I was joking when I said something about how I could live in a Dog House that would be kept in a corner of the architects' studio. That all I deserved was a dog house. That it was appropriate for so many reasons. And that even THAT was preferable to an hour in the presence of my artist-classmates. That it was a recluse and a jail. That it was a home for a bitch. That it was subhuman. That I had built it. That I had put up my own walls. That it was the most comforting feeling to sit inside that space that was just the right height to let me stand in the center and just enough room for me to rest in the fetal position but not very comfortable to sleep in. That it was MY space. That putting up those walls and drowning out their noise made everything easier to bear and nothing hurt me anymore. That I know that I was lonely and that it was all my fault. And I love it. I don't want to take it apart and I have nowhere to put it. MY dog house.
I hardly use this (as jimmy quotes) "highschool" thing, but that's really great. Dunno if the "this" in "i love this more than anything" refers to the house or to your writing, but i think the poem's great and - in architecture speak - stands for itself apart from the work (which should speak for itself). maybe it would've been nice if you had painted/wrote the description on the house.
Sucks you didn't save it...did you photograph the shit out of it cuz i think it should be in ur portfolio.
This is definitely a fav. but it means so much more than the other crap that I faved on this "hs thing". ... and call/email me sometime. biatch.
Haha, yea it's those moments of clarity that got me A's on Weir's essays. I guess I love the house and the description as separate things. And it is too bad I don't get to keep it or the drawing inside that I thought was amazing, as is all of my work of course. I've fav'd frivoulously too and you can, but I hope you don't, go and look through my earlier things because that shit's REAAAALLLLYYY highschool and I'd prefer if you didn't know my true nature. And I will be call/emailing you soon. I really hope you have a great summer, biiitch.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Do humans really need to know that?
Look at how far they've come without knowing.
