hello, old friend. 9:24 PM

So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I've got no one to send a letter to;
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
----


this morning I woke up to the sound of rain blankets-- soft, sibilant, shh.

so I roll over, reaching for the radio, and flick the switch on; and John Denver fills the room and for a moment I close my eyes and think of words like: blue mountains, coyotes, wilderness, Cheyenne.
yes so I confess: yesterday I rummaged through dad's old CD pile in my pjs, pulling out old forgotten friends like Enya's Amarantine and Shakespeare In Love, and trying out the recommended John Denver. His songs're all pretty nice but I must've played Take Me Home, Country Roads about twelve times in a row. I've loved that song ever since I was little, and I suppose it'll always be my favourite country song.

pulled on a shawl and went outside with a mug of piping hot Brazilian coffee; and just sat there on the porch for a while-- watching, listening, thinking with the rain. I love weather like the kind we had today. then I flipped open my diary for a morning read and started laughing at the grouchy entry I'd been too sleepy to remember writing; from two am this morning.

an excerpt:
"ugh neighbours/loud pulsating music/sporadic (loud, loud) cheering.
it's two in the morning, hello. there're people trying to sleep at two in the morning. specifically me.
I know it's the last night of summer and all-- but if you wanted to catch up on summer, you should've done that- what, two weeks ago?
so maybe your summer sucked. please understand that it won't get any better no matter how loud you turn the music up.

please, please go to sleep.
may you all wake up grouchier than I am now.
avada kedavra. whatever. "

...wow I was grumpy, huh? and the weird thing is: I don't even remember getting up to write that.

okay, so moving on.
went to church and I love my Manda and Deb and the weekly drama rag.
we only see each other once a week but we hang tight. <3>
and hun; don't worry your pretty little head about it. If he wants t'go and rebound on some loser-- well then, in all entirety: it's his loss.
fyi Manda is s-l-o-w. thirty minutes late, sugar; thirty minutes late! :D

is on verawangprincess now doing fun things like the online princess quiz.
according to the vera wang quiz,

"you're an IT Princess.
At the party the IT princess met a famous photographer who asked her to be his assistant and travel the world. During an exotic photo shoot at a mysterious ruin she discovered a rare heart shaped diamond. Her find made front-page news, was displayed at the Museum of Amazing Things and a charming newspaper reporter fell madly in love with her. After being on the cover of the newspaper, a Hollywood agent asked her to audition for a movie and she became a movie star and was always surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful things."

how cute.
and the IT princess lived happily ever after.


on a more serious note.

summer's come to an end.
oh well. it was good while it lasted.
and life's only just beginning to get good; so strap yourselves in-- we're in for a ride.




so long, sweet summer.
see you next year.
