We're off to see the Mickey
So tomorrow I'll be heading off to Disneyworld for 12 days with my parents and Julia. Mmyeah vacation. ^_^ I'm really going to miss all of you guys. If you're feeling the pangs of loneliness, you can call my cell phone. I've got extra minutes on weekends and after 9pm, just so you know. Also, if you'd like me to write you a postcard just let me know and give me your address if I don't already have it. I'll probably be a nerd and try to find an internet cafe while I'm there.
I'll leave off with something I wrote in math class a month ago about berries. Read it at your own risk if you don't want to see me personifying fruit.
I took raspberries to school today in a little plastic bag. You would think that I would have had enough sense not do that, or at least to put them in a sturdy container. But no, I’m obviously a closet raspberry killer at the core.
When I opened up my bag to find a squished bleeding mass of ruined fruit, something tugged inside of me. I had wasted perfectly good delicious and nutritious berries. This morning when I packed them, I had hoped to be their savior. My mom had told me that they would go bad very quickly. When I peeked in the Tupperware, I spotted one berry covered in white fuzz. I was too late for him, but I could still save the rest of them from the same fungus-filled fate. They would be glad and thank me for rescuing them from that particular demise by gifting me with their juicy goodness. But alas, this was not to be.
I would not have something sweet and tart to complement my grilled veggie sandwich. They would not live to succumb to the honorable death that they deserved. They were gone and nothing I could do would give them back their beautifully ripened fullness. When I discovered their massacre, I fleetingly wished that I knew how to make jam, if only to preserve their existence for only a little bit longer. I had no sugar, no way to boil them. I was in math class and their future was sealed in a Ziploc.
I haven’t thrown them in the garbage yet. I don’t know if I can bear it. I do know however, that I will have to let them go eventually. Just not yet.
Author’s note- When I got home I stuck them in my freezer. I haven’t looked at them since.
Hah. Much love to all of you guys! <3
P.S. I'm going to see Jet while I'm in Florida! =D
