spelling mistakes aplenty.

    i wonder if you can be good at something and ever really lose it. like, can you forget what it means to sit down and arrange words on paper and have them mean something beyond any syllable you could ever part your lips to speak - and have everything after that brief, fleeting period of furious genius be mediocre? that's a scary word. mediocrity

Are you familar with RENT? (the musical...)

[xbravenewgirlx]

Nope, I've never seen it. Reasons...?

[xbravenewgirlx]

ew . . . not to sound all bratty (but i do anyway, so forgive me), i really must say that i despise the phrase "i wish you well", regardless of the numerous times i've made use of it over the years. it sounds like you're saluting the dead. burying me off this soon, eh, antonia? it just sounds like i'm going somewhere (which i'm not, bar university next year, which shan't interfere with my livejournal addiction) or you're trying to get rid of me (hopefully no), but i'm quite certain you don't view the saying in the same context i do, so i suppose that's one non-issue resolved

intriguing it is.

thank you.
this may sound a little too "i'd like to thank the academy", but it was really everyone on here that inspired me to write it. i was feeling frustrated. do you think talent can be a tangible entity, something that you lose or gain like a talisman?
because sometimes i feel like i've misplaced what first drew me to words. and i remember how to love and appreciate them, but every time i try to position them on a page, they float away, and i sit there, helpless.

[crypt_child]

Yes, or maybe just the inclination to have talent... it seems to fluctuate with everyone, although the underlying brilliance is still there.

Words are a pain. It'd be nice to just make noises and have people understand them...

i really liked that. honesty can be brutal, but i love it no matter what.

Vous etes beau.

without honesty, we'd have no reason to exist.
take away truth, and beauty and love can't be far behind.

may i borrow this entry? will credit. i was just very moved and inspired. i haven't read/written a stream of consciousness thing of that sort in a while. i lost myself in your words. it's a beautiful entry. beautiful thoughts. it was a beautiful feeling. *i* felt that beautiful feeling!
i'm meeting you when i learn how to drive. wait a year or two. <3

[xbravenewgirlx]

of course you may use it, ne t'inquietes pas, darling. <333
hmm, i can drive . . .
oh, and a bit off-topic, BUT
i've decided: i probably won't get into barnard now (i totally screwed up the sat IIs, and i'm a bit behind on the app, plus i've missed my chance to interview), but if i don't get into my second first-choice, then i'll head off to an in-state honors program, build up my trabscript, and transfer after a semester or two. RIGHT in time for your glorious arrival at columbia.
c'est parfait, n'est-ce pas?
LOVE,
j.
