Back in Palo Alto
It's night time. I was just sitting out on the back stoop waiting for tipper to come in. The air was cold, but it didn't touch that way on my skin - the only notice I had of it was that my breath made little tufts of steam when I let it go. It was the only thing that appeared in my darkened field of view. I suppose there was a lawn and a garden and my cat somewhere all out there beyond my warm breath but I couldn't see it and I really didn't care. I like the weather here.
On to current events: I not only have the aforementioned job in Berkeley, but also managed to talk my way into working for Jean-Francios Revon. he's a very popular set designer in the Bay Area, lots of contracts. He has six shows in production at this moment. I asked if he needed an assistant for the summer. He said he would be glad to use me. Funny - I can remember working with him on his sets when I was 14 or so. I turn 21 in a day ot two. It's been a really long time, or it seems like it has.
The one problem I have now is that I might not have a place to live in Berkeley. The student run co-op said that they might not be able to house me. That really sucks. I really enjoyed living with people my age last summer in Georgia when I was with Habitat. We'd all just sit out on the porch at night and talk about everything. I really miss having people my age around me. I tried calling Sean but he's not home yet. Aside from him I pretty much gave up. Back to berkeley - if I can't get housing then I guess I'll just stay here in Palo Alto, work at the theater and act in Wingspread. Shouldn't be that bad - I've done it before and they're only doing 3 or 4 shows. That's a hell of a lot less than they used to do for a summer run. But, still, even though it is relaxing here, it's also boring. I really do miss being around people my age. It's a lot of fun.
I guess you can really only miss things when they're not around. I should just treat it like my back yard: I know that there was a lawn and a garden and a cat out there, i just didn't care. I just focused on what I could see, not what I couldn't. It was less frustrating, more calming. Summer.
