  • mom: how did i know it would come to you obsessing over men from the 1930s

moments

• hours spent at the cafe, nursing an iced oat milk latte, poring over the love song of j. alfred prufrock, scribbling in purple ink (purple for the hyacinths.... "i'm sorry! please forgive me...") in my book and in my notes, incoherent to all but this fixated mind
• getting curated for the 1st time on medium!!! ✰
• dana voice y'all mind if i download entire martin sheen tv movies onto my computer in the middle of this public space?
• when dean said "[1917] is still the most beautifulest script i've ever read"..... we love an eloquent man with taste
• making clementine marmalade!! sitting outside in the sunshine, peeling and slicing clems, sweet juice running down my wrists, looking up only to squint and smile at the latest visitor to the bird feeder
• spreading out the blanket on the grass and dozing... it is so warm out, i love spring!!! sometimes bringing some iced coffee along, lying on my tummy w my poetry and my trusty blue ballpoint in hand, scribbling notes to myself in the margins.... sleeping in the grass and thinking about sorley.... visiting the clumps of daffodils sprouting all over the estate, admiring the forsythia, doing everything i can not to climb the cherry tree in the front yard.... i feel like a kid again, running loose across the earth. i love spring!
• dancing around my room like john travolta from pulp fiction and knocking ten things off my desk in the process.... spencer from icarly voice i rocked too hard
• reading aloud whilst doing my welsh dialects course and from all the way across the room justie saying "you sound like you're putting a mf CURSE on me" BYE
