i am scared and i am happy. i am nineteen now and i still feel nine. i still wish i were a jane austen heroine. i still cannot determine what i have done to deserve these kind words they keep saying to me (i won't put them here, i don't want to be conceited, but oh they floor me with their kindness). i am scared i am going to ruin this horribly and i am shamed by the tangled words that got caught in my mouth, but i am brimming with joy over running in the sunlight, these warm afternoons. i have made my decision at last, now i'm just working up the courage to say it out loud. i am myself, half full of such good things and half full of such anxieties; but as long as i do not have another anxiety attack before this semester is over, i will call it a success.
someday soon i will have more specific words. this afternoon i am going to see a performance of javanese masked dance, and tonight i will watch more pride and prejudice with the gwendolyn to my cecily, and maybe i will get a back rub (and oh that would be lovely, my back is all boyscout-knots). today i wrote four full pages in my paper journal (it's a standard spiral school notebook, so four pages is long). remind me to tell you more about my paper journal and how appropriate its title has been as of late.
remind me to give you details and specifics, i am so vague these days. (and look at me abuse grammar, look at all these comma splices! if it weren't for the excuse of stream-of-consciousness i would have to commit english student seppuku for all these grammatical errors!) good day, good day, (or rather good afternoon*), i am off.
i don't know the official rules for greetings, these are just my own, established on the basis of how i personally understand the hours of the day to be broken into morning/afternoon/evening.
. good morning
this is the greeting anytime from when you arise in the morning (or dawn) until noon.
. good day
the greeting to be used in the noon hour.
. good afternoon
the greeting from one o'clock through the five o'clock hour.
. good evening
this greeting is to be used from six o'clock P.M. through the eight o'clock hour.
. good night
to be used any time after the clock strikes nine.
