some of my roommate’s friends visited this week and it was fun having them over. they checked the weather back home before they left, and it said it might snow there. i can hardly believe that, because i think it’s in the low 80’s here today and if i’m not headed for the beach tomorrow then i’ll be a holy hypocrite. spring fever comes on hard when it gets so beautiful so early in the year, and the beach is calling, beckoning, tugging at my soul. yesterday was gorgeous too but i had to settle for reading in the park for a few hours between classes. it was still lovely.

i don’t know what more i can possibly do than read a book on a park bench on a sunny afternoon with my skateboard leaning against the armrest next to me though, and still not get picked up by hoardes of adorable english majors. it just doesn’t add up.

got some parties lined up this for weekend, got a new book underway, got five weeks left of school. things are pretty much excellent.

the only thorn is the same old problem as always, which i am ever attempting to steel myself against. i don’t understand how i can love, hate, be consumed by and want nothing to with something all at once, but as soon as i figure that out i figure i’ll be golden. and i’m sure that’ll be any time now.

[now hearing this: one of my coworkers has that ozzy song where it starts, “has he lost his mind….” as her cell phone ring, which i think is awesome even though i don’t know the name of that song.]
