nora jones - seven years

whoa. check this out. elizabeth (not ellie, elizabeth) invited me to hawaii over spring break! she and a bunch of her college pals are renting a cabin, and they're just going to chill on the beach, surf, play. all i need is the ticket, and i'm there. ... just thinking about it makes me all excited! so i figure i have to bond hardcore with her before she leaves for college again, so she doesn't forget me.
i like cough drops. 'course, the ones i've been eating aren't cough drops. they're vitamin C supplement drops. assorted citrus flavors. yum, baby.
i feel fantastic. last night i stood outside, smoking a cigarette and watching the snow fall. it was beautiful. i fell asleep to my headphones and woke up with ellie sound asleep on the floor. we piled up all the blankets on my bed and stretched out, sharing our stories from last night. great stories, by the way. last night was amazing. kenny keeps pointing out all the people i've been talking to about him, but he doesn't even know the half of it. elizabeth calls him "the guy with the face." odd coincidence, tho. she was at olive garden last night, sitting right behind us. she told me "i was sitting there thinking, where have i heard that voice before? i know someone who talks just like that..." and she turned around and it was me! but she didn't say anything 'cause she was on a date. still. it was cool. it was a conversation starter.
life is beautiful. not all the time, of course. but even in its worst moments, it's the best we've got or will ever have. i think back on all the memories i have, the things i've done and the people i've known.. and it's amazing how much can happen to just one person. listening to nora jones, watching the snow fall last night, reading white oleander, walking around safeway with liz, eating cheerios in shorts and a sweatshirt, tucking my feet under the cushions because it's cold... everything, all of it, makes life so good and fulfilling that ....
so i just spaced out for a half hour there. sorry folks. guess i won't be able to finish what i was thinking. but life's good, i'm happy, and my legs are cold so i'm going to put some pants on.

In the year 2005 I resolve to: Generate more bad karma. Get your resolution here

cute how that works. i've been doing that on my own already.
