in regards to my title, you can't beat good old tony stark :)
new blog for the new year, i think i'm going for here. but i think i'm going to start off this first entry by talking about a video i just saw. it's like twelve minutes long and stars robert downey jr., directed by stephen frears, so i guess it could be considered a short film. it was really thought-provoking, though; it managed to fit a lot into a short amount of time. it's about robert's character trying to find "confidence," and covers his journey of doing so. it's interesting stuff, so i figured i'd share it here. maybe someone will see it and be as impressed by it as i was :)

on another note, i have no voice. i lost it yesterday, and it really kind of sucks. especially because i want to hang out with caitlin so badly but i can't call her because i can't talk, and she hasn't been on facebook in an eternity. i'm going over julie's tomorrow, though, we're gonna make pasta, yearbook shirts :D, and watch ferris bueller's day off! so that'll be fun. the two of them are two of my best friends.

and i've also realized just how much i want to get into emerson. that, in a nutshell, is my absolute dream school. there's nothing bad about it--nice people, right in the middle of boston, an arts/writing/media dedication that's through the roof, oh my god, it's so perfect. it would mean so much to me if i got accepted there, fingers crossed that i will. julie already got accepted early action, and my friends molly and adam are already there. it would be SO AMAZING.
