Brain Dick or Your Hallowed Halls
Sent at 12:48 AM on Friday
me: my brain dick is HUGE
like it hardly fits
i can't wear hats
i sufffer from migraines
because my brain dick is constantly throbbing in my skull and pressing against my eyeballs
Morgan: i want to apply with that
me: you don't even know how much you want my giant brain cock in your school
your school wants it so bad
me: your school is a little slut who wants itbad
Morgan: lets get dirty and apply to grad schools
me: we can sexually harass everyone
me: Dear Wright Institute, my name is Lindsey Boldt and I am interested in studying psychology because I would like to someday use my in depth knowledge of the human psyche to start a cult based around making me feel good.
Morgan: because someday, i want your slut program to have my big brain dick bump up against your faculty walls
me: I will cultivate transference with as many people as possible until they all think that I am both their mommy and their daddy and then I will exploit them.
me: You, admissions councelor, you know you want it.
me: forget what the deans want
what do you want?
me: do you want a big juicy, hefty, healthy brain in your institution?
one that's sensitive to your needs
sensitive to your mission statement
Morgan: a big thick brain tearing through the panties of cold institutional thought?
Morgan: sensitive to the funding challenges faced in our new economy? this big dick is not only big, but comes loaded.
me: fully loaded
Morgan: ready to pour forth academic, fecund academic product, all over your eager admissions face
me: What does interdisciplinary mean to me? It means flexibility and confidence in a multiplicity of positions and departments.
me: It means that I can and will go and do ANYTHING
Morgan: it means bending over backwards for my intellectual passions, and the forwards, to meet the needs of the university as well
me: yes, forward little by little and then back, back and then forward and then back and forth and back and forth and back and forth
Morgan: i throb with an intellectualism that desires to explore every nook and cranny of my discipline, to taste every academic flavor that your program has to offer
me: my desire for knowledge and intellectual rigor is equaled in intensity only by my discipline and stamina.
Morgan: I am a person that's deeply concerned with how deep my big intellect can penetrate your institution
me: i am in it for the long, long haul. i take the phrase "masters program" very seriously. I will strive to achieve dominance in my field.
Morgan: When i say that I put the pedal to the metal in my academic pursuits, I mean that I will be putting my metal to your petal
me: I find rigidity of thought to be, yes exciting but I strive to enact a firmness of position while still maintaining the nubility and flexibility necessary to both challenge and please my institution
me: maybe we should write some from a female perspective
Morgan: the kind of academic experience I seek results from an intensely personal and exciting exploration of the most hidden and secret parts of myself. I hope that your faculty will recognize the unique position in which i now sit, ready, to receive.
me: i feel exhilarated by a kind of openness that i have never experienced before
Morgan: its almost as if revelations and realizations flood from somewhere previously untouched, a vault of pent up intellectual exhilaration, simply waiting for the seasoned hands of an autumn institution such as yours.
me: My mind needs stimulation
Morgan: by old man acadamia
me: my brain dick is HUGE
like it hardly fits
i can't wear hats

reflecting on primary heartbreak and it's persistent reverberations. first love is one of two people depending on gender and sometimes they die or leave or ignore or misunderstand or screw up or have differing priorities and desires. second heartbreak is one of two people depending on gender and sometimes ditto. the numbers can vary as can the genders but watch it not matter. everyone henceforth is one or the other or not of interest. what happens if you only have the one? or half a one? or have two for half the time and then only one? or more than two? watch it not matter. heartbreak.
which is the best metaphor for that sneaking up behind and tapping on the shoulder and the shocked look of recognition: rings in water, spiral arms, feedback loop, plenty others. funny to realize the one sneaking up and tapping is the one looking shocked, the one with the shoulder, the one with whiplash from double-taking.
sorry, but that doppleganger is you, silly. DUH. DUH. sorry.
