08/25/2002 Entry: "schemitzun"

The summer has reduced me to a sensitive, emotional wack-job. I was watching Muppets in Manhattan last night and I was reminded that the first time I saw this movie I cried in happiness when Kermit and Miss Piggy got married. Then I also remembered that I cried the first time I saw The Little Mermaid when Ariel become a mortal and left her father in the sea. All my thinking about crying led me on the verge of tearing up imagining when I'd leave my dad to marry a man, all of this crazy thinking happened at the movie's wedding scene too-what a quinky dink. So Joan and I went to the Schemitzun (it's the daddy of all pow-wows in north america) today and we got there in time to watch the Grand Entrance of all tribes. Seeing 500 tribes of men, women, and children in all their colorful & featherful & leathery goodness, it just about made me cry to see such beautiful people dressed up in their regalia. Like Daisy in The Great Gatsby where she burst into tears after seeing all of Gatsby's colorful shirts. I don't know what's happened to me. It's past that time of the month too.

I took some photos that you can see here 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

We might go back again tomorrow with Jane and I'll try to take better photos or else I may have to save up for a new digital camera. Maybe tomorrow we can catch the rodeo as well. Real cowboys! Real smelly poop!

And wow, thanks for all the comments in the last entry. I feel like Madonna. Now that I'm convinced I have your attention, I don't know what to say. Well, I'm really excited to go back to school. It disappointed me that all my good friends in college all live scattered around the state so we haven't seen each other all summer. I'll be taking Chemistry, Ethics (Philosophy), French, and Personality (Psychology). Plus, a dork like me can't wait for the high speed connection in my room.
