The only point of my day in which I had some peace and sanity was, of course, literature class. It's amazing how one hour can keep you from coming home crying and cursing out the world and willing death and destruction upon all mankind. My sonnet, which was written in ten minutes the night before, was applauded (and happened to be the only sonnet written; everything else was a quatrain), and I got to act out bits of Henry V. Mister Shakespeare, you are my saviour. Thank you for keeping me sane. And, by the way, you have also rescued the world from burning in hellfire, as I was prepared to invoke the anger of the gods upon it.
Well there is a beacon of light in all of this, and it's filled with all sorts of happy. I am going to be in the Rolling Stone!! OMIGEE!
You're jealous, I know. It's okay. Really.
Two weeks ago I participated in a photo shoot for TWLOHA in Washington Square. It was possibly the best experience of my life. People came out from Toronto and Virginia and Delaware and DC just for this one day. Mostly kids just out of high school, all coming together for a few hours. It was absolutely amazing: there was so much energy and life and unity. We left the busy-ness of our lives and all our worries behind. It was a whole little community right in Washington Square. And people were staring as they passed, a few were interested, and one guy started cursing for who knows what reason. He must have had a bad day. Anyway, we chalked up the square with messages of love and hope, and we sang "All You Need Is Love" with the lead singer of The Early Hours. I met the founder Jamie Tworkowski, who is so wonderful and amazing. He actually invited us to be apart of this, that's how amazing he is. And I held his hand as he was tummy surfing the crowd in one of the shots!! Highlight of the highlight of my day right there.
So the issue comes out today, and I'm SO excited. And I'm meeting up with a little group from the shoot in a few weeks, and we're going to chalk up Union Square with more love and hope, and we'll share stories and build friendships and love each other. And this is on our own; these people are amazing, and their voices deserve to be heard and their stories need to be shared.
If you have made it this far, I thank you for putting up with me and my rambles. Night.
