I am actually in the painful position of posting for the sake of posting. I'm mostly doing it to procrastinate on my Egypt project. Sorry, Gaby!
Because of my procrastination, here are a bunch of excellent songs you should listen to (Yes, you! There! On the other side of my screen! Wait- oh. Huh. There's no one there... ah well.)
B Film by Faded Paper Figures
Indigo by Tom Milsom
Mowgli's Road by Marina and the Diamonds
This Is A Song by the Magic Numbers
In the Absence of Christmas by Charlie Mcdonnell
Holding On by Alex Day
Resistance by Muse

Last night, I saw Hair( the musical, not the movie). It was brilliant. The characters were vulgar and stupid and foolish and foolhardy and brave and clever and funny and beautiful and tender and cruel and sweet. Plus they invited me to dance on the stage and then called me gorgeous.
After the performance, in the Hall of Nations at the Kennedy Center I saw an amazing performance art thing. There were billions of grains of rice. They were organized in to piles and patterns. Each represented a demographic. Some were funny ( people who moonwalked: michael jackson (1) versus people who walked on the moon (4), ad some were serious.

I just watched the visual essay, "We Are Animals" by Tom Milsom, and, unsurprisingly, it made me think. Here is the link:

And here are my thoughts:
What he says about love is ridiculous...and painfully accurate. Though love lives in a thousand different ways that are eons old, I do agree that romantic love is a relatively recent concept. I also agree that it is frighteningly bizarre. The idea that there is someone who you will be able to love, and live with, FOREVER, and that you will meet them, seems laughable.There is also the fact that the chances of meeting anyone you are physically attracted to, who enjoy doing things similar to things you enjoy, who you enjoy spending time with, and who RECIPROCATES all of these feelings is infinitesimally small in our massive world. So clearly, most people who fall in love are missing something. Because there is no married couple that is perfect for each other. Things get awkward, or too physical, or too nonphysical. People aren't perfect, and the possibility of finding perfection is nonexistent.
All that said, I do believe in love.
