i may have an unexpected interview tomorrow for the TA position i’ve coveted for years and i am so unbearably anxious

I thought about becoming the sort of person who does the kinds of things that a person like me wants to do, but ultimately it’s just not for me
lmao so apparently my mom showed a picture of me? to her stylist? when she went to get her hair cut at the fancy north suburbs salon she for some reason goes to? and the stylist was like “oh we’ve been looking for a short hair model, would your daughter[sic] want to come in sometime next month, we’d do a haircut and color and makeup for free and spend a few hours on photos”
So I Am A Model Now It Appears
i mean of course this also means i will receive Mystery Feminine Haircut and also Mystery Hair Color but i’m actually pretty ok with that rn, i don’t mind the idea of briefly reading more consistently feminine for a while especially since i can definitely grow it out for a month and then just go back to the barbershop i like and be like Don’t Ask Just Make Me A Boy Again and they’ll do it

sometimes everything’s fine but u still just want 2 die and That’s Also Fine
ok what do i wear to the mountain goats tonight. currently i am wearing the ghost print floral shirt and i can’t decide if i stay with it or not
considerations: a good shirt in the abstract for sure. exists in mysterious casualnoncasual simultaneity. might need a jacket or something bc a/c, would have to choose one? vague dad-adjacency vibes/noncausuality means committing to not being in cool gay tmg chicago audience demo but also allows for smug assertion that in fact in wearing it i understand tmg more as the project toward eventually becoming the dad at the end of the deathseeking teenager tunnel/signalling that i am, thru the magic of therapy, already committed to being alive/jd is a literal dad and even he isnt going to be wearing a button down/i’m gay i can do whatever i want/but i still won’t be interesting
(ETA i forgot the original reason i was even debating the shirt in the first place which is that i have to leave the bottom button unbuttoned or it pulls over my hips, bringing forward some interesting philosophical difficulties about the inextricable gendered quality of my fucking skeleton. but clearly i was distracted by more important matters)
anyway. you know. whatever you guys are thinking. for other options i have like…. t shirts. i could always go with my lc! football jersey but i worry i may have done so before given the ease at which the thought occurs to me, plus it’s a little on the nose to show up in fake sports huge letters DOOMED but then again on the nose is possibly also Part of Understanding the Project
today i’m Good Intentions Paving Company
sometimes i’m like “am i sure my old job was as terrible as i say it was?” but then other times i walk into the bathroom at work and realize that i think of it primarily as “a bathroom” and not “the place i go to hide every morning for the first 20 minutes after i get to work so i can spend as little time as possible in a public space where one of my supervisors might talk to me”
