No seriously, I really liked pansies.
I tagged my clipboard with Sublime.
My Vonnegut Library
My high school obsessions were: Pansies, Sublime, and Vonnegut.

These are a few of my favorite things.
I see you're interested in my obsession with high school. Perhaps you'd like to subscribe to that tag's feed?

Me with my two colorguard instructors Bradley and Daniel; taken my senior year at one of our regional competitions.
This is so “my two dads.”

Does this need a caption?
Whatever, it’s not like you’d get it anyway; it’s complicated.
GET OUT OF MY ROOOOOM!!!
I was totally obsessed with Dr. Katz. I think I got this book from one of my ninth-grade boyfriends.
If you’ve never seen the show, the complete series is available on DVD.

Drawing I, junior year. We had to find 10 people and draw one of their eyes. I totally cheated on the one labeled “Mystery Girl.”
What’s bothering me right now is: why didn’t I just make up a girl’s name?

I didn’t have the tightest grasp on the anime style of drawing… or proportion, for that matter.
The title got cut off, and I don’t feel like rescanning. This masterpiece was called “Bride of Frankenstein.”

This is a drawing of me drawing myself.
Life will go by a lot smoother if you learn to laugh at yourself. I’ve given myself more than enough material.
And yes, that was my signature in high school. I was a wiccan, deal with it.

Pavement “Shady Lane”
Circa-1997-Marcela used to record mix tapes off of the local college station. This was one of her favorite catches.

“Teenagers are horrible creatures whom nobody likes and who like nobody.
Well, OK, that’s not exactly true. Teenagers like each other in fits and starts, sweaty lusting and sad desperate clawing towards one another, the kind of thing that makes you glad that, even though you are feeling old and cancerous and haven’t left the house for two days, you escaped that age. That you busted out and figured out other people at least somewhat, at least halfway, and so nothing is as fraught as it once was.
Nothing is as exciting, either, but that’s the compromise of growing up.”
If you’ve already had lunch, I do not suggest clicking through to watch the video.

Ani DiFranco - “Both Hands”
I find it odd that I’ve never posted an Ani song on here considering that no matter how my taste in music evolves, she will forever be the only musician I’ve fallen in love with. She has my heart and I can’t see myself ever giving it up to another artist.
This song, in particular, was a huge part of my life because it was the show music for my senior year of winter guard. It was also the first year I got a solo. I still remember sitting around a boom box at my school’s amphitheater, listening to this song for the first time, and having my instructor turn to me right as the lyrics started up. “That’s Marcela with her flag.” I can only describe that moment as life-changing.
Ok, I guess I’m done being sappy; thanks for indulging me.
When my heart hurts, only Ani will do. I think I’m going to disappear with her for a while.
