my route to school is shared by about ten million other students; the route is covered at least 3000 times per day. So this evening when i was walking home, i was both happy and sad that there was so much wonderful crunchy ice left for me to stomp on: i was happy cause there was lots for me to crunch. but so sad because that means 2999 people walked right by the ice. what were they thinking?
i spent hours and hours in the computer lab today. for once, i'm not exaggerating - it was at least 7 hours, which might not sound much to you computer geeks, but it's a lot for me.
i was breathing and re-breathing the same stale, recycled, math building air, and it dragged me lower and lower until i felt like i'd gone ten million hours without sleep. i couldn't wait to get home and collapse. i was stressed, my skin was dry, my brain hurt, etc etc etc....
and then... then i emerged into the most perfect evening in the history of the world. it was crisp outside, but not too cold. the sky was a million different shades of pinks and blues, all reflected on the white of the snow. i inhaled deep breaths into my newly tar free lungs and crunched on the ice lining the sidewalk. And just like that, everything was wonderful again.
Listening to: james, tegan and sara, radiohead, crowded house, the verve, counting crows, and massive attack
"and it feels like nothing matters in our private universe" crowded house
(that's eight days of no smoking for anyone counting. it's all about grape lollipops)
oh yeah - and i'm going to san fransisco in nine days!
congrats to diaryland for moving over to a beautiful new layout without going down for a million days. i believe that certain guestbook webmasters could learn a few things **cough*-slambooks-*cough*cough **
i'm all about excessive numbers today - i'm counting things in the millions. it's just that kind of day.
