Before I begin, I’d like to recognize the Reference Librarians, the kid from last week who ate the entire thing of bread, the skunk who died and the wacko who claims to have killed it.
When I first submitted this Wespeak, the porch at 215 Pine had “Wrestling is gay” chalked on it in a festive, fall pink. Due to lots of stepping/scraping, now it merely says “Wrestling is,” a reality that not even the most vocal Wespeaker can deny. While I have been known to say stuff is “gay”—out homosexuals who call themselves gay, the pink triangle, some of my cousins who are gay as well as others, Brokeback Mountain, hand holding, Paris Hilton’s chihuahua, and other things that are just so gaaaaaay, I still didn’t want the gayness of wrestling commemorated for the rest of the year on the gay piece of plywood that is the porch. So I submitted a request that still stands, even though the word “gay” is gone (from the porch, I mean): I would really love it if you chalked something new on this porch.
As a senior, I want something chalked on my porch that has meaning for my Wesleyan career. Maybe a favorite such as “I heart Midge” or just a slew of expletives directed at people who irritate you. Not really, but while I’m at it, you don’t heart Midge you most likely don’t even know her, let alone how to heart her the way she wants to be hearted. Anyway, at this juncture you might be thinking, “Norah Andrews, why don’t you do it your own self?” or “I don’t know you why would I chalk on your porch?” And all I could say is that “I don’t want to get SJB-ed” and “I think you would be really good at exterior decorating.” Don’t let my lack of an argument in favor of your chalking my porch stop you from doing it! Consider all the other times you’ve haphazardly done things at this school. Never? Then, I hope you’ll make this a first and use different colors and put maybe stars or animals or my name as an acrostic poem.
