something about this just makes me feel old.
i've made more than a few enemies by commenting on how much i've been enjoying the great non-sun summer of 2009, how i have voted no on proposition sun and welcomed the rain and the thunder and the grey. the air conditioner is still in the basement. the windows are open and when the sun peeks though there is verdancy without heat, like we're cheating the season. i am fine with all of this, with holding off 80s and 90s, keeping it summer without keeping it hot. i know we're transitioning back into reasonable, seasonable temperatures, but it's been a fine ride.
especially the fine ride i took in the evening of yesterday, so as to enjoy one more grey misty springlike moment, even in july. it was a nostalgia drive of sorts, even though the coastal road i took did not correspond to and was actually in almost the exact opposite direction of the place i was thinking about as i drove. same ocean, same music. close enough.

about
-
me: aspiring writer, 'music nerd,' seeker of beautiful moments, college student, armchair theologian, nominal quaker, 'the diet coke of emo with no caffeine,' eclectic left-winger, and generally someone who thinks about things too much.
this: unedited, uninhibited, and uninteresting thoughts, nebulous stream-of-consciousness ramblings of memory, inside jokes, obscure references, emotional paroxysms, and slices of life. sometimes there are pictures.
