the internet -- I don't mean to curse anything -- might be back to a little of its old speed. Gmail is still not up and facebook is laggish, but wikipedia is quick. And maybe it's just the facebook messaging that's slow.
ugh internet being down SUCKS especially during a lonely weekend when no friends respond to desperate "please spend time with me" texts. Last night I was so damn bored I went to sleep at 8pm (and woke at 11pm and then couldn't get back to sleep until 3am after i'd exhausted my entire 2-hour-long sleep songs playlist, which every other time knocks me out by the 1/3 mark) but it's over now. and michael says avi wants to move to the states.
as for all that, i'm fine. barely ever doubt. i just would have liked to see him make these changes rather than escape so he can start the same old life all over again. (Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's planning to start a new and changed life over there. But I'm going on what I know of him, which is that it'd be easier to pick up the same old, just with new friends. To put off growing up by relocating to somewhere new that doesn't yet expect him to grow up.)
What a reputation. I drive men out of the country. At least, one crazy messed-up one.
International House (an English school) called me back and scheduled an interview for Friday!
I went for a swim tonight. It was lovely. I then came home and ate a load of mashed potatoes and had tea while I read The Neverending Story. It was the chapter where Atreyu talks to the werewolf in Spook City, and I read through til Bastian takes his leave of Grograman, the Many-Colored Death. I never tire of this book.
edit: michael says Avi decided to "get on with it" over here rather than escape. It's good of him. A little mature.
