I've become re-obessed with architecture.  It started with an article in the New Yorker a few months ago about Mies van der Rohe that just reminded me the almost eternal beauty that a building can create. That led to me pouring over all of my old architecture books.  Which influenced my class project for ComSysTech which involved designing a beach house with three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen/dining room, entertainment space, and a utility room; and all under 1600 sq.ft.  My design was influenced slightly by Le Corbusier's design for Notre Dame d'Haute.



Anyways, this re-emergence of passion has made me even more excited for college.  There are so many classes I want to take, in every discipline from Russian romantic era composers to the impact of country clubs on society.  I'm still nervous though.  I settled on James Madison University, not sure why.  Then again, I'm not sure why I make any decision.  But, it'll all work out.



Otherwise, I almost cried during the last scene of Streetcar named today.  I don't think that play affects anyone as much as it does me.  It's so closely tied to how I live my life, with the deception Blanche goes through to preserve her image, even if only to herself.  Plus the whole, living in a false reality thing is very reminiscent of my life.  I'm scared, and nervous, and unsteady, and giddy, and generally unsure.  But I think that's where I'm supposed to be in my life right now.

Un-Break My Heart: The Remix Collection

I'm stuck in a romanticized view of the world.

Scarlett: Oh Ashley, Ashley, I love you.
Ashely: Scarlett...
Scarlett: I love you, I do.


This weekend has tightened the bonds between myself and Miss Scarlett even more than usual. I too confessed my love to the unattainable. It was exciting, until I was rejected. 


then i watched My Best Friends Wedding to just tie the weekend together, to allow me to realize I'm not alone in my imaginary world where everyone wants me.

"I love you. I've loved you for nine years, I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it, and... well, now I'm just scared. So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it?"


(if you haven't seen the movie, julia roberts character gets rejected after this plea)

well,  not quite nine years, but two years is still a very long time.  and seriously, this is worse than a breakup.  It's put me in the most melodramatic mood. And, what's worse, I'm still not convinced the relationship i created in my head is over. I still have hope.

Before opening night of the show, Katie and I had some downtime.  So, we explored an abandoned barn and house.











Then we learned to levitate.

I just realized, I don't want to go to any of the colleges I applied to/was accepted into. 


I feel like no matter which school I chose I won't be happy. I should have applied to schools I actually want to go to, not ones that are the highest ranked.  I guess I'm stuck though.
