When you're gone, all the colors seem to fade
Had a really fun, sunny weekend. Finally saw the Double D. I don't know what all the bad talk was about-I love bars, strip clubs, and churches....well I do...no, it's really serene and pretty by the water. Especially Age's house. You can tell everything is lived in, well-loved, and of course, handmade. I enjoyed that thoroughly. Rock on electicism. Have yet to start work. Waiting for them to call me back, those bitches. I'm trying to keep busy and be productive...but there is only so much to do and so many people to see in the good ole Airy of Mt. Today was the first in a while where I've longed to be back overseas. Physically and emotionally. I love having everyone here, so near it seems now, but I miss how much there is to do there....at any hour, day or night. That's city life though; exciting, cultured, never calm, always changing and breathing and bustling. It's exhausting, but somehow worth it. Sometimes I imagine my later life amid the city lights. I casually cast myself into a warped daydream of how it will feel and taste and smell. And then I remember I have lived in a city already. I remember how hard, fantastic, and moving it was to turn twenty there. It helps having that under my belt so to speak. Gotta love a good belt. Anyways, I think I'm seeing Christina and Brian tonight. We're going over Brian's house, which should be interesting to say the least. Don't know what will happen. Sometimes I'm addicted to that feeling. So I'm told curiousity kills. Someone get me a knife. If all else fails, I know I can move to Dundalk. I have the hat and everything. Maybe I could even work at the poop plant. Talk about a perfect fit. I'm gonna go read more of Nick's book...Disgrace. It's soooo good and pretty sad. Perhaps the Noble Prize signifies something. You know, I can take disturbing if it's captivating. I think that should be a motto. I think what I like most is his notes on the pages. His handwriting reminds me of everything. I kind of feel guilty for neglecting my other books: Harry Potter, Mary HC, and this new one I'm seriously in love with: The Time Traveler's Wife. So many books, so little time. Big libraries depress me for this reason. I see they're making Pride and Prejudice. Really want to go see it. Ba bam! To me, a completely loveable and timeless phrase. You just watch. It'll catch on. Like the locomotion. Muah, Jae
