Rant maybe?

I am in a weird fucking mood. I can't quite figure out where it's coming from--irritable, bored, restless--I'd swear someone slipped some caffine in my salad if I didn't know any better ( Read more... )

school, state of mind, heartbreak

I had 3 reactions to this post:

1) Laughter
2) An inclination to say "There, there. Let it all out."
3) Empathy: I don't ever feel "creative" myself and often wonder what happened to debating issues and ideas. I can't answer the creative part, but I think that the latter went away with college or college ideals. When I'm not surrounded by academics, my IQ starts to slip.

Laughter is a good response--I think I was having a Notes from the Underground moment. I didn't understand that book until a professor told me (in a heavy brooklyn accent) "Niki, it's a riot!"

And this is why you're smarter than me. I don't even know what Notes From the Underground is and had never heard of it until you mentioned it.

My first reactions were: 1. wanting to give you a hug. 2. wanting to yell at you that you always have been, and still are, one of the smartest, most diverse, and most creative people I know.

But it's funny... last night I was thinking about all of our past conversations about literature, and how many great ideas you had, and how many times you pointed out some aspect of a novel that I had never noticed before, and I realized that I really miss talking about novels with you. And I'm sure that you still have lots to say about literature - it's not that you can't talk about it anymore, it's just that the last year or two we've avoided the topic.

But maybe this is a conversation we should have over the phone, instead of on LJ...
