I'm from Chicago! 
Thought I'd stop by. Saw your post on Vixen's journal.
I'm up to my ears in architecture right now. I have this term paper due in a matter of weeks. Who knew you could write so much on the key stones in England's churches between 1550 and 1600.

I used to have a profile, I swear. lol
I'm just a bit burned out. I'll be back in no time.
I wouldn't miss out on the tales of an architect. Did you model your user name after My Architect. He mentored my father throughout college and then into his current job...

gotta work the weekend, well...I didnt actually get in to work today...I mean I thought about working...I even drove by the office. I will work tomorrow.
The HipCat is sick. The HipCat is 20 pounds of Maine Coon fluffy hipness. He has asthma pretty bad, and now he has a cold. The HipCat loves laying on the huge desk I roll my drawings...

Hey, man. I got to see a very trippy Bart Prince house under construction while I was in Texas over the Holidays.
BTW, my hobby of researching apprentices has landed me looking at John deKoven Hill & Eugene Masselink. Got any ideas other than Taliesin where to look?

Hi,
I'm off to Barcelona for the Forum this weekend, it should be fun checking out the new Herzog & de Meuron building, plus the usual dose of Gaudi to remind me that Modernism can be decorative and functional.
I'm interested in the Fountainhead book, but have extremely serious problems with Ayn Rands total nonesense pseudo-philosophy, is it enjoyable just as a novel, without the Objectivist progaganda? :

OMG i AM NOTICING A PATTERN HERE WITH JOURNAL POSTINGS, LOL! where ya been, man?
oh shit, sorry abt those capital letters n shit.
OMG I almost choked on my own throat readin that bit abt smokers ... I mean, Im a smoker I guess, but Im seriously in hard core progress tryin to quit. Im down to like, maybe one ... 2 a day tops. From abt 2 packs a day, Id say Im doing pretty darn good. I want to quit pretty badly , so I think the mere fact that I want it so badly will play a factor in quitting. I refuse to eat my butts if I cant do it tho ... eeew. But I promise never to smoke in front of you,ok??

Time to simplify!

Oh, man...you have the Heritage Henredon stuff? I seethe with jealousy!
What are you going to be selling off?

Seems as though I offended someone again for having my own opinion, and for actually sharing it. For having a mind of my own, and perhaps alienating people who dont fit into my scheme of things, I am now an "assfaced, no talent, pompous asshole".
Geez, and these people have never even met me. Its a weird little world we live in.

HAHAHAHAH, omg ... I have heard that very same insult before! Maybe they got it from a movie because it sounds awfully familiar. Listen man, I offend someone with EACH journal entry I make. It doesnt matter if I say something along the lines of "kittens are cute", it will piss someone off. Its just the way the site works, and although I feel badly abt it when it happens, I just have to ignore it now because it happens so often that I cant keep up! And just out of curiosity ... did this insult happen on the boards, groups, or in someones actual JOURNAL?
I do realize that cheese and wine have nothing to do with sexuality, hun ... it was just me being the jokester that I am! Im really a very silly girl at times, as you may have noticed

Well, today is my birthday......lahh deee fricken dah!

your comment in reinharts journal i take as an ignorant shot - thats the problem between the two professions - architects think interiors people can only pick finishes and furniture - look at my portfolio
not one single project had an "architect" involved. we are in this together to promote OUR practice - to make people aware of the value we provide, be it architecture or interior architects/designers.
yes yourarchitect there are interior designers that shop, but they still design in their own way and add value to what we both do and that is what makes the masses aware that design is important to everyday life and it only benefits us all.
and happy birthday.

you totally missed the point YA - i clearly did not say architecture itself must be for the masses - organic, integral composition - whatever - there are a million different views on what it should be by a million different designers.
im talking about the practice - the profession - how we stay in business, how we get paid what we are worth, how we promote good design etc.
"there is a need for interiors people" well i am so glad you have validated my profession for me.
in my world i am no better then the marketing person that helped get the job, the cad person that sets up the drawings and does all the nuts and bolts work or the accounting person that helps me keep my project on budget
in the end its a job - just like everybody else has and your elitest attitude that makes you think you are better than interior designers or decoraters really surprises me coming from someone with as much experience and supposed love for the proffession.
i guess we must agree to disagree - good luck to you
