we scoped out tattoo places and found one that looked nice, and then noticed their bookshelf, which held a collection of tattoo magazines and books of course, but also a lot of anthropological books about Polynesian cultures, two big books of Dali and part of the Sandman series. So we pretty much had a huge crush on the shop and took it as a sign from the universe to get tattoos while we were in Hawaii.
I'll write more later maybe, if not I'll at least have lots of pictures on facebook.
