old friends and sunshine
this weekend i hung out with a guy i've only seen in person once, about 6 years ago. we stopped talking as often when i left (didn't that happen with everyone?) and we haven't chatted often even since i've come back. he was in town for the weekend and we went to a bad show and shouted at each other for a little while. it was almost like we hung out yesterday instead of 6 years ago. i told him k left on the phone and he sounded truly heartbroken (which is more than i can say for the man who left). some kind of majic. and he remembered all these things that had flown from my memory, our little jokes and whatever, right down to a spot-on impression of something funny i said on that past visit. i swear it was like he turned into me for a second, it was uncanny (and i hadn't even recalled saying it, but i knew it must have been because it was so exactly like me). if he remembered all that so cleraly, i must have made some kind of impression on the guy. was kind of good for my ego.
then sunday, i went to the arizona museum for youth to get a good look at the jim henson exhibit. went with a middle school buddy who recently discovered me on myspace, and her kids. her smile is sunshine, and she brought a big tin full of all the boredom notes i wrote her in school, complete with our secret language and everything. had fun being goofy making storyboards with her daughter and laughing at muppet commercials with her son. hope i see them again soon.
then, since it was no nice and i had the afternoon free, i went for a stroll through downtown mesa. which, ironically, i'd never done before. it's mighty charming! even the taco bell was gorgeous. sun shining, fresh air, a brisk walk . . . the perfect end to a primarily fantastic weekend.
i took photos.
love the scars on this tree. but you can't really see the lovely green color of its branches.
these flowers smelled as amazing as they looked!
strangely, took none of my old pals. guess it says something about me: i'm usually way too caught up in the moment to take photos of fun timeswith friends, but when i'm alone and see something beautiful, i feel compelled to attempt to capture it.
also, i quit my restaurant job, it was getting crappy, with the screaming at me and all. have an interview in the morning for summer camp with girl scouts. wish me luck!
