Interesting dilemma: What to do for New Year’s Eve. Last year at this point i was deeply sunk into the Drexel Player’s scene, and the folks in the Player’s House decided that they all wanted to get dressed up, have dinner, and then watch the ball drop. I actually forgot about this until shortly after christmas, when i phoned them up to see if i was still invited. I wound up attending, and had some of the best fun of my life, beyond compare. It was simply wonderful to spend a manic historic night locked in a house with 14 of my newest and best friends. We woke up the next morning and had eggs and then watched the house of yes while still sleepily lounging around. As for this year, i’m not entirely sure … i’m on much different terms with the Players as a whole this year as compared to last year, and i’m not sure that they’re even having a party. And, now that i’m a Sophomore, more of my friends have houses, and those houses intend to celebrate heartily. And it’s December and i don’t even know what i want to do. I suppose i’ll just keep my options open
Wow, way to go Re! She answered my longstanding Ben Folds question (see below) very succinctly and even points me towards further support for my theory. The sickness in the following weeks would most likely be a sort of post-mortem depression, and the narrator would be the only person in the position to tell the truth about what happened and get help for his girl. But, her depression is drowning him as well, and their both going under without anyone else around to notice.
I finally got a mention on BeautifulFreak-Cam! The crowds rejoice! That’s the first time (to my knowledge) that i’ve been explicitly mentioned on a cam, though my page has appeared on Jehan‘s screen once or twice, and once i made her laugh via IM. That’s in the archives somewhere. Good luck.
Where does Ben Folds go to with the girl in “Brick?” For some reason i had always assumed it was an abortion clinic, but that’s probably because i listen to way too much Ani DiFranco. Going to an abortion clinic the day after Christmas is a bit morbid … i’m usually out buying bargain ornaments. Is the girl in the song sick? She’s “balled up on the couch,” and he remarks that no one is around to find him out. Of course, would getting a girl pregnant suddenly make her a “brick?” Actually, i don’t think she’s getting an abortion, because… i dunno, would he buy a girl flowers after that? In the weeks to come she proves to be less than okay, and he has to “Tell the truth.” Is she sick? I’m so confused… So, if there are any big Ben Folds Five fans out there who think they know where exactly what’s going on, please enlighten me. Otherwise i’ll just ask Amy when she gets home from home…
