| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- changling memories Sifting through old entries, examining memories for a writing project and I had to laugh at this. VDW is still a VDW but I don't remember having a crush on him. I guess I did though and it's not that it's surprising, it's just that's not my memory of how it was way back in the mid-Aughts. Anyway, he's turned out to be even more distinguished--award-winning books and I think there's maybe a TV series based on one of those books coming out? His latest book is a brilliant examination of race through the lens of horror. But what I remember most is his kindness. He was intimidating sometimes but also friendly and down-to-earth and I still remember the way he reassured me that I would find my voice in writing and not to compare myself to others, etc. Lo, all these years later I still haven't published a book but I do feel a little closer toward the goal of getting there. Anyway, he's a stand-up guy and I'm still proud that I had him as a thesis adviser even if I don't exactly remember thinking he was sexy. Memories and time are so strange, aren't they? 8:42 pm - 30.01.20
