i'm trying to decide between two choices for spending my cs4 ship bonus:
1) purchasing a rug for the living room and bamboo to construct a coffee table
2) purchasing climbing gear and a membership to stone gardens
so, it's either doing something to make my at home times nicer or doing something to make my away from home times nicer. at least i don't have to worry about procrastinating too long and frivolously wasting it all on subsequent nights of limited grandeur at the local watering holes and restaurants. i'm really glad i kicked my habitual drinking and started frequenting the farmer's market.
hmmm... the farmer's market. that means i'm in ballard on a weekly basis anyway. chalk one mark in favor of the climbing gym.
i got a letter from this girl that gets me all nervous and excited (in a very good way). it was just one sentence long. all she said was that she sometimes wished we lived closer together so that we could hold hands. i think i read that same sentence over and over at least 12 times throughout the evening (last night). it was even more remarkable that i had expressed a similar interest in her hands a few days before the letter even arrived.
jupiter, venus, and the moon are crowding toward each other in the night sky. it seems fortuitous that celestial bodies millions of miles away from each other are aligning at the same time that two people several hundred miles away are also having their thoughts converge in a similar fashion.
...
it's not that i'm really into hand holding. it's not a fetish or anything creepy. it's just looking forward to enjoying that phase of a relationship - should any relationship actually develop, and really friendship is a form of a relationship, so i guess i can use that word without jumping any guns. just the idea that something so simple will be so incredibly enjoyable when (if) it arrives.
i'm a terribly misanthropic person at times, but with certain people i really enjoy the meeting and getting to know them phases. people like that are summers in the northwest. they make the rest of the time worth the wait.
