Whose writing do you admire the most?
There are so many, but I am going to list my top three favorite writing.
1). E.E Cummings. He was so daring and courageous to break out of the shell of typical poetry and to add random punctuation and to move onto a new line when no one else would have. Not to mention the words he puts in his poems come together to make a wonderful poem.
2). Now, this one may surprise you, but I really wish I could write like Death Cab for Cutie. One of my most favorite songs of theirs is What Sarah Said because of the way they describe the hospital and ICU. It is just completely perfect. It makes you think and yet, at the same time, you know exactly what they are talking about.
3). Jonathan Larson, writer and creater of Rent, the musical. Rent has been one of my all time favorite things in this world since I saw it in 2001. It has a powerful message and makes me sob like a baby every time I see it. I was a little disappointed with the movie, but not nearly how much I thought I would be. It is most definitely worth seeing at least once in your lifetime.
That’s my list.
On to other news- Tomorrow is the start of finals. I have one tomorrow, Friday, Tuesday and next Wednesday. Also, ROOMIE AND I SIGNED FOR OUR APARTMENT!! We are so excited to move in. I’m moving June 1st. So, basically I have been studying and dreaming of my apartment. Summer is FINALLY here. Almost. After next week…

I love rent…great writing, great show, great movie! Believe it or not I am a fan of Edgar Allen Poe. Usually us house wife types don’t admit to liking that kind of morbid stuff…but…if you don’t tell anyone I will also admit that I have a strange love of old cemetarys as well. And I love the Psalms..in the old testament. there is always something there for me no matter what kind of mood I am in or where my life is at any given moment. Good or bad there is a Psalm for that!
