amazing ramblings because I don't want to forget.
the funny thing about my life right now is that lots of things appear to be going incredibly wrong, but i'm still having a magnificent time. i've been stood up twice (the third was due to a misunderstanding), gotten a ride home from my art history teacher, and i still have to finish my uw app by the deadline. BUT i've had two amazing dinners with maria, seen little miss sunshine (which was fantastic) and half applied to beloit.
i now own donnie darko. which i am in love with. it makes me really happy. and its song played while we were waiting for miss sunshine to start.
um, boys should call when they say they will.
and i feel like i'm not adequately describing the way i feel.
it's more than just happy. i've been genuinely enjoying myself. i ran into alan downtown, which was short, but good fun. i am in love with random coincidences, things that surprise you when they happen.
a lot of them have been happening lately. like when i visited smith college (which, by the way, is now my first choice. omygod. oh. and i mean this in the most amazing way possible. i hated it, and now it's everything i hope for.) i'd been at mount holyoke (which was AWFUL.) seeing as i hated it, it took (suddenly i feel as if i can't spell took...)less time than expected, so we ran by smith.
which is where the uh oh how wrong could i get holy fuck took place.
yes.
so, we drove into northampton, which was kind of amazing. and apparently they get music like portland, even though their radio sucks(how to save a life four times in two days. i almost thought i'd die. although i can sing along now...) and has all sorts of nifty shops, and reminds me of the towns on our coast. (i got the most amazing freudian slippers there. my feet stick out his mouth. putting your foot in it, ahar. i love them. oh hush.)
and that's when i started to feel whoopsish. then we drove up to the college, and in, and stopped by their theatre. the mount holyoke theatre is awful. it is worse than lincoln's. (which isn't bad, but i expect more from a college.) and the campus looked nice. more, uhhh.....ehhh.....can't feel this way. like when you start to feel attraction for someone you've always hated, and been very vocal about. which is basically what this was. exactly.
and then we got in the theatre, and. nice. and then i saw it. the sign. (an actual sign, although my mother, by this point, had been spending too much time with me, and got into a laughing fit over the punnage of sign vs sign, of which this kind of was both.) ARCADIA. for those who don't know, which is probably everybody, arcadia may just be my favorite play. and not for good reasons like it's well written or anything (although if the script had been bad, i'd have hated it.) but because of the whole tutor thing. as much as i hate to say it, romance makes me incredibly happy, and that play makes my cry. ish. gives me the same feeling as donnie darko, so maybe we're noticing a trend here.
but the big thing about this, was that i'd been looking for pictures of arcadia at the mount holyoke theatre. it's kind of what i look for, because it's the play i associate with good college theatre. (it's the only good thing i've seen at reed. where everyone in it was amazing. macbeth SUCKED.)
and then it was just beautiful
oh.
and later, in the hotel (maybe) i opened some of my halloween candy (starbursts), and both of them were pink. which is my favorite flavor ever. if you could word things that way.
so you see.
i have to go.
(the campus was beautiful and amzing and ohhh the people were nice and interesting and their boathouse is fantastic as are their houses. and i'm getting to be very good at paddling, which makes me happy.oh. the education is good too XD.)
and i'll do that thing i was tagged for later. maybe XD
