Fiery and full of life (a red blog!)

I'm really glad we have this blog too :) it reminds me of where I come from, what I think is important and what I'm working for... of course, I get to keep up with Gracia's latest schemes, Tani's profound musings, Adhira's east-coast cuteness, and Josie's identity as Tia ;)

Adhira, I wouldn't say high school was at all better. Remember the limitedness, the way the school was run (like a damn prison), the shelteredness of ISM and the ignorance of a lot of people at school? At college I feel like I'm at home (though of course nothing replaces family and you guys). Of course Mudd's a little bubble, where people are generally pretty liberal, damn smarter than normal, and fun to boot. I know what you mean about a few things though, I miss city life, shopping, fashion (I hate that the majority of people, sometimes including myself, wear t-shirts, sweatshirts and jeans all the time) I miss you guys a lot (although I'm finding a few cultural type people here too, one of my friends is taking a semester off, traveling from England to Spain, and is currently in Morocco, later will pass by Italy and France, I just talked to him online today, it was great -- all these interesting insights about a muslim country. He was pretty 'international' before but still saw everything as an american, and its great to hear how this trip is pretty life-changing for him. he sees the light! yayy)

BTW, Gracia, have you ever read Bare: On Dancing, Women, Sex and Power? Its pretty interesting, and I think the gender/baring of sexuality issues that it address would really interest you. It writes about the profession of stripping in a pretty intelligent way :P I read it as optional reading for my Hum class, with that cool dutch prof I told you about.
