Because Otherwise I Might Start Forgetting Things

I am going to tell you all about my mid-winter break.

Things:

     So I got into CalPoly. The crazy school I told you about earlier. Visited, it was okay, they're giving me some money but not lots, I'll think about it and hopefully I'll get in other places. Not a big story.

     Big story: I saw Jackie Choi. And by saw I mean I got to hang out with her for a day in which she showed me the awesome parts of Monterey, she talked about her touristy home while I got to be a tourist, we had delicious nutella crepes, we talked about boys, we took pictures in this weird photobooth on the wharf, we visited an actual antique shop, an antique clothing shop, and a little old bookstore, we generally freaked out over actually being in the same place at the same time, and we got to communally yell at David Krucik. Just like old times. Oh and we slept together. No but actually, seeing her being wonderful in her show and sitting next to Krucik of all people was amazing. Talking to Krucik really was a throwback, because I really had not talked to him in two and a half years, and all we had to do was mock each other and talk about CTY and watch everyone congratulate jackielove on being awesome. So that plus our sleepover that consisted of the three of us, plus two of jackie's seriously fabulous friends (one of whom we had to sneak in), made talking until three in the morning and getting up two hours later to catch a plane totally worth it. Because I realized, as David woke up to give me a sleepy and sincere hug goodbye, that "See you later" is really all I can say to CTYers. Because I will. I will see them later. So I could go hug jackielove goodbye without any real problem because it wasn't really goodbye. I'll see her again. Just like how if i managed to see David Krucik again, the same David Krucik who was more frustrating and obnoxious than maybe anyone else at CTY, and actually have a good time, I'll find a way to make sure I get to see everyone I want to. It might be soon and it might be a years from now, but it will happen. So there.

And then I got to come home and not get free movie passes but still watch the Oscars and eat chicken pot pie, which is basically the best thing ever. After people who make me happy.

i think my favorite thing about Pearl is the way her arcs always come back to simplicity. over and over she rejects glory in favor of just living her life. she ends HC8 by losing everything she has, diving into the void with nothing but her friends to accompany her. in Empires her kingdom was defined by farming - the very symbol of a peaceful life. in HC9's Empires crossover she actively rejects being referred to as Santa Perla, saying how absurd it would be for her, a simple cleaning lady, to be a god. even when she does remember, she doesnt make a scene out of it. theres no dramatic shouting to the room or swearing vengeance for her kingdom having been burnt - the only outward sign she gives of her memory returning is her telling Sausage, a soft word to an old friend from across the room. then she goes right back to her simple job keeping the server clean. and then there's Decked Out - she doesn't win, and she doesn't get any recognition in the final day ceremony except for a brief sentence, but she's okay with that - because she knows, and the Dungeon knows, and Tango knows, that she's the one who really understood the Dungeon. in Double Life, her entire motivation is to not be lonely - something she only manages at the very end, when she, Cleo, Martyn, and Scott are a real team, and she ends her season with the act of forgiveness as her final words. in Limited Life and Secret Life, she states outright that she doesn't want to win - she makes her goal to have good friends and to get one of them to win. over and over and over again all Pearl wants is a nice life and a few friends to share it with.
