Weekend Pondering

So, this weekend Vivian, Diva, and I went to Diskotekka. I’ve been to clubs in NY and Gainseville before and had a really good time, but I hated this place. Everyone waited for everyone else to dance. No one bothered strangers. The DJ barely left any song in place besides it’s lyrics. (Who knew “Call Me” had avant Afro beats? I didn’t!) Even the drag queens seemed swept up in trendy Miaaaami tastes.
The whole evening made me realize why I hate Miami: it’s seedy and trashy but in a seedy and trashy trends way. It seemed like everyone was up to date on current guido clothing and skany lingerie but no one followed their own beat. I prefer a whole in the wall where you see open freaks than closet geeks where they play AN ACTUAL SONG.
Luckily, I’m moving in August and will be in NY where real freaks, not just bipolar homeless people, will be easier to find. Speaking of moving, I finally graduated yesterday. It was cheesy and cliché as expected. One speech told us we would fail if we were unique. Another told girls to make sandwisches. My favorited one talked about how 9/11 destroyed our innocence. That’s for sure. But I’m leaving this all behind with a smile on my face. I might glimpse back but I don’t plan on coming back for long. I’ll miss my close friends and teachers, but I won’t miss living in this haunted house or walking past bullshit laced fake brick. Bye, bye, John Hughes. Hello, what I’ve been waiting for.
