Now we really aren’t ever going to sleep

You’d think in New York City, we’d have already figured this out
But despite all the trial and tribulation, we finally turned about
In a time of marriage equality
(Gained only though much polity)
I’ll probably attend more weddings than any other celebratory route.

TFA Thus far

It’s not the early wake up, or the close quarters living
(For both of those were obvious from the giving)
Instead it’s the anxiety
Which is not impropriety
Of finding a job, and more importantly, starting from the beginning.

Call me crazy, but it seems unwise
To pull all defense because of press lies.
For without him it seems
There are few liberal dreams
And the discourse keeps shifting in leftist demise.

Finished

A number of events to signify the end,
Proving that my childhood is on its final bend -
Graduation, Osama, and the last chapter of Potter
(Some obviously more globally significant than other)
Adolescence has closed, hopefully for an upward trend.

WoW (War of the Women)

Is it possible to think that it could really come down to this?
It can’t be accurate – could it? It’s ludacris!
But it does seem to be,
That in this nation of free,
All anyone cares about is their ability to legislate my uterus.

Two Wheels better than Four

Why everyone gotta hate on the bike lane?
Actin’ like it has less magic than David Blane.
All I’m sayin’
Is that Brooklyn’s population ain’t grayin’
And sooner or later we’ll knock out your new cane.

This won’t rhyme.

See this guy? He was good at rhyming so I don’t have to always do it.

I have decided to use this blog as a regular blog. Why? Because I am a fake student these days and need a way to waste time before I have no time left. All I currently have to say is that yesterday I decided to accept a position in the 2011 Teach for America corps as a Special Ed teacher in New York City. In honor of this step, I have coined a new word: excitified. I am both excited and terrified. More on this to come. Here’s looking at you, OED!

Aside from that, I spend my days drinking fine wines, wearing crushed velvet and reminiscing about the one I shouldn’t have let go but did because her father disapproved. Actually, mostly I just babysit a lot, do homework from time to time and hang out with my housemates.

I know have a job, so I beg one small thing
Why do I still have to endure all this academic sting?
If I failed out right now
I doubt they’d allow
Me to obtain a paycheck, quite the zing.

Haus of Awesome (Food)

Last week brought with it a house Thanksgiving – really quite a feast.
Two roomies – Zach and Josh – even tamed a turkey beast!
And with Rachel’s help I made sauce!
Though she truly was the boss.
All this complimented by Haley’s potatoes and Megan’s pie – to say the least.

Link of special note – check out my awesome housemate Rachel’s blog to keep updated on her adventures with vegan cuisine.

Happy Gropsgiving

As a frequent victim of the airport stop, pat and search
I find this disturbing from my traveler’s perch.
To pose for playboy or get to second base?
Only so long as after there’s a memory erase.
I’ve never said it before, but call me a prude and take me to church.

As the degrees are going down, I think they’re taking my vision
Because the less that I squint, the less I can envision
It seems likely that my eyes
Are in need of a framed disguise
So off to the doctor I go, for an optical revision.
