cans of worms?….
“Drivin’ on 9 / you could be a shadow / beneath the streetlight / behind my home / drivin’ on 9 / I sure do miss you / pass the motels / looking at the pines”
—The Breeders
…or golden opportunities?
Today: bus, work, train, plane, train, meet up with 6th/9th/10th grade BFF for 1st time in over a decade, back on train, JENNY! Tomorrow: Hanging Out in Chi w/ JJ + then Chris + Yuyun’s reception…haven’t seen Chris since I was 8, but chatted with him a LOT throughout HS/college, + that/he was kind of pivotal. So. Sunday: More Jenny activities + tea with one of my dear dear friends from 12th grade, also haven’t seen her in probably ~10 years. Whew. Taking it too far? (Note: I could have taken it further and chose not to, so there’s that.) Admittedly apprehensive. Thank You Jenny for supporting my Tour de Midwest/Tour de le Past :).
I blame Facebook in general, Sarah’s wedding awesomeness (for giving me a chance to relive the past in its utmost glory, seriously)/TT reunion, and one of my other dear dear friends from 12th grade moving here (this probably would merit its own update ‘back in the day’, but, no) for all of this.
And…so far, it’s been kind of a magical summer. I would definitely trade it for other things, but I guess the upside to early 2011 trickery is all of this surprising, unexpected, good stuff. Eh?
Decades, being 18, reaching out and delving in…I wrote a pretty wacked out note on my Touch about all of this yesterday and was going to share it here but realized it’s just tooooooooo wacky, ha ha ha. (In THE PAST I would have gladly shared it, FWIW. HAH!)
Obviously having a terrible time accomplishing anything other than thinking/reflecting. SAME OLD STORY. Back to work.
