Ah this color...so maxi-pad/tampon -ISH.
I wrote this while (once again) puttering at the newspaper office:
- Ooo. the yummy gay boy said HI to me while I was walking
to the office. I don't believe he actuallly remembered my name?! How giddy
am I?
- Once again nothing to do at the paper. Clark, fellow
newbie, and I were discussing how wer were supposed to be getting paid.
Measley peanuts is what I said before....but do I really know. No....the
question is DO I REALLY CARE? The answer?.....I should.
Haydee emailed me today and I replied:

- Oh Haydee Haydee,
-
- You've been in NY all but 3 weeks? What kind of lepper
are you that you
- haven't made friends yet?!!! Hehe, just kidding.
-
- Like I told you before its going to be rough for at least
the first few
- months. I try to put myself in your shoes and wonder
how I would be
- feeling. I bet I would be feeling the exact same loathing
and
- homesickness you do now. In fact when I make the move
there in 2000 I
- know it will be the same. I rant and rant about how great
it is to be in
- NYC but when you have been in Hawaii as long as we have
it hard to chop
- off the dangling rope that ties us to our friends and
family and the
- routine of daily island life. Back in 1996 I was ready
to jump on the
- first plane to JFK. My grades were all set, I was already
accepted to a
- school there and my cousins were welcoming me with open
arms. But as the
- day moved closer and closer to actually doing it. I got
nervous and
- frightened. And when a guy came along who gave good sex
and fell in
- love with me(hehe, I'm kidding...about the sex part...or
am I) I gave
- every excuse to MYSELF that I really shouldn't go.
-
- But look at me now. I regret not going. I mean I love
Jon, but was it
- worth the sarcrifice of getting to know myself as an
individual and
- furthuring my mind emotionally and intellectually? This
is why I envy
- you. You're in a situation I would love to be. I've been
back to NY
- twice since my decision to stay here and regret it. I
should have jumped
- on that plane and would be proud of myself, just as I
am proud of you.
-
- You're lonely now and that's to be expected. You're in
this huge city and
- tons of expectations set on your shoulders. But it gets
easier. I know
- YOU knew of what was to be expected of you. That was
the reason why you
- went. To make YOURSELF a better person. And what better
place to do it
- but NYC? I mean look at all the other graduates from
Waipahu High?
- Probably pregnant with kids working at Jack In the Box.
In some sleazy
- job maybe? Still working on their bachelors (such as
myself!). Your 4000
- miles plus away from all these losers making a name for
yourself. At the
- reunion you can say "FUCK YOU BITCHES IM A BIG SHOT
LAWYER THAT GRADUATED
- FROM AN NYC SCHOOL AND YOU CAN JUST EVNY ME AND....SUCK
IT!!!"
-
- Hehe.
-
- Don't get strayed from the life there just because you're
lonely. Read
- that poem you read and you'll eventually realize that
you're better off
- there than you are here.
-
- When I get there in 2000 and I see you in Times Square
the men drooling
- all over you I'll say, "Hi Haydee remember me"?
-
- You'll say, "um who the hell are you? Get away you
imbecil tourist"
-
- When I make the move....finally(crossing my fingers for
2000)...I'll be
- lonely, sad, longing for some familiarity of home. But
I will be looking
- to you to set me straight and encourage me because you'll
be a regular NYC
- Bitch by that time!
-
- Besides, if and when Sharon moves there you'll have a
familiar face to
- look at and didn't you say Gwen wanted to transfer there
too? Sharon will
- introduce you to my Ate Genie who wants the whole fricken
creation to move
- to NYC. She'll be a boost.
-
- We're all rooting for you Haydee. And hope and pray I
join you there
- soon.
-
- Ok ok...nuff of all that cheering up shit...I'm sitting
here at KaLeo with
- nothing to do again. I think for Xmas I'll get you and
Sharon a pair of
- tickets to go see RAGTIME. That show is so damn awesome.
Argh! I wish I
- was there with you Haydee!! But I have no money, my GPA
is hopeless, and
- well....I'm just so indecisive about things! I'm never
going to
- graduate!!!! AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
-
- Why don't you throw those unwashed NY shoes of yours
at me like Mulan did
- and knock me into some kind of consciousness. What the
hell am I doing
- with my life?
-
- Things to do in NY with no money and friends:
- - walk around the city getting to know every crevis and
gloat to Sunshine
- about it
- - take a subway to MOMA then gloat to Sunshine about
it
- - go do the RENT lottery see it first row center and
gloat to Sunshine AND
- Marisa about it
- - go sell yourself as a prostitute on 42nd street for
lots of money and
- DON'T gloat to anyone about it
- - Go to the food/fest swapmeet on 6th street every Sunday
and gloat to
- Sunshine about it
- - Have sex with a Hawaiian guy in NYC who is soo Fione
and gloat to MARISA
- abou it
- - Go eat at the Dunkin Donuts that Madonna worked at
(somewhere in the
- EAST VILLAGE) and gloat to Rhowell about it
- - Walk the Brooklyn Bridge and ignore those God Damn
Jehovahs Witnesses
- and gloat to Sunshine about it
- - Shove a pool cue up the bartenders nose that refused
you a beer because
- of your ID and beat him up Jackie Chan style
-
- (more to come eventually)
-
- BTW, did you get my last letter Subject: Sex sex and
more sex? Seriously
- I think it didn't get to you. Damn internet service!
-
- Write back you big bootie HO.
-
- Love,
- Sunshine
Flashback. Made a tape for the white ranger. Contents? Queensryche,
Megadeth, Slayer, Death, (before the sell-out) Metallica, & Sepultura.
Oldies but goodies. I sang....no, more like screamed along during the rush
hour freeway constipation. Only to see the lot full sign on campus so I
had to shell out three extra bucks for tow-protection behind the burger
place.
I know I don't make sense......just fuck off will ya?
Why do women wear shoulder pads? Like Professor Burk. Padded bras are
understandable but padded shoulders (for women)?
WTF?
<< rewind.....fast|forward >>
