Radical Dreamers
Yeah, so its song from
Chrono Cross. It's also the title this year is supposed to follow.
Plebe year I named my
yearbook Joan of Arc. Yuk year it was Death and Rebirth. Last year was
declared Nachtengel
Joan of Arc was something
my friend Eric called me when he was talking to my boyfriend of the time.
He said I was a Joan of Arc of our High school. To this day I still don't
know what he meant, but I have a couple interpretations that carry into
my situation here. Joan is either thought of as a saint or a loon, she
was eventually burned at the stake for carrying out what she believed
in. People plebe year either treated me well or really .. not nice.
Death and Rebirth is
the title of Evangelion episodes and describes an improvement in status.
Could be the contrast between yuk and plebe year, moving into a new company
and having a considerably better reputation. Or it could describe the
recovery from the drama of first semester yuk year.
Nachtengel, night angel,
its a happy hardcore song, a character of mine, and my alias for my website.
It describes what I've been this whole time, a night hawk, an insomniac.
Cow year being no exception, what with Bobby and Noble and Allison etc
...
And that brings me to
this year, it hasn't past, but its been decided, its the one thing that
hasn't changed about me since high school, maybe ever, I'm a dreamer.
Though it feels like
this place is slowly killing me ....
Sure, I choose to be
here and stay here, I'm still having a hellava time accepting my status
and fate. I returned with an incredible optimism despite the fact that
my car was broken down in Mass. and I was back at the Point, my personal
Hell. I was eager to see all my friends, esp Peter and Bobby, but not
so much Bobby anymore as it was Peter. I had a great job that required
that I be cheerful and optimistic and spirited. I am a firstie.
It took less than 3
days to depress me. With the new comm and his policies, that make this
place more like the world I hate and jeopardize my graduating and sanity.
The retarded 1sgt for my company who made my room a three man room and
hooked up his classmates with good rooms. My roomie who kept moving the
furniture around in inefficient ways that after much grief eventually
lead to the way I originally suggested. The sweltering, humid weather
that was worse than anything I could imagine, perpetually sweating though
my clothes. I couldn't find Peter or Dan. I lost my privies. I was sucking.
