Nice Fabric Choices

Dear Allison,

You are the one reason I wish I would have worked more on my Kowerk project. It would have been wonderful to see what you could have done with the space. The ideas you had, and the amount of effort you put into your ideas actually made me rethink if I was professional enough to move forward on the project, which I assure you is a good thing.

When I first met you in class you were a fairly unassuming character. You were stationed at a table of ladies that more or less embodied all I dislike in college, but you stuck out by not sticking out. I remember your mask project in that class was something else. That class aside, seeing you in the hallway of one of my other classes in Kohrman was a highlight of my day. I was always kind of panicked about it. I felt like maybe I was breaching some form of college protocol; just because I talked to you in one class does not mean I am permitted to engage you in a hallway setting. In any case you were nice to me, though I suspected for a majority of the time you did not know my name.

That is kind of how college goes anyways, we need not know each other’s name, “guy from 2d” or “chic from arthistory” suffice in most cases. It is kind of weird to me seeing you on fb and in person, versus what I saw in school. In school you always seemed so polished and proper. For lack of a better term rather preppy. But in person you are a rather organic type of person, quick with a smile and kind. The kind of person you would want to see if you were having a bad day, or maybe hurt yourself somehow. I think this is one of the cases where Facebook was a benefit to me. Were it not for facebook I am fairly sure I would have known very little else about you, or would have never contacted you again outside of school.

Colorado seems like a state made for you. I remember talking to you about places you would like to be, and that place really does have you covered. It’s weird, of all the folks I have known that have gone out there, you seem like the person who could be from there. Open spaces, mountains, nature, beauty…yup that’s you alright.

In anycase, while I will not be seeing you around anymore, I will most definitely be shooting you the occasional email just to see what’s doin. I venture I will want to visit Colorado one day, and if I do I will put you on notice as one of the legs of my tour. I will certainly miss your news feed updates, but I assume at somepoint you will have a website, so I guess I will just have to wait.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
