Okay, so it's 7:30. And I've been in school since 6:30 because I had to come in early to work on some stuff and that's the latest my dad can drop me off on the way to school.
Quick personal weekend update.
Saturday I worked from 4-8 with Nicole which was cool, then I stayed up all night and had to go back to work at 10:30 on shift with Barbara until 3 when we closed. Then I went straight to Jessica's house for Emma's third birthday party. She was such a little princess, there were like 15+ kids there under the age of 7, all screaming and/or running around like chickens with their heads cut off or some sort of decapitated poultry.
It was nice because I got to see Jessica's cousin Christopher who's back from Maine. He's been back for a while but this is the first time I've seen him. It's funny because I had a crush on him when I was like five. I don't even know how many years older than me he is-- but it's a lot (10-15). Needless to say I've grown out of that crush but it was good to see him because it reminded me of when crushes were a lot less complicated and no one ever cried about a boy unless they pushed them down on the playground (and even then it meant that he liked you). I miss things being less complicated.
I think remembering that makes being at school right now kind of hard. It's like, right now it's pretty quiet. Occasionally a teacher comes out of the elevator to go to one of the offices on the third floor. In about twenty minutes it's going to be more noise, probably some laughing, some jokes, maybe some hurt feelings. In less than a month it's going to be nothing but memories and yearbook signatures and maybe a few summer get togethers that will no doubt get us in trouble.
Even that's complicated. The idea of four years of love and angst turning into memories and maybe even life lessons. How does something like that happen? It's seems to happen so quickly but the process, the idea of time just washing so much away is difficult to wrap my mind around.
More importantly (and along the lines of challenging that theory). Yesterday I started talking to Katie again. I think we both know we've changed a lot, but it means a lot to me that we started talking again and we're working on getting back to being something like the best friends we were. It's excellent. Yesterday was her birthday. I figured that needed some recognition. She's a most excellent 18.
Finally before I go, I posted ten new icons on my community, bttrflygraphics. There are 10 of Adrian Pasdar as Nathan on Heroes, some of them with Milo Ventimiglia too (mostly from the episode "Six Months Ago"). There are also two new banners featuring Future!Claire from the episode "Five Years Gone". Weird. I just noticed I chose episodes with titles dealing with time--the very concept that escapes my understanding. I hope you check them out and enjoy them.
Until then. Much love.
