These are just my thoughts, and they are in brainstorm format more than anything else.
In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, this.

Okay. Writing all my ideas after only one view first. I watched it exactly at noon, and have thought about it since then, so these are my ideas after almost two hours of thought and only one view. (and much twitter conversation, mostly with @beyonddeities)

  • Doesn’t seem cohesive with the song.
  • Repo! The Genetic Opera. The heart? What?
  • It was released on Glee day. Gaga said she loved the Glee ep featuring her songs. So.
  • Gaga is a boy okay.
  • I just don’t think it meshes up with the song. I have specific mental associations with that song and it just doesn’t fit. I understand that songs mean different things to different people. This doesn’t fit my idea of what this song means.
  • The things that @beyonddeities said in her sleep-deprived state.
    • “I find the simple colours powerful, because what she is doing is going to anger people. Its beautiful.”
    • “And the choreography just..captures the androgyny, the ~freeness of sexuality in the barren landscape, the wars of us.”
    • “Maybe she’s going against what we’re used to.. She’s creating a solemn element, a slower pace that works with the song? I mean making us uncomfortable is part of the whole idea… I think.”

    This. This. I. I get it? I mean. Idk, I just, the fact that there could have been seven million things going on in her mind while she made this video. The fact that we are likely to never know what she was thinking, and what her true meanings are.

  • This tweet from @ChrisCrocker. “Alejandro is @LadyGaga’s best video thus far. She is preparing us for less fashion oriented videos. She’s making you bitches focus on art.” Yes, but what kind of art? Going back to my last point, we don’t know. We really have no idea, which I guess is the point of art. Getting us to think of our own meanings. But I already had my own meaning for the song, and now my meaning for the song is having a hard time agreeing with my meaning for the video.

Look, I don’t even know. I need to watch it a few more times, these are just my initial thoughts.

So I made this jumper. It’s black and it has buttons made from real shells. My friend Meg says it’s cute, but I’ve never worn it. My friend TJ says it’s not. He just has something against jumpers, or overalls, or cute things, I guess. I’m sitting in his office right now. There are also things like crayons and legos in here, so I guess it’s a playroom too. There used to be pokemon toys but I stole them all and now they’re in my room. He’s fighting on the couch with Justine. She called him a little sorority bitch. See on lookbook.

I don’t really know why I’m awake. I took some pictures in some cool outfits earlier. I’m supposed to be cleaning up my room. or sleeping. I think I’ll go to bed after I post this. It’s an outfit I made a while ago. I guess about a year ago. It’s two pieces, a top and a skirt, but it looks like a dress kind of. I guess it’s a summer look and I should probably wear it out sometime. See it on lookbook.

I moved out of college. I had to take all of my stuff and move it into the house in which my parents have been living. There was a bunch of my crap already in the room into which I am moving. I’ve been trying to sort through the overabundance of clothing I have, and get rid of most of it. I found this green crocheted sweater that I forgot all about. My grandmother gave me a bunch of sweaters and I think this is the only one I’m going to keep. View on Lookbook.

There was a day that was rainy and beautiful. I had final exams to worry about but all I could think of was how lovely the rain was. Coincidentally, I found my camera that morning. I wanted to capture all the beauty of nature and the feeling that the rain brought about. I found a friend and ventured outside, but the rain had paused. We took a picture anyways. View on lookbook.
