Not a lotta time to flesh this out, but I gott get it up this a.m., then it's off to Troy!
1. Zine-making workshop. Hello, a zine about hairy legs? By a basketballer? And so many other ridiculously cool things I could hardly stand it.
2. The GHS Principal helping to radicalize his students. "You don't have to buy Nikes," he says. This was even after I accidently told them about abortions.
3. Silly Walking. Barrow, K-Punk's three-year-old, wanted to teach me some silly walks before dinner.
4. Dinner at the Faculty Dining Room. I might move into the Writer's House! But first they have to make room for me.
5. New England is just pretty. And it's fall!
6. Geneva 13 Release Party. I think, when you make a zine about a whole town, you *should* have restaurants throwing your release party and making up drinks after you.
7. School President congratulating you onthe new issue release. See above. But he had a dog, too.
8. Feminism and International Relations class. They were so smart! I shoulda prepared better!
9. Coffee House. Delicious!
10. Muffin Pants. A seemingly fictional character that is way cooler than I am. Is friends also with Kevin and Barrow and Strummer and Anna. Who are pretty great too!
1. Raises my street cred by 10 full points, easy.
2. While visiting a public high school, teaches kids about shop-dropping and safe access to abortions.
3. Says "rad!" in a sing-song voice that is kind of infectious.
4. At lunch, I steal her potato chips when she isn't looking. If she noticed, she was cool about it.
5. She understands the way of the cat.
6. Makes my 6-month old coo and 3-year old belly laugh.
7. Makes most people who spend time talking with her more thoughtful and critically engaged with the world around them.
8. Has some of the kookiest food allergies I've ever come across.
9. She sat in my local bar, wore a recycled shirt I made, drank pumpkin ale, and took photos of my friends on her cell phone.
10. She is her own punk planet and it is pretty freakin' awesome to be in her orbit.
PS: Muffin Pants says 'hi.' She went by this afternoon when she and her sister drove a fire truck down our street.
