i remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets with the beads
The boys made me laugh today, a lot. None of us wanted to be there, so we bonded in solidarity.
I'm tired. I couldn't sleep last night; my mind was full of thoughts that wouldn't stick. So now I've had five glasses of diet coke today and I'll likely be just as restless tonight.
It's a vicious cycle.
Greece. I've been thinking about Greece. Wherever I go, if I go anywhere, I think I'd rather go at the end of spring semester, instead of spring break - that way, I can stay longer. Make it worth the air fare.
And Greece, yes. Nepal can wait. Greece has all sorts of significance for me, and I can't think of any better place to visit. (I was looking through my five-year-old copy of Discover Greece and knew I had to go. The ruins, the blue skies, the gleaming, crystal-clear waters, the white-washed buildings in the seaside villages set beside piles of brilliant red flowers - Greece. Yes. Greece.)
Now I need only to figure out how to afford it. And find out who will go with me. Yes, those are two essentials.
The air felt alive today, electric, the way air feels before a storm. Still humid, still warm, but with frequent cool breezes that make it somehow both warm and cold at the same time. It hasn't rained yet, though the sky looks heavy and as though it might at any moment. That's how it's looked all day. It's a Waiting Day.
It's a Good Day.
(Except for deerflies. The deerfly population has exploded suddenly and they will drive me to an early asylum. Deerflies, I think, must be what telemarketers are reborn as.)
And I want, very much, to buy cds. It's terrible, it's overwhelming, the amazon.com "buy" button is so very easy to push...

The highest percentage DEET spray you can get is, I think, "Off! Deep Woods". Look for it in hardware stores if you're about.
