I want a companion to go to a coffee shop with me on this brisk California morning where we'd have a cupcake and wrap our cold hands around a hot mug.
Sadly, there is no one.
Went to dinner tonight at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine and had an lovely time. The food was delicious! Driving to LA can be annoying, but the GPS really helped, especially when I made the wrong turns or exits. The female voice for the GPS would say "recalculating" which is probably about the best thing when I don't know where I'm going and it tells me how to get back to the freeway without me having to do anything at all. Sweet. :)
I found some disposable cameras when I was looking for my mother's camera the other day and I was thinking about how cool it would be just to grab them and take random photos to get developed. I haven't developed regular photos in so long that it seems novel to do so at this point. Also, there's no screen to worry about cracking within the first week of ownership :P
I'm tired and missing some things about life in Minnesota. Hi, friends in MN who are reading this. I probably miss you! :) Unless you are tallboything or mister teehee teehee, at which point I don't miss you at all, pfff.
i'm tired of talking about the people and things that i miss. aren't you tired of it? i wish the sad feelings would just go away.
What food or drink do you love when it's cold out? (Recipes and recommendations, please!)
hot cup of coffee with something sweet, like apple crumble right out of the oven. mmm.
i really wish i could get more of the seasons here in ca. :(
(just missing today.)
the atlantic was born today, and i'll tell you how:
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
i was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
when the water filled every hole.
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.
most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
i thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing floodlands to your door
have been silenced forever more.
the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
it seems father than ever before
oh no.
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
so come on, come on...
(tears in the back of my throat.)
i'm starting to settle in here in so. california, making my way along the roads that used to be lined by row upon row of corn fields (how do they keep people from stealing corn? couldn't they just walk in from the street and pick some? i would ask my father); now, instead of corn fields, there are stores for shopping to fulfill every kind of desire one may have. and perhaps some that you wouldn't have thought of, but now you do because it's just there.
as things start to fall into place, and i have my grubby little hands on my iKitty 2.0 (thank you *so* much everyone, especially BFJ! heart heart), i have more time to think about the life i left behind in MN. the people i don't get to see everyday (or as often as i can hunt them down in some cases, haha!), the places i don't get to be/the things i don't get to do with them. it makes me so sad. (i'm crying now.)
i know that this is the way of things; that life moves along and change is all a part of it, but maybe this is a sign that i was not ready for this. for the goodbyes. but what is, is. i guess what i'm saying is that if you (whoever is reading this) thinks that i've forgotten now that i'm far away, that's not the case. at all. i miss you all more than you could ever know.
