a statement regarding the highpretention level in my previous entry- while i am sheepishly proud to have written the most pretentious livejournal entry ever, i will admit it was over the top. i didn't think it was so bad at the time, but now i believe you kids are right on this one. guess i feel like i haven't been writing anything pretty, like i

i don't think it was highly pretensious at all. but now im hungry like a mungry and have no one to eat bagels with. well, thats a lie. but i don't have a one person.

bagels in germany are terrible. they make me squish up my face and say ewww. they cost like $3 and people find it odd when you order them with just creamcheese and nothing else. there is one satisfying bagel place but it is far away from my house and they play technorave music and there are orange seats and bagels there still cost me far too much. conclusion- i would give a lot to eat a bruger's with you! i tried calling you last night but you are already in new york and my telephone wouldn't let me call yrs. i'll dissapear for three weeks, and then hopefully we can talk. love!

are you nuts?

J-Lou,
I agree with Sheena. There was no pretention about it. If you think that writing eloquently and fascinatingly is equivalent to snobbish attempts at glorifying a day's past, then you are sadly mistaken my dear.
Before I became so lazy, I was going to comment on your entry by saying "It's too bad you don't have a knack for second languages because your prose is high-quality material that belongs in every international art magazine." I can seriously see you as a permanent contributor to something like BOMB.

christoph is just crazy, clearly. maybe cabinet can still happen someday. i'm perfectly okay with yr comment, i mean, it's my journal but it is a public forum and you have every right to tell me what you think of my writing since i'm putting it out here for you (among others) to read. so don't fret. i think enfield is a discint possibility. i'm already stressing about housing lotto. i can't wait for you to not be an intern. and to have wenz and murial back. it's gonna be hott. much love to you, lady.

audacious /demands/suggestions/ potential cure for your melodrama and nostalgia:

do not worry so much over others' opinions of you because it only divorces you from the meaningful connections with those around you, despite the protection from fears and loss that it may provide. just have some faith in yourself.

i have faith in nothing but beauty.

[scottsjackson]

whose beauty, yours or others?
along with beauty comes greater loss, it is not a sort of general appreciation.
i hope you are not talking about some hippie conception of beauty- of everything has beauty and loving every fleeting sensation in a totally detached manner.
