snow, breakdowns and a cold october..

maybe i'm hallucinating, but i just counted three snowflakes outside my window. and it's cold. nevermind. there are a lot more than three. goodbye summer...i'll miss the way you let me dance without piercing me with thick, icy needles and frosting my nose closed when i only wanted to breathe....

and despite the romantic notions i still have about winter...the warm hearth, mulled wine, a good book and snuggles... nobody i know here* has a hearth.

my computer broke the other day.

i came home from work, maybe a little too excited to lie down, get cosy and watch some new episode of something... but when i turned it on, all i saw was gray screen accompanied by a never-ending series of three LOUD beeps. i should have it back and *functioning* in three weeks.

thanks Future Schmuck. don't worry about school, it's not like i'll have anything due before then.

but really, i can't complain....everything else sort of rules...i get to MAKE MOVIES and play with PHOTOSHOP FOR MARKS and write POEMS for (sorta) marks... and the people at work are okaaay too..

speaking of nothing... when i think about the wind...

...she calls my name with a whisper

quiet, inaudible,

sincere.

she plays with leaves--

a summer's breeze

twirling trees

like paintbrushes in the sky.
