So my Fourth was like a yo-yo dropped once. The great Finger of Goodness did not pull me from a pit of bad idle spinning until pretty late this evening though. We had our neighbors over for dinner (the ones that are moving in 5 weeks btw) which was a blast, then around 7 I went to Miles' big blowout in Edmonds/Mukilteo/Wherever it's Legal.
It has been one of those evenings like a fine gemstone. When you get there, all you've got is a rock. Flat rock. You see potential but it's still a rock. But by the time you're in your car driving home, you realize that you've got an inexpressibly hypnotic, multifaceted gem that takes $20 in words to describe.
Seeing as I can't afford $20 in words, and I'd hate to waste them cheapening the experience for all of you, I don't think I'll say anymore than that. I'll just make like the virgin and treasure all these things in my heart. So there. :)
Sometimes I wish I was going to, say, europe. Not because europe is cool (which it is) or because I'm sick of home (which I'm not) but because you realize a sense of urgency with your friends. Suddenly 'sometime' becomes next week because it has to. It's instant intimacy. And it's such a mixed blessing because we only get it when we're actually going to europe (or Phoenix or wherever). I wonder how it would be if I could pull the benefits of this urgency without the leaving part.
