This entry started out 3 paragraphs about a dream I had last night and turned into a huge convoluted mess about dreams of CS and Adam Yauch and what I think they mean.

wow - i had to take a break.

In an effort to find some of my old old old design work to put into a portfolio, I started cleaning out our side room - which since we moved here 5 years ago has become an over-sized closet and a place we keep the papers on the floor for charro to use.
So, crap, I just found some shit that just blew my mind and I had to chill for a second. All the memories were quite overwhelming.

First i found some old copies of letters I wrote to Adam Yauch in 1994. For some reason he wrote me back 3 times - but when I re-read the letters I wrote I come off as a huge psycho on the border of being a stalker. Maybe I'll get the nerve to transcribe a couple of those here to LJ some day, but for now I need to forget how young and ignorant i was. I don't think i've ever been more obsessed with anyone or anything the way I was with him and the Beastie Boys. And it's been 11 years since - unbelievable.

But what's been even longer, my first obsession - 21 years - I found ALL this fanclub stuff from Culture Club! "Newsletters" from 1984 advertising pen pals around the world and merch. I even had autographed pictures of all the members including Helen Terry and buttons of all of them. Wow. I had NO IDEA I kept all of that! I remember how excited I used to be coming home for lunch (I was in 6th grade and the school was a block away) and finding some Culture Club propaganda in the mailbox. I would scream like the little girl i was! I miss those days - I'd much rather still get a physical paper letter in the snail mail than email. Pretty soon I'll be reminiscing about getting simple emails over text messages and whatever else the future holds.

i have my first job interview Wednesday. I went looking for portfolios today - they're like $50+ - I can't afford that! I'll have to find a plan B.
Oooh, Shiv on WOXY is playing Electronic "Feel Every Beat" right now. Takes me back to college.

Muse finally announced their first round of April tour dates - I'm a little disappointed but at least they'll be in Michigan for 1 show i can see. What a madhouse that will be!
Christ, fucking college students. Don't mean to offend anyone who may be reading, but as a generalization students just wear me out. Maybe it's bitterness, I don't know.
