i am here! nooo i'm not!

ok, so locking it was a bit stupid. it sure seemed amusing and perturbing enough at the time, a way to return to the old days so to speak. and don't assume you didn't miss anything. heh, just nothing fit to be seen.

there's this really cool part at the end of a beastie boys song. you guys should all listen to it, but i guess it doesn't help that i know neither the CD nor the song i am referencing. uh.. it's #11. at the very end, a giddy man says,

"you know, i wish there was some way that i could be outside playing basketball in the rain and not get wet. now wouldn't that be great?" he's completely serious about it, but mentioning it conversationally. it makes me laugh out loud every time. hence i keep returning to it. the charm will wear off soon, i'm sure.

besides that, today i learned just how digusting pomogranite juice tastes. seriously friends, the after-taste inevitably makes your face squeeze up from the sour sickness. eric and i will have a shot competition over this some day, you know, in lieu of alcohol. it will be hi-larious, hope you can make it.

ooh, what did i learn besides that? that everything is best easy come easy go. and easy stay. a light-hearted matter is best. what an ironic phrasing. because somehow this thing always manages to be so heavy. that's my problem, i think. it's all a mind game, perceptions and stuff.

...or 'n'stuff, it somehow looks more early 90-ish, which i presume is starting to be cool again. yes, i could be horribly wrong but i don't care either way. so let's see each other sometime when i return and keep it/take it easy. this is a good plan, i look forward to it!

even moreso, i look forward to what i am about to endeavor upon. fragmented whatevers deliver it best:

loud loud tracks, don't cross yellow line unless you like to tease the train people like i do, they tap on the window at you heh heh. choochoo doesn't do it justice... neither does the title "observation car." last year met some rather appealing boy scouts on the trip, that was fun. they were from wisconsin and thought i was a great sense of entertainment seeing as i'm female and all...i'm way off track. wow that was a priceless pun there. chicago so cool underground station good pizza love the chaos switch trains. anticipation mounting we are one of the last stops. get ready so excited not sure for what but thrilled. look out the windows it is all so different from what you would usually see! finally arrive late at night, guess who's up waiting for us? everyone, it's joy. we barvarian inn at frankenmuth, i go crazy on roller coasters (dreamt about this last night, i sense symbolism?), shopping in gigantic malls, the rush of a sittie. city, heh. opera once, that was fun. oooh two new additions, must be formerly met, girl baby cousins within a month of birth. shall become great friends in older years i predict. no cousins my age how sad, but nextdoor neighbor of my uncle who is a mere year older, he's a indoor rock climbing instructor and very fun. how could you not be with a name like lyle? nevermind. but no it's all about the family this year, especially this year. major magic's, caesar's pizza playground, the whole bit. eating good stuff, i imagine. think vereneky, white cheddar mac and cheese, borscht (ugh pink soup), jet pizza, and they actually have veritable ice cream trucks there so that shall be very fun as well! swimming in lake debrovah, being outside in general. catch a few movies, those are always fun, go downtown to all the fun shops. yes, all should be jealous.

thanks for stopping by. come again anytime. i love the sticker, hope my stuff is enjoyed too. icky gum ball but somehow good. talking was also very good, rathergood i say. talking about whatever, i wanted to cram it all in so we were for sure in the same place. now i know everyone is equally confused and enlightened and i like that much more. discussing the surreal moment of my sunglasses retrieval was absolutely great. especially how we could laugh about it, that was best. finger puppet brar, did i mention his name is arthur?! now his name is known. i keep erasing that one word- but i refuse to be elmo! everything makes more sense, either that or i realized that it doesn't need to make sense! either way, i am content. i have now experienced yet another meaningful sunset, this time with a comrade rather than a hopeful. thanks.

oooh, i must be off to pack! i plan on writting (at least with p. & p.) each day if i can find the lousy time, and don't think i won't be around here too! "here" being the vast world of the Internet, and "around" meaning reading up on all of the documented minds! i doubt i'll miss anything too incredibly important, and even if i do, i already throw in the "oh well" to keep it simpler for everyone. yea it's not easy, but there it is! and at last, to all: enjoy your time in my absence if you find it to be at all possible!
