So I've hit the institution popularly known as university, and anyone who's reading this would know because everyone who reads this knows me in 'real' life too. Everyone who's reading this would also know that I am doing nothing but procrastinating by writing this, to the point that I really should not be writing this at all because I have a huge test tomorrow.
I have this thing where I feel like I need to impress people, which is lame, but I know I'm no where near alone in that aspect of my personality. For example, there was a poster sale on campus the other day and I bought some posters(as one tends to do at a sale for posters). Anyways, I bought 'Don Quixote" by Picasso, 'Les Elephants" by Dali, and a crazy colourful one by Kandinsky. Needless to say, I am no art critic and I really know very little to do with art. In my defense I really do like these paintings, but I can't help but think that I bought them in part for credibility. You know, when that cool, well dressed, extremely cultured person who lives on your floor in res walks by and is like, "oh my, Salvador Dali, he's just excellent." And you're like "Hmm, I suppose he's ok, you know all the artist out there, there really are lots that are much better than him, for numerous reasons." Well, I guess that didn't really happen, but it could have, and then I would have been like, score, brownie points with that random! Res seems to suck the life out of you. It is by no means easy to make friends when everyone is either already friends with a lot of people or they're just weird and immature and get into cliques that are way worse than highschool ever was.
So the moral of the story is don't go to university, especially don't live in res, and buy posters because you like them, not because you want others to like you because they think you like them... And now I MUST go and study.

Hahaha, well its about time you posted somthing megan! This was a very sweet way of showing just how funny a little stress can be.
As far as people go, well, they mostly suck. so if some fucker starts to lecture you about what art is 'good' or 'true' well, you should probably shoot the rightious asshole in the face.
...Enless of course he mentions zdzislaw bekinski....
anyways. In keeping with the format, the moral of this comment is that dali is cool.
oh meggie.
i think allan pretty much summed it up. if it makes you feel any better, art has nothing to do with posters in my res. since it's all girls, there are mostly posters of naked johnny depp.
yeah, you heard me.
Aw, gee, thanks pals. :)
