aslantlast night was the first night in two weeks that i slept alone, in my own bed. i have been sleeping at k's house since wednesday when the bed arrived, dreaming dreams almost sickening in their intensity. one in which c & i had a screaming fight & she called me developmentally retarded. it is disorienting, dreaming that much.
we went to see a mighty wind friday night. it was excellent. it was so fucking funny. god i needed a laugh.
.
k has an interview today! so cross your internet fingers for him.
.
in four days i'm going to smith for the two-year reunion. what is more pathetic: that i'm going, or that i have no one to go with? i have a laundry list of people to avoid when i get there, and most of them will be rooming in the same house with me. i hope hope hope leah or jen will be there. otherwise i will be lost, annoyed, alone. there is a virginia woolf conference thing all day saturday, which i am hoping will distract me.
or maybe i will just wander off in the woods and take oodles of pictures. we have to wear white in order to walk in the alumnae procession before commencement. i have a white eyelet lace skirt that spreads out wide from my hips. i will wear that. and since i can bleach it clean when i get home, can't i just go swim in the pond wearing it? take floating mermaid pictures? if walking upright and smiling becomes too much?
ha. i am pretending the campus will be empty enough to take pictures. it will be swarming with people, faces.

Date: 2003-05-12 07:17 am (UTC)i want to wander off in the woods with you.
i also want a digital camera that works
and a white eyelet lace skirt.
Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 07:39 am (UTC)skirt is from the gap! oh, shame of shames.
i am such a suburban girl.
but, it is so hard to find white dresses &
skirts that are not like $97 at ann taylor or
something. the gap, at least, has simple
lines. i do not have the body for all that
flouncy assymmetrical urban outfitters and
h&m stuff :P
mermaid pictures! i think i really would, if i
had a real tripod. i have just a miniature table-top one. it is very cute, but ineffective
in the Great Outdoors. i am going to go
wander in the woods, though. i am getting
nostalgic for all the picnics with wine &
cheese with my friends that we did senior
year in the spring.

Date: 2003-05-12 07:44 am (UTC)i have a tabletop tripod, too. very cute! diego bought it for me at a discount store back in september and said "i bought you something that was just $4 and you're going to love me forever for it." i couldn't imagine what it might be. but he was right that i was thrilled to get it.
i borrowed my mom's real tripod for the first time over spring break and it was amazing, so freeing.
i used to wander in the "woods" of central park but haven't in at least a year.
Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 08:00 am (UTC)i want a cord to trigger the shutter from a distance, instead of having set the autotimer and run around to get into place all the time. mmm. accessories.
is there a reason that your dad or your mom couldn't let you borrow a digital camera for a long time this summer? you could always mail it back to them if they needed it or something. or maybe you could get yours repaired with graduation gift money?

Date: 2003-05-12 08:20 am (UTC)i could possibly borrow my dad's; i don't think he uses it much. but considering i've already dropped and broken mine, i wonder how willing he'd be to entrust his to me?
according to the one estimate i've gotten it would cost a lot to repair mine and i'd be better off buying a new one. which would be exciting! but my birthday isn't until the end of the summer. i hadn't thought of graduation money, however! hmm...

Date: 2003-05-12 08:21 am (UTC)yes, i found the idea of naked posture photos *most* strange...i also love the idea that jeans were totally bohemian, but it was de rigeur to wear bermuda shorts :-)
reading her diaries - it really is like reading about another world.
newnham college, cambridge, where she also studied is very disappointing - it's miles away from the town centre (well, on a very hot day swarming with tourists it sure *felt* like miles!), down a rather boring side street. the building itself is just...there. i'd so looked forward to seeing it, but it was a big let-down...i suppose i'd over-romanticised the whole thing :-)

Date: 2003-05-12 11:59 am (UTC)by the way, drew suggesting running because the endorphins created while running help your immune system and it will also tire you out. but i'm glad you're feeling better.
have fun with the photo-ops. be nice to the people you stand next you.
xo.

Date: 2003-05-12 01:33 pm (UTC)i've been thinking about you a lot, and writing you. but then when i finish letters all of a sudden they aren't relevent anymore. i'm leaving this city in a week (thank god) and i'll have plenty of time (for about a week) to make you happy mixtapes for your walkman and write you letters that i will SEND (promise) and pictures, as well.
how are things going? i mentioned you yesterday when speaking of my nalgene bottle. heh.
loveyou!

Date: 2003-05-12 01:44 pm (UTC)i wonder about these unposted letters. i have no idea what is going on with you? you are leaving somewhere, and you are going somewhere, but i really have no clue where either of those places might be.
things're....good. happy, sane. work is boring but i am starting up projects bit by bit. photography type things. k is here and we spend all our time together. i feel like my life is moving somewhere & i'm not quite certain where that might be, but it's lovely.
lovelove.
