Ah nostalgia...I went to see a movie
"Fear and Trembling" all by myself. I liked it. it was a little slow, and a bit unispired at times, but overall it was good film and interesting story. The strange thing was I walked out of the theatre (that how we spell it in Texas) to my car and for the first time felt a sense ofendearment to the city, coupled with a sense of loss. Not an unhappy loss but a "parting ways" sense. Like you get when you finally realize your ex- girlfriend/boyfriend is better (or at least fine cause who could bebetter without me?) without you and that it's okay. Dallas was my girlfriend for two years which is longer than any relationship I've ever had with an actual living girl (go figure) so I guess its okay. Except dallas won't be okay without me, It'll just continue to be.
The Rogue wave song "sewn up" I think is my favorite song right now. i cannot get it out my head. Alas I will miss them playing here by one day. Lifecontinues.
I just saw a preview for the movie version of "Rent" I think it will be good despite "it's a better play" objection. they are all better plays, but the movie will add to it. I don't know why I care. I stopped listening to the soundtrack years ago. yes I did at one time listen to the soundtrack. A lot.
Sue me. that's just how we do here.
Today was a big day i guess. I had my year end review and the principal asked me what he could have done to make me want to stay. he said usually people make friends in dallas and thats a lot of the reason they stay. As sad as I really am to leave my friends here, I just can't help but feel I'm wasting my time here. Its just so very much not the place for me that a more perfect opposite couldn't be constructed. I'm justifying, but he said he was worried that chicago will have changed and I won't recognize it. Thats what happened to him after he moved back home (Buffalo, NY) after leaving dallas the first time. I didn't tell him, but I was thinking, "God I hope so." Meaning that i hoped it had changed. Change is good, it's part of why I don't like dallas. i'm looking forward to seeing it as a grown-up. Who knows if I'll stay but one thing I can say is if I can live in Texas for two years, I'm positive I can live in Chicago for two until the masters is done. then, we'll see.
