Hey. Back in computer Apps 2. I haven't checked since yesterday, so I don't know if my internet is working or not. I will be at ACC at 5:30 today, and all my forms that I had are signed. We started The Great Gatsby in English today and watched a movie on Fitzgerald. Aside from making a 65 on the movie quiz (it was all about names), it was pretty interesting. Fitzgerald embodies the search for manhood gone awry that was described in Wild at Heart. Did you ever learn about him? His dad was a failure in the business world and so he vowed to not be like him in that (running from father). He was driven and commited to becomeing successful- to capture the golden girl as he called it- the southern belle; the beauty. He became an alcoholic and died at age 44 from a heart attack. His materialistic wife died in a sanitarium fire (she went crazy too). They spent their lives living it up in the roaring twenties- he described it as a prolonged orgy. And I realized that I could tie it all in to this concept of twisted manhood and the search for the answer to that haunting question. It was written all over his life. So I thought that was pretty cool, and I think that the book might be a further lesson from God regarding this. It seemed too coincidental.
I can't wait to read your email- hopefully my internet will be working by then. If not- maybe you could print it and give it to me Wednesday (usually the internet is back up relatively soon). I resisted the temptation to check it this morning- bad priorities and not enough time.
I read through the part about how Eve is not the answer and got to the sticky notes. I really appreciate the willingness to listen and the empathy. It means a lot to me- you are truly amazing- how many girls would even consider this book, let alone become involved and want to help? I was thinking about it all- do you think I'm looking for you to be the answer? I don't think so, and I'm glad (if you think differently, it will be important to know so I can see it). I think that you have handled everything wonderfully, for your quiet submissiveness on some points has forced me to look at my life, and while I feel lile I'm free to be the man with you, I don't expect you to make me the man. I'm just getting to the part where it talks about God being the source of our iniiation. (pause for a nap in class....) (hmmm almost time to go) where was I? This class sure is productive. Anyway- I'm sure I'll talk to you later. Have a great afternoon (if you have time you can call me, but I will probably only be home for about an hour or less- ACC). Hope rehearsal goes well. -Tristan
