Dark countryside and fireflies
Have I even written anything since I've been back in Austin? For some reason, I just haven't felt like it. I've been gripped by feelings of needing to take a break, and so I have been on the computer as little as possible. I feel overwhelmed by feelings of transience, impermanence, change, ambience, lasting impressions, summer nights, wildflower fields and woods at night, fireflies, walking on grass barefoot, eating popsicles with friends, making mistakes, being happy with every stupid decision I make. This is going to be a summer that is remembered. This is really the transition summer, I think, between what was and whatever is going to be.
Here is a brief overview of what I've done while I've been in Austin:
had quality time with friends
had some good parties
snuggled in a bed with Bernie, Sireesha, and Eileen
been on the radio
come back from the radio station to find my roommates still awake
staying up having girl talk until 6am
watching trashy reality tv
playing 'Soul Caliber II' on the x-box that our sub-leasers left us
watching the movie 'Knocked Up'
doing SO much Arabic (and not really minding)
reading books
just going with it and enjoying myself
Right now, I'm reading a book that Alex loaned me. It's by John Irving, and it's called 'A Widow For One Year'. It's creepy and funny and sad, but all it's making me think of is summer nights in a house by the countryside, crickets, running around outside at night in fields and woods, snuggling, taking the best people have to offer, and forgiving their mistakes. I don't know. Claire is in Oklahoma right now. It's like this summer everyone is where they normally aren't. At least I got to see Dasha, and see Emily for a bit. There's always SSC, and the future. Who knows what'll happen in the future?
In the immediate future, I'm going to go drink some water, because I'm getting a headache. Ma'asalaama, wa saif sa'aid!
