We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided.
Cool day... I went out with Tolkien club for break and my advisee group ordered in for lunch and we got to see what there is of the slideshow (ie: not much). Cat and I went to the baseball game, and I really actualy enjoy the sport. It's like a lot of my social life, where I go to hang out with the people who are going and actualy start to enjoy the event too. I wish we'd started going sooner in the season; Cat and I plan to go to all the home games next year. I think I'm going to start watching pro games with my parents again... But there was the Big Fuss when AJ slid into the other team's third base player and BROKE HIS FEMUR. Crazy stuff man, with an ambulance and everything! Then I went and saw the art show and then I took a nap read Che at Mimi's. Fun day, even if the female members of my family (all three generations!) are pissing me off. Ellen's her... normal self, which isn't all that bad, just rude and annoying at times; my mom is sure I'm dating someone in secret and not telling her, and my grandmother thinks I'm depressed. GRARGH! But w/e, I guess...
Lucinda Williams - 'Side of the Road'
You wait in the car on the side of the road
Lemme go and stand awhile, I wanna know you're there but I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
I walked out in a field, the grass was high, it brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space and a farmhouse out a ways
And I wondered about the people who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife?
Did she love him and take her hair down at night?
If I stray away too far from you, don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I won't come back and
stay beside you
It only means I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I used to always go
