so. driving home from a parent's friend's house we passed this fire up near lake forest. near where the toll road runs into these hills near irvine, absolutely crazy. we could see the flames from several miles away, smoke just billowing up into the sky, blotted out the stars and everything. we were upwind, so no ashes. couldn't even smell it. but it was beautiful, awesome, striking.
I've never seen a brushfire in person before, off a screen. it was worth driving near. it was worth seeing. hopefully I won't see one this close to home again, though.
I've been feeling rather under the weather lately. they're fucking working me to the bone at work. they piled thirty hours on me for this week and last, and I have another thirty-two coming up next week. fuck. I wrote rich a note to knock my hours down. this isn't working.
and on top of it, jacob and I are going through some- if not "tough"- just weird taxing emotional times so I've been sort of sad.
meh.
I'm still floating around not really attached to any friends I have. it's a weird feeling. there's pretty much jacob and aaron that I can really relate to and would regret not being friends with anymore, and that's about it. everone else seems so... surface-based. several I'd like to leave behind completely.
but whatever. I'm just going to let everything play itself out.
