week 044

• walking around the lake with Tyler, fishing in the rain, the grey sky merging into the ground
• eating several bowls of spicy crockpot chili throughout the day, finishing up The Watchmen, then being driven home in a storm
• reading Game of Thrones curled up in bed, the fan humming noisily, wind howling outside
• hanging out with my sister, doodling Angry Birds with my nephew on my lap as he impatiently demanded more birds
• letting myself drift into a nap, waking up to help Tyler make kung pao chicken
• holding on to my love, fiercely making out, feeling reassured and wild and intense, planning an escape - separate whiskeys
• "there's a gulf between..."
• letting myself drift into the subconscious, envisioning violets and limes, plumeria, a disease (exile is a lonely hell), a bridge across the gulf, shooting stars, and a girl to kiss it and make it better.
• "I'm kicked out."
• getting out of work, overcast sky, The Mars Volta all the way home with my windows and sunroof open - "I've got a sneaking suspicion it ain't over..."
• helping Tyler move all of our food and dishes out of his sister's house
• going canoeing with Tyler at night, catching 4 snook, taking pictures, getting water splashed in my eyes by one
• garage sale hunting, then checking out our future apartment together
• going shopping for the apartment, buying gorgeous flatware, and sadly realizing that I need to get the hell out of this town
