....put it in a boat
light it on fire
you can use the gasoline
you can send me out to sea
Haha not really depressed in a body burning way. Viking funerals are just COOL.
prepare for the rant.
Anywho, first week of school is done and i think we can survive. Classes are actually pretty fun this year.
And I don't think I'm too worried about the future anymore. Still not sure art school-wise...but whatever I do it won't be because of what someone else thinks.
I know it was that guy at CMU who sparked the flame, but truth be told it was when i first visited w/ clare before i met him that did it...i snagged one of those art college brochure things and mentioned it to my parentals...and got a ho-hum response. So i put it in with the rest of my art college stash. But now that I actually told them that I might be really interested in it, they're okay with it. As okay as parents can be.
I think I would feel better about it if they were something less imposing than lawyers, so I didn't feel as though I had to be something equally imposing. Not to impress or even appease them, just to make me feel like I was accomplishing something big.
But I don't think I feel like that anymore. I'm just going to pick a place that I like, pick classes that I like, and be what I like, not what teachers or interviewers or parents suggest to me. I really don't now yet what exactly, but I'M GONNA FIND OUT. And hopefully get some good food whilst I'm finding out

One big careerish factor is that I want to be proud of whatever I do. No offense to CEOS or marketing directors or tv anchors or anything, but I don't think i can wear that badge proudly. Dolphin trainer's sounding pretty good right now.
on a more exciting note, hip hip for katie at her new educational camp! She is our pioneer into this world of wonder.
and NEWSFLASH
THE HARRY POTTER EGG IS DEAD

sad news indeed. we may have to make another one.
and I found this really awesome bizi-ness:
[link]all their jewelry is made out of seeds to provide an alternative for ivory. I know it's illegal to import/ex ivory, but apparently the UN lifted this for some countries. Way to go kids.
so these will probably be your xmas/ winter solstice presents!
I'm reading over the college rant right now and it sounds really lame. But it felt good to type it all up so thanks for putting up with it

LONG LIVE POTTER THE EGG
