Lately I've been having a breakthrough, like a gargantuan who suddenly stands, his bulbous head emerging with ferocious power and energy into the cold, clear night sky from within the clouds.
This weekend my parents went...somewhere. Oh yes, they went to Quadra Island. My sister and I got to stay in the big echo chamber that they had just rented. It was edgy, it was fun. Like a coming of age soap opera where there are no parents around and the series always forgets to explain it or says 'the parents are away on business trips'. Devlin came over on Sunday night and we made pasta, followed the eerie jingling tunes of Christian music in Beacon Hill, and danced like wraiths through the large wooden halls. Well, maybe he didn't dance, and 'like a wraith' is just how I move, so scratch the last one out.
In the middle of the night Alicia Yeend Brown came over and God knows why, but I suddenly thought she'd brought this big dog with her. I heard the front door open, then watched as a frown formed on my younger sister's face as she shook her finger in reprimanded and said, 'NO.' in an unwavering and firm voice. Then I heard chains and before you knew it I had leapt onto the back of the couch, legs drawn up. It was reflexes, which is strange because I like dogs! I jive with them, you know? But, no, it was just Alicia chainless and muttless, striding through the door with only a song in her heart and a penny in hand.
I am leaving my job at the end of summer and I haven't told my boss yet. I haven't spent money for so long and yesterday I opened the floodgates! Actually that may be a bit of an overstatement, although I bought my mom a big box of chocolates on whim today.
I'm reading a terribly large amount of books, and starting to learn, I mean really learn, how to cook. I've got a plan, I've got tons of ideas and now I have a sugar screen play that I'm going to film soon.
ETC.
