Reading about "Integralism" in Indonesia makes me want to cut myself. This isn't Arts. Or at least it doesn't fit the stereotype. It's all serious and academic and it's been too long since I saw a cup of chai or a ukulele or a pair of thick lensless glasses or pink skinny jeans on someone trotting the fine (probably non-existent) line between proud Arts student and metrosexual.
It's all about irony with young people these days and as a young person I know all about irony (although I still can't quite seperate it from sarcasm when someone asks me to define it, but apparently only God and Chuck Norris can, so it's okay). I feel sort of impressed and sort of annoyed when I see people wearing Pokemon T shirts or using brick phones from the nineties, but good on them for trying to bring it back in their own ironic way.
I saw someone walking down the street dressed like a hippy and strumming a ukulele. I want to know where on campus they're giving out free marijuana so I can get in on it. Maybe the greenhouses aren't for botany students after all...
It's fun being S-shaped. You get to take time off work so a chiropracter can do to your back what Looney Tunes characters do to each other with sledgehammers.
I think job interviews should be conducted entirely in song, with an accompanying pianist, like an audition. You go in, they sing the questions and you sing the answers and if at the end you've got the job the walls lift up a la some giant Broadway musical and the entire office erupts into an epic dance number with glitter and confetti and acrobats. Wouldn't that be neat?
