002 - What is your favorite time of day? Why?
[mood|
thoughtful]
I would have to say that my favorite time of day is bathtime. I've always liked taking a bath, ever since I was small. I used to soak in the tub and make up stories about mermaids and princesses and handsome princes. I can barely fit in the tub now, but I don't notice any discomfort. Bathtime is the one time of day where I can relax and release, though temporarily, whatever feelings I've got built up inside of me. It's the one time of day I don't have to think about my father leaving again, or his alcohol problem, or him possibly getting fired from his night watchman job at Havis department store or even my mother and her sad attempts to bring us closer together. And, I don't have to think about perfect Theresa and her husband Jonathan who now live in a trailer in our backyard.
Bathtime is special because I have it all to myself. I can sink down into the milky warm water and not have a care in the world. Lately, Peter has been what I've been thinking about in the bath. After all this time, he might finally be returning my feelings. Peter is the one person who I feel like I can completely be myself around. He understands me. We've been friends since we were kids and I've had a crush on him forever. I'm hoping that he'll again call soon.
