I finally read at an Empire poetry reading. Three pieces, spaced out to give me time to jot them down in Sara's notebook. I was pretty nervous, and it probably showed. But I felt good about it. Reading poetry feels good. Poetry feels good.
I've decided something. This year, even though I'm working and dancing and schooling, I'm going to work on playing guitar again. I have one of my own, but I think I'm just going to take Dan's and use that. He has no interest in it anymore, so he won't mind. It needs strings and I want to get the scratches out of it if I can. Maybe I'll feel less listless if I can just jam instead of sitting around during my free time.
Last night I fell asleep on the couch and my dad didn't have the heart to wake me up and make me go to bed, so I woke up in my sunny living room with the curtains and windows open like my dad left them when he went to work. That was excellent.
Everyone should go look at the sky tonight. Once again, it's phenomenal.
