This is how it works: Comment on this entry and get a letter.
Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
1. Mind - Well, I'm a psychology major so I'm obviously fascinated by the workings of the mind- the fact that those billions of neurons can allow us to think such complex thoughts (for the most part, lol).
2. Mine - The meager little things I have formed attachments to. It's a small and narrow world.
3. Magic - This word is the culmination of all my teenage escapism, fantasy, and angst. It means thinking of the impossible to avoid facing the realities of the self. It means looking at the bully and wishing I could crush their skull in without anyone ever being able to attribute it to me- because punching them doesn't work nearly as well.
4. Music- Music has been an essential part of my life and education for as far as I can remember- being in the chorus for about four years, playing woodwinds for about 5 years. True, I never took learning my instruments as seriously as I should have. I like listening to music in almost any language and it offers me a means to learn more. It also means being able to plug up my ears like the rest of New York City to avoid listening the occasional crazy rant/not-to-be-trusted charity plea on the subway.
5. Memory- The sum of all our experiences and knowledge. Deceptive in its seeming infallibility and veracity. That which we cannot forget or suppress.
6. May- The month of APs, final exams, and when I arguably made one of the bigger mistakes of my life that I wish I could take back with all my being. It's a bittersweet month.
7. Melancholy- A perpetual mood/state of mind. Chronic introspection will do that.
8. Minority- It's something you're not really aware of as a child. It's sad when you have to realize it as you grow up. Nothing like being made aware of your minority status in your late teens.
9. Mad- Other than melancholy, perpetually mad. Mad at my parents, mad at the people around me, mad at some of my "friends," mad at the world, mad at myself.
10. Matthew - Name of first and last crush ever.
Hmm... Never would have figured so much of my life relates to M...
