There’s nothing like the safety net of a successful music career to have the courage to say you thought Myspace was cool. Oh, Beach House.
I really like this article, and I identify with a lot of it, especially the part where she writes: “It (religious experience) was such a peaceful feeling that in spite of my doubts about church dogma and my constant kicking and screaming when it came to church stuff, I felt obligated to be Mormon—out of respect to that feeling.”
Hah. I know exactly what she’s talking about.

“
I was doing an interview once, and this guy goes, “So you must be pretty psyched about all this ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ stuff?”
And I was like, “Um, yeah, I am.” I have no idea why though. I had nothing to do with that movie. It’s just some people that kind of look like me are in this movie that everyone loves, and winning Oscars and stuff.
And then I was like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are white people just psyched all the time?” It’s, like, “‘Back to the Future’! That’s us! ‘Godfather’! That’s us! ‘Godfather Part II’! That’s us! ‘Departed’! That’s us! ‘Sunset Boulevard’! That’s us! ‘Citizen Kane’! That’s us! ‘Jaws’! That’s us! Every fucking movie but ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘Boyz n the Hood’ is us! We are white people! Suck our dicks!”

I was just in an English tutorial where we discussed whiteness theory.
GIRL 1: I don’t think it’s an issue calling black people stuff like ‘that black woman’ or ‘Naquisha’. I mean, they’re in the minority here. If we were over there, they’d be calling us ‘that white person’.
GIRL 2: As a white girl, I personally love being racially categorized.
GIRL 3: Haha, hey guys…I had this Mexican friend once and it was so funny because when we met him we were all like “Now we have a cleaner for our apartment!” Also, what’s the problem with the n-word again?
Everyone agrees; laughs.
I don’t think university is a nice place.
