It Feels so Good to Burn

This:

That is me. Doing a piece for forensics right now. So, you can check it out if you want, not the best performance, but when is it ever? A work in progress. it was written by Aliza Goldstein, check her out by clicking her name, and she has a post about it. Also, if you want to do the piece at some point in the future (but please, I beg you, not for the 2011 Forensics season) she has it posted up there, as well. And she's clever and funny, so read her blog. 

Does this love of the arts make me look hipster?

Squawk

This is my summary of Black Swan in one picture:
Craswalet?
This is my summary of Black Swan in one sentence:
Lesbians are weird.
I went and saw it with a lesbian but she doesn't count.

So. Yeah. If you don't already want to see it just based on that, there's something wrong with you.

Does this love of the bizarre make me look hipster?

My blog wanted me to title this post "JAKE SHEARS"

Me: "I want to be famous. It's kind of a problem."
A.L.: "DREAMS ARE NOT PROBLEMS!"
Me: "They are if you have to deal with Freddy. Or Jason. Whichever one, you know, did the stuff with the dreams."
A.L.: "OR IF IT'S FUCKING INCEPTION!"

I think I'm just going to start putting quotes of silly conversations I have with my friends at the start of my posts now. This post will not have an overall point unless I find it somewhere in the mess.

I'm a senior, and it's sort of crazy to be in my last semester of grade school...ever. I guess, theoretically, I could still fail every class and not be able to graduate and go to college, but that is highly unlikely. 

I would like to apologize for writing so well for like two weeks and then totally stopping. I didn't want to write the second half of the interpol post because I was afraid it wouldn't stand up to the first one, and now I'm at the point where it is probably never going to be written. I promise that from this moment forward, I will look for interesting things to blog about and story arcs to pursue, and hopefully writing at all will reinspire my creativity, and get me out of this silly funk I've been in for a few months.

I have some intense forensics competitions coming up, one of the most important of which being state, as it is my last chance to get a state ring. I don't even care about the honor, the glory, or the fame, I just want a state ring. And this year, I will get one, even if I have to compete in every single debate event to get it. At least, I hope so. 

I swear I will fine things to talk about. I swear.

Does this lack of interesting subjects make me look hipster?

No. No it doesn't.

Being boring is totally un-hipster.
