We're Sorry to Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

This has nothing to do with the Philippines.
I've been writer's blockin' a little lately, and all I have to show for myself is a bunch of unfinished observational pieces (including a sequel to this one) and some uninspired afternoon poetry (actually a great concept if you like irony and facetious postmodern fuckery).

This, like my last post, is going to be sort of a clusterfuck, as my mind has been sort of a clusterfuck.

So I've decided to drop a lexicon post.
And then I realized I missed school a lot. So I'm dropping my first picture post as well.
Hi, I'm Katrina, and I can't focus anymore.

interrobang (v) – 1. to engage in sexual activity resulting from ambivalent attraction; to commit the act of a questionable hookup. May result from drunkenness, desperation, poor judgment, or Welcome Week at American University.

2. though usually hypothetical, to engage in sexual activity with a person who is contrary to one’s “type.” May result from the same factors as definition #1, but is usually less embarrassing, as individual in question is probably at least a little attractive.

X: So you think she’s hot?
KC Danger: Yeah she’s pretty cute; I just don’t usually dig redheads.
X: So you wanna interrobang her‽
KC Danger: Yeah, I guess.

#smallearth (n) – 1. conceptually, a small-scale model of planet Earth. Although the exact dimensions of #smallearth have never been determined, it is commonly accepted that the planet is small enough that such nonsense as 12-hour time differences simply cannot exist, resulting in a cohesive society of #smallearthlings

2. a community that is so small, that it is entirely feasible for all or most of its members to somehow come in contact with each other, regardless of actual physical location; a significantly less lame way of saying “small world, eh?,” a community where an unspoken set of rules/tendencies exist

See: the lesbian community, the AUniverse

AUniverse (n) – the self-sustaining microcosm existing at American University, also known as “the AU Bubble,” an example of #smallearth. Katrina Fucking Casino lives here. Rules of the AUniverse include: I’m-making-out-with-you-because-you’re-making-out-with-me, you’re probably gay, let’s get high and talk about gender, sorry I’m crashing from my uppers, Apex Thursdays, drinking on Tuesdays due to classless Wednesdays, and TDR at 2 y/n?

S.W.I.M. (n) – acronym for Straight, White, Ignorant Male, a privileged individual who outright ignores the existence or opinions of women, racial minorities, or gays. Essentially the reason you felt really uncomfortable during high school, that guy who keeps making ignorant comments in your gender studies class (what the fuck, why is he even in this class?)

50s House Dyke (n) – a lesbian who aspires to be a traditional stay-at-home mom. A 50s house dyke is not an assimilationist; rather, she is a well-educated, articulate feminist who simply chooses a domestic lifestyle

Oh hey, remember that time I was short-haired and freshly pierced?

We were alone for the first time

And in love with everyone we met.

We were so curious about each other

That we forgot to wonder about ourselves
And who we'd be in a few short months.

So...

We got drunk

In public

A lot.

We got drunk in public a lot.

And no one ever slept alone.

I am sometimes embarrassed because I'm prone to getting really emotional (ex. short-term nostalgia) late at night, but for everyone else, it's just the middle of the day.
This would never happen on #smallearth.
