Poem
Vibe-check, it’s Friday. Yay! A delightfully cool Friday at that! I’d like to thank the democratic party (which I’ve heard controls the weather now). Has the heat finally surrendered to the inevitable freshness of fall? Can we please proceed directly to a cruel winter? “What are we doing tonight?” I asked Lisa as she sat on the edge of a chair to put on her Nine West tunic pointed-toe booties. She has class this morning and I don’t. I’m sipping coffee, curled up on our red-corduroy couch, under a school themed throw, trying to grasp the plot of a fascinating chemistry book. “Something fun,” she said, verbatim, offering little concrete as she picked up her slouchy silhouette, hobo bag. “See ya,” she said, shouldering the door open with her right arm and securing her coffee with her left. She’s got one of those giant coffee cups that are so vogue. She gives herself 30 minutes, after our morning jog, to get ready for class and that whole time, she’s brewing cup after k-cup of Keurig coffee to fill that monster. “Byeeeeee,” I responded, before the door clunked closed. Sunny, came to the door of her room, “Do you separate your whites and darks?” She asked. “Of course,” I said, not looking up, to save my page-place, “we’re not animals.” “I never separate,” she confessed. “That’s why your white socks are pink,” I updogged. “They are pink,” she said, pulling up her pajama leg to expose her pink socks, “bright pink.” The serious events have started. Parties thrown by groups, always to a theme, offering whimsical, rainbow palates of fun. We’re here for it, my room and suitemates, all of us. There’s no better way to spend a Friday or Saturday night, than dressing up as a Disney princess, jedi princess or streetwalking zombie princess. Some nights, there’s more than one and we jump gatherings until we find the perfect one. We easily feed off of each another’s energy. We’re all 21-year-olds now and pushing past painfully obvious insecurities, legal restrictions and occasionally, moral boundaries. Ok, let’s reach for some Friday night rhymes: Fridays are reserved for revelry, for noise and crazy mirth, you can find a rave or masquerade with very little research. The venues are themed and adorned for festive cheer, and the turned-up music ignites those dance-like atmospheres. Picture tapestries youthful fun and you’ve grasped the vibe of the night. In fleeting moments, we reach for it - I hope you brought your invite. There was a disappointing ‘jungle rave’ where people were smoking inside! Are you a ‘master of the universe,’ if you can’t get air-quality right? Way too soon the revels cease and in the Saturday morning quiet, we search for tasty eats. We did it for memories, to give our dull lives a makeover and good news! I didn’t wake up with a hangover. . . Songs for this: Nite Becomes Day by Citizen Cope Breathe In by Frou Frou
