if i had any sense

(It's not uncertainty, just shock at the certainty; not indecision, but I'm aghast that I've decided. Since when am I moved so quickly and rashly to life-shaking states? Oh fuck. Since always.)

Tonight, in view of the fact that we don't often have the opportunity to wear skanky dresses, some hottt girls and I will wear skanky dresses. Out of the house! Good god. I barelyever drink anymore, so the red wine part of the night should be interesting. Or, you know, humiliating. Either way, skin will be covered with stars tonight.

I've been in such limbo, constantly waiting for midnight, for voices, for 14 (13, 12, and now 11) days to pass so that I can see things up-close, start a new month the way I wish I could start every day. Presence, contact, touch, ache. OH. Every time I think about it, a spot on the back of my right heel gets so hot and burny that it hurts. There's nothing visibly wrong, so I think my body's just being ironic, all Achilles-referencey. I'm hoping that all this - what can I call it? passion? - doesn't kill me.

haha.

Mostly, school is delightful, my apartment is delightful, my friends are delightful. I lay on Citadel Hill and took pictures (and had pictures taken) in the sunlight yesterday after school. I keep trying to quit enthusing so audibly, because I'm sure it gets tiring, but then the sun will be falling so perfectly on such a lovely freckly face that all plans of laid-backness get screwed and I'm goony again. I guess I should say 'dude' more, and maybe 'gnarly', and stop opening my eyes quite so wide.

Ooooh, tell me I'm not being foolish. Or that it's okay to be this foolish. Or that the best things I could possibly be are here, living, smiling, counting, hoping.

i guess i'd fear this
