Zombies and Rambling
So Zombie LARPish-ness was extremely fun. (Yay Oliners at MIT!) The game was ridiculously difficult and fast paced, so our team died in short order, but there were no shortage of funny and scary moments, so it was a lot of fun.
I stayed later rest of my team, NPCing, hanging out with Xave, Patty (Xave's friend), and the rest of the LARPers, and generally trying to be social with varying degrees of success, and also feeling sad/regretful/confused about socialness and Olin-vs-MIT-ness and politics and my plans for winter break.
And I heard a singer in the subway station on the way home... that's one of the reasons Boston is better than Cleveland: There aren't street artists in Cleveland, or at least not many. I think street art is cool; it is in some way the most honest profession.
And I saw a piece of graffiti in the subway station reading "good luck", and I wondered who had written it and why. Who were they wishing good luck too? Were they sincere, or sarcastic?
Have I changed? I want to act differently than I did before, but is it worth the effort? Am I succeeding? It's hard to try to be more self-aware, as one starts off with no frame of reference.
