Out of the deep end

[bombs___away]

I just wrote a very long entry on the subject of my shallowness. But I deleted it. Suffices to say, being constantly reminded of and surrounded by the standards of someone else is very damaging to self esteem, especially when that person is as obsessed as you are with the attractiveness of others. It really makes me feel very, very bad.

Hey, what's up? Just wanted to commend your taste in music. Are you a student at UofI?

[bombs___away]

I am indeed a student at U of I- and I also appreciate my taste in music! You go to U of I too?

I did go to U of I...I graduated in May, though I'm still working on the thesis for one of my degrees. Now I'm just living in Des Moines like a bum. As you like The Cure and Oasis, I think you might like The Smiths as well. Here are some songs you might want to check out to pique your interest:

"This Charming Man"
"William It Was Really Nothing"
"How Soon Is Now?"
"Bigmouth Strikes Again"
"Panic"

P.S. I just saw that you know Erak (Brandt), who is one of my best friends...and that you were Payne's roommate. Small world...
