Day of silence...mc silence

How come my computer still aint working?

Yesterday was the "day of silence" in recognition of closest cases nationwide. Across the country, students were supposed to stay silent until 5pm at which point they would holler at the top. I started the day not speaking, pointed to things in the cafeteria line and even sat with Delaine -who is the WRONG person to sit with on a day of silence. She used this opportunity to run through her list of "Yo mama jokes" and laughed as i sat with my arms folded.

Being silent is a bitch

I then retreated to alysia's room which i go to daily for absolutely no reason at all. She answered the door and subsequentlt declared the day of silence to be over. So we went about our day, ran some errands, attempted to find Emory Univ.(which is where Ms. Moya is headed next year) except Emory was nowhere to be found. (I think it saw a car full of nappy negroes and ran away).

But back to the silence thing.

So I'm out. Standing in that circle of homos i didnt feel the least bit uncomfortable. Its wierd when i think about a time when i wasnt out. Those hard high school years and first few monthes of college when i held on to the hope that some boy-any boy- would actually catch my attention. So now my sexuality is mine. I own it. Since ive come out, I am more comfortable with the notion that sexuality is fluid. I've realized that on a lot of levels , homosexuality is a label, not a definition. Sexuality shouldnt have labels to begin with. When you stop tagging people gay or straight you open yourself up to the possibilities that sexuality is beyond straight or gay.

So enough on my hippy love moment

So yesterday i actually participated in a cipher... Being that im not at all a wordsmith...this proved to be the challange of the day. I was commisioned to present a flow at 10 pm in Moyas room. I thought about skipping, given my tendency to become increasingly antisocial as the night wears on, but i remebered that i was amongst friends.
Earlier in the day, Tiona and I had made a pact that we would only particiapte if the other particiapted. It was nice to have someone who was clearly as excited as I was. The tape started Intisar, Chantal, Alysia and Moya got busy. tiona and i clearly werent feeling it, so we held tight to our suger can mics and waited....

and waited...

Finally i jumped in an declared myself mc silence which was ironic because it was the day of silence. And tiona killed it..she's a lot better than she realizes.

well thats all that happened...

well not really but you know, i can't type and its really tiring...

c-ya
