it'll melt your heart


it's that time of year again, the spring/summer fever is setting in. every spring since that first one we met gets me to thinking about him. and i wonder if i've lost him forever. i sure hope not. i don't know if i should share that where anyone can access it, but he's on my mind and i cannot seem to help it.

i've been reading ALL afternoon about edie sedgwick. i have to research her for my comm 321 final paper about how she has remained an iconic figure in our culture. i am absolutely fascinated by her life. i am currently reading a book by george plimpton and jean stein about her life--basically it's a bunch of vignettes from people who knew her at different points in her life. it's absolutely enthralling to me. i find her so intriguing and i have always loved that point of view [someone else's take on a person]. i especially love the first person point of view. something i am completely obsessed about. edie's life was so tragic, but so uninhibited and so frivolous. it's absolutely ridiculous. i think this paper is going to be a lot more fun than i had originally imagined. i also just finished a biography of sorts regarding andy warhol. that whole period of the 1960's just absolutely fascinates me. i am captivated most tremendously by it.

hopefully things will fall together for me this week && next. i e-mailed for more info on a receptionist job for the summer, so hopefully that proves fruitful.

sweeter dreams.
