music before the glowing rain
it’s been gorgeously hot in los angeles: the early-summer heat that makes me sneeze, burns my skin, and turns my hair radioactive. it is soft and heavy and smells like car exhaust, suffering green things, and dust.
the ice cream carts are back. they’re the dry-ice powered, inner-city equivalent of those suburban ice cream trucks. of course, neither really leave during the fall and winter.
a third of the other girls are wearing cheerleader-style skirts. where did that come from? i understand web memes. i can probably tell you what the current memes are at any moment. but real-life trends puzzle me.
my schools have been public and private, suburban and urban and in-between, religious and secular, upper-middle class and lower-middle class, arts magnet and gifted magnet and math/science/tech magnet. k-12, k-6, 6-12, community college, music school.
only thing left is some kind of university.
aaargh!

where are you looking at going to college? i suppose that depends heavily on what major(s) you are interested in.

southern california somewhere, i think. i want to do some sort of useful design and/or some kind of informative writing...the specifics change day by day.

Hmm.. so those skanky skirts are the trend. I see a lot of those at my school. I don't understand them, either.
