As I left the Norman Public Library earlier this evening, I realized that I am a walking stereotype. The books I checked out: The Student's Vegetarian Cookbook; The Joy of Cooking: All about Vegetarian; How to Publish Your Poetry; and Bad News: The Decline of Reporting, the Business of News, and the Danger to Us All. This came after spending over an hour copying down information from the 2005 Poet's Market. I'm surprised the librarian didn't laugh in my face when I checked out my books.

I came home to drink a mug of green tea and watch The Daily Show while I check LiveJournal. Later I'll cook up a nice vegan dinner and try to read some Italian.

Jesus.

I think later I'll listen to some Belle and Sebastian while knitting a scarf*, burning scented oil, writing a check to Greenpeace, and thinking about how I should drop out of school and live as a bum in New York.


*This actually won't happen because I don't know how to knit... yet. But the rest of that shit will probably happen, yeah.

I'd also rather be in San Francisco, but I said New York to fit more with the stereotype.

Yeah, I'd love to cook together sometime. Cooking rules the school.

Doesn't it speak poorly of a society when one can view herself as a stereotype, given that she has very well-defined reasons for thinking and doing things?
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm surprised all of those things can fit into one particular stereotype. Fill me in, wouldya?

haha, my cello prof never bothered to learn noun genders. He told me he'd say "lu" or something like that, in between le and la so ppl wouldn't notice he couldn't speak correctly. He studied for a couple years in France, and says he managed to fool most ppl.

I don't know. I do Italian, not French. (In Italian, I would say masculine.)

We all have that realization at some point. I realized it when I was buying a set of garden shears, a dozen eggs, and a replacement kitchen faucet at Wal-Mart at 4 o'clock in the morning. I'm "That dude we're gonna wait ten minutes inside so we can be sure he's left the parking lot before we go out there."

Heehee.

Actually, I think the people working at Wal-Mart at 4:00 are usually scarier than the customers.
