2. dyed my hair black for the first and last time and wore a lot of black eyeliner in the Cleopatra style.
3. Discovered how cool Hermann Hesse was and took English lit from a teacher named Judy Little, who wore bobby pins in her bobbed hair and looked really uptight and school-marmish, but in reality was really pretty hip!
4. Met my friends the Bateman sisters and slept at their spooky, Amityville Horror-like house more than I did my own dorm.

1. Worked the night shift at a book publisher's for a scant $6.00 per hour.
2. Had a temporary fling w/a boy from Dublin whom I re-named "The Celtic Cowboy" because he was Irish (duh!) and he had this tacky belt w/stars on it. He was really annoying, actually.
3. Had someone at work actually ask me if I wanted to watch him "work out with his sword." I was dating his D-n-D playing friend at the time, who also happened to be into Shamanism and did a healing ceremony on one of my cysted ovaries with alot of turquoise (Hey! The cyst DID go away!)
4. Took long drives w/the "Shaman" (he looked like Ichabod Crane, I think!) in the country and we listened to the Cramps or Pink Floyd (his choice) alot!!
