1- Be a therapist

2- Get an english degree so I can write professional level fanfiction

So, it’s official. My thesis director approved my idea.

I guess I’m writing an autoethnography about deconstruction and religious trauma through the narrative of Ghost lyrics. I would say “Lord help me”, but I don’t think that works here.

That being said... if you have a Ghost song that helped you through deconstruction or with your religious trauma, drop the title here. I'm building a playlist of religious trauma tracks. Lol

Before the Fall 6.19.23 “Slam! Into Opportune Earth"

Standing on a precipice, thankful for the world at my feet Reluctant from the fear of defeat, knowing that if I dive There’s a chance I’ll be beat Experience has taught me that it’s better to arrive Being alive is worth the painful growth spurt Wiping the ash from my face, when I’m down I’ll revive Standing up taller, I’ll call her next time, no matter the hurt Wiggle my toes on the edge I’m alert, balanced not to false start Swimming I’ll keep my head up, but dry? I’d sooner exert Hands held up higher for rainfall, praying any clouds never depart Watching that windswept dance is art I’d imitate were I able If I think then I am, so says Descartes Devil’s rain, is plain and painful, so share bread at my table I may never be Clark Gable, but you’ve believed my acting What’s the rush with reacting, I’ll be the Cain to your Abel Find me a rock, I’ll find you a hard place in late spring I’d give you a ring, when I the struggle is over Covered in dirt I’m still racing, hiding offstage in the left-most wing Cliffs of Moher beat the White Cliffs of Dover When trying to look over and lose your stomach at sea Call me up I’m ready to come over, red rover red rover I’ve kissed the Blarney stone and I’m asking for money-back guarantee Stutter and flutter, my tongue-detainee, is useless at best to impress How I’m still going is anyone’s guess, despite my four-year degree There’s a staircase ascending – to Heaven? Unsure, I’ll confess If cleanliness be to godliness, my bedroom, a mess, I am a devil Like the fall, so too the rain fall, from my eyes no crocodile tears will caress Through sword and flame we’ll sort the blame of more than several Wipe the slate clean and ready a level, this borderline balancing act grows old Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor or so I’m told, yet all worth the revel If a phoenix can falter mid-flight having grown cold Realight and ignite in the gold medal fight Am I prepared to place my bets at the precipice, a life to be sold My skills aren’t productive, reductive at best for stories at night I’ll lead you on journeys for constant delight should ever we meet Whether a clover, four leafed, or a leaf fall, my impact will be anything but light

diary entry thirteen 

I sucessfully negotiated with my current main benefactor to getting me a bonus and in typical me-style I will use it to enhance my career prospects. In detail that means I will be using that money to 

A: attend an academic conference in september and do some networking there.

B: I will use the rest of the money to get professional photos taken of me; mostly headshots for my professional social media and to add to my resume. Once I start applying for jobs again I want to try a new approach and utilise my youthful looks as much as I can - a tactic Ive heretofore avoided because I look very young and employers don’t often ascribe competence to women who look like they’re fresh out of highschool. 

C: Next I am going to save much of it for my next big self-improvement project: a higher degree. Either a master’s or maybe something in business... 

And if I feel like it I’ll use some of it to get my passport renewed. LOL

💎here’s to advancing to higher levels 💎

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies” #serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited... #i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest. #it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!' #'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members... #..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)' #anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language? #maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value” #and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs) #happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills) #and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on... #...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works? #beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)
