rin

i feel absolutely lovely right now. i just had the most romantic bath. i don't mean romantic as sexual, but the broader definition. i lit candles and drank apple cranberry tea and put lots of bubbles in and shaved my legs and read some poetry that just made my head spin. i wish i'd had someone hanging out with me to read the poetry to--it's jangling around inside my skull. but then i tend to view company while i am bathing as an extremely positive thing.

i hung out with manda and jon today. they are my soon-to-be roommates (in 6 weeks or so. ugh, i can't imagine moving again. i hate it.) and they are absolutely lovely. they were at burning man and so i haven't seen them for 2 1/2 weeks and they made today really special.

bought my ticket to edmonton today--i'll be in the area from the 24-28.

my mom cencelled her visit due to financial woes, so i did not clean my place. instead i went out walking in the rain and felt fabulous after.

i fucking hate when people complain about the weather. a surprise rainstorm, i can understand, when it ruins your plans, or that month of rain this spring--that's a downer. but i like the rain. i like this weather. i don't mind getting a bit damp, but i dress warmly. it drives me nuts when people complain about it though. and i fucking go nuts when people complain about winter. it happens every year. it is no surprise. so shut the fuck up and spare me.

i need to go rustle myself up a good late-night pajama-wearing snack. i've got my trusty slippers, some comfy pajama pants, and this glorious men's dress shirt i bought as a smock. i refer to it as being soft as earlobes because it has been worn in to the perfect softness. the next 12 hours are going to be leisure-intense for me. i'm loving life right now, and feeling loved in return.
