I should be learning new music right now. I don't want to. I'd rather wallow in the mire of myspace.
Sabrina and I went to visit her friend at a camp outside of Yakima yesterday. It was a quick trip, the highlights of which included two stops at Shari's in Moses Lake (for lunch on the way there, and for a late night snack on the way home), hiking in a forest with no path and fearing getting lost and/or poison ivy, sitting on a large cabin deck getting my feet and hands bitten by mosquitoes, wonderful, deep, meaningful conversation with a dear friend, and a trip down memory lane in the form of Amy Grant tapes. We listened to "Heart in Motion" which I haven't heard in about a decade. Listening to it was trippy...songs that I'd completely forgotten about and could barely recognize at first came rushing back to me in seconds and I found myself singing along to not only every single word, but every single "oooh" and "ahhhh" and blah blah blah. I literally felt like the wrinkles in my brain were unfolding, revealing this information that, for some reason, has been stored and preserved, just waiting for me to need it. I've had that experience before, but never so strongly or drastically. I can't explain it. I wish it would happen for something that had a little more use for me, though. Oh well. It was cool. And we sang the shit out of those songs, lemme tell ya.
I was supposed to meet a friend for drinks tonight, but he cancelled on me. Actually, he's not really a friend. He's a friend of Stacy's who heard me sing once and became my one and only self-professed 'fan.' Maybe some other time. The shame of it all is that my hair looks really good right now without my having done anything to it except brush it this morning, and there is no one to witness the phenomena.
I bought a new dress today. It's beautiful, but too expensive, and when i tried it on it didn't fit right...just a little tight. But I bought it anyway with the intention of taking it back later, after i'd gotten my fill of playing dress up. But when I got home and put it on again it fit perfectly and looked amazing. It's still too expensive...that hasn't changed. But I think I'm going to keep it anyway.
yesterday // life goes on
