i picked up a copy of Stranger in a Strange Land three days ago. but this isnt any normal copy, oh no. i managed to secure for myself "the original uncut version of the bestselling classic." meaning, it is 220 thousand words long, as opposed to 160 thousand. go figure.
in a little more than 80 hours, we will be required to report to high school east and resume our formal public education. this thought fills me with dread- i feel like my summer has just started.
and to top it off, we have to do college applications.
i sit here and wonder where all the time has gone this summer. what started out as a beautiful and neverending river of peace flew by at hypersonic speed and left me feeling dazed and exhausted. where has all my lost time gone? ...right over a fucking dirt ledge, or into a set of steps. thats where it fucking went to.
