there's a bunch of liberal intellectual types who've been sucking me into the vortex of their verbalizing/socializing activity lately. i'm not sure why, and i don't know if that's what i wanna become (cos i'm sure as hell not like them right now, even though i 'respond' well to their prodding). i credit my artsier classes for opening up this universe.

then there're those who pull me back down to earth every now and then. esp hx, who exerts a gravitational self-belief that i don't know how to deal w positively still. she and the people in my more "concrete" govt classes serve as a nice foil to the chain-smoking liquor-quaffing loquacious "where do you think you're going" confusing ones who i dream about after connecting with them cos their words slide into my consciousness so.
