hi
ok wait i have a muscle cramp
ok we’re good.
if i could plan out my life here and now here’s how it would go:
i would graduate from high school with lots of scholarships and some nice memories and immediately invest in an almost entirely new wardrobe. i would attend the university of texas at austin and i would have a really cute dorm and a good circle of friends and i would work so hard for every class and i would be a staff writer either for the daily texan or for the texas travesty or maybe both. i would be hip with the kids in the indie music scene (all of them) (i mean it’s austin) and maybe write for a music blog or run my own. i would go to lots of cool parties (with music) (it’s austin) and date lots of cute people. in the summers i would either intern for publications like the austin chronicle or go on humanitarian trips or be an RA at a youth camp like cty.
then i would graduate with even fonder memories and bright optimism for the future. i would start a career maybe at a paper in austin or somewhere else or maybe i’d write for a magazine like variance. i would continue to write music blogs and go to lots of shows and have a large network of people both in the music and journalism worlds. i would probably barely make ends meet sometimes but i would do lots of yoga and keep good faith.
eventually i would find The One and maybe we’d move to canada or maybe we’d stay in austin but it wouldn’t really matter. i’d continue writing for various publications or just one publication, but no matter what i would love it. eventually maybe i’d have kids and i’d have the type of family - loud and honest and friendly and loving - that i like the most. i’d have a cute house with cute furniture. along the way there would be a lot of traveling.
maybe eventually i’d write a book or become a professor or a teacher. yes this would be good this would all make me happy.
