Hold On Magnolia by Songs:Ohia

Last night I had a dream that I was back at Grinnell. We were all on a picnic at this meadow (lol) before we left our separate ways and I was supposed to sing a Beyonce song as a goodbye but I ended up singing

Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon
No one has to be that strong
But if you’re stubborn like me
I know what you’re trying to be

Sigh.

what a great semester. there were times when i felt like i had to write about it here because i felt so blessed but i never got around to it. with less than an hour until i have to leave for jfk, i guess ill touch base really quickly right now.

it feels weird being back in ny…not that it matters because im gonna be in korea in less than 24 hours anyway. to be honest, i dont know how i feel about it. i decided to go to korea because i thought i needed to face some things for myself. turns out, i got everything i needed back at school (loooove to everyone who’s been part of my year). i feel like i finally found the grounding that i’d felt i lost ever since i started college. it’s been a wonderfully transformative year, i think. i’m just afraid that i’m flying all the way across the world just to get knocked off my feet again. am i doing the right thing?

hahahaha, it doesn’t matter at this point because i have to go anyway—LOL.

i didn’t get to see any of you (except s). :[ can’t wait until we’re all reunited! i guess i’ll have updates. i just hope i remember the older good stuff along with the newer bad stuff.

hahahahha, i’m being so pessimistic about this. SO FUNNAY.

I smiled at a guy on the airplane completely on instinct (because we both thought something was funny) and he and his girlfriend got really weirded out. In fact, I was in an entire plane full of distant assholes. Good thing, because this was me when I got off the plane and officially stepped into NYC:

*But instead of I’M A BUS, it went more like “fck you. smd. fck you. fck you. FCK YOU.”

So I guess I’m officially back now.

Just when I was really getting the hang of (and kinda really loving—don’t judge) small town Midwest. :/

Crap, I’m going to Korea soon. UGH THEY’RE SUCH RUDE ASSHOLES UGHHHH. I don’t know if I’m ready.

Ugh, whatever. FUCK IT—I’M A BUS.

When I got my citizenship, I officially changed my named to Elizabeth Soyun Jang,

Shoutout to the best roommate in the world

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:48:43 -0400

I realized that I haven’t written a sentimental blog post in a while, and if I’m gonna write a sentimental blog post, it might as well be about the badass bitch who made me stop.

You’re the reason why I don’t update my blog at school anymore. I don’t need it to sort out my feelings or organize my thoughts because I tell you everything and always get back every bit of perspective, affirmation, or support that I could need.

I don’t know how we’re not sick of each other yet, but I look forward to coming back to the room even more every day. IT JUST NEVER STOPS GETTING MORE AWESOME.

Not only are you the weave to my Beyonce, but you are the Kanye West to my Kanye West. I’ve learned and changed so much this year. Thanks for not only being there, but being one of the biggest supporters and catalysts of that change.

You’re GREAT. Keep doin you, gurl! Keep doin you.

I love freely, but one of my secrets is that I don’t readily hold on to people. I’m good at appreciating, but I don’t easily let myself need anyone. (Which is partially why I’m terrible at communication and keeping in touch, but I’m werking on it—another thing I’ve learned from having you as a roommate) But, hey. On a scale of 1 to all the time, if I ever see you below a 6 next year, I will passive aggressively pee on your bed. Not that I need you or anything.

“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. That is real freedom. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default-setting, the “rat race” –– the constant gnawing sense of having had and lost some infinite thing”

"You should hide behind that fan Karl Lagerfeld, shame on you, for calling Adele “a little bit fat.”..."

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:59:17 -0400

“You should hide behind that fan Karl Lagerfeld, shame on you, for calling Adele “a little bit fat.” Who are you? What is the point of saying that? What are you trying to prove? Why are you trying to cut a bitch down? Shame shame shame.

When you say we are fat, you murder our grace, and we’ve already lost so much to begin with. We’ve already lost everything, except weight. That we gain steadily, along with self-hatred, and all you are doing is adding to our burden, pressing down on the scale with the long toe of your fine, elegantly tasseled loafer…

You consider yourself to be the authority on style, as you are supposedly style personified but what good is style when you have no class? What good is style when you have no humanity? What good is style when you make us want to kill ourselves?

We are dying, Karl. Lots of us are already dead.”

- Margaret Cho to Karl Lagerfeld, regarding his comments about Adele. View the post here.

try breaking my knees: Homophobia: The fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.:

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.

The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.

“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”

The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.

“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”Because this needs to be said until it never has to be said again.
