i’m home on a 3 hour break before astrology.. and on the bus ride back it occured to me that i’m quite happy now! yesterday while lying on the grass at the arboretum i realised that at that point of time, there was no place else i’d rather be than where i was, on the grass in the sun by the ducks wearing blue tights and a sweatshirt. its a nice feeling to have, and a rare one where i grew up. on the bus i was reading bridge to terabithia, one of the books elfie gave me for my birthday, and i was sitting by the window with the sunshine pouring into the bus like streams of WARM BUTTER and it felt like i could stay on the bus forever, which lasted only 8 minutes till i got home. i’ve a new friend in the crepes chef at the silo who insists on speaking french with me everytime he sees me ever since he found out i could speak it. he said today that he’ll put a sheet of paper up at the cashier for people who know how to speak french or want to practise speaking it to write their names and contact each other. hahaha! and he gave me an extra stamp on the frequent crepe eaters reward card as “extra incentive” to keep coming back. ahaha.
i kept falling asleep during foodscience today.. and i have several ink stains on my notebook to prove it. but the sunshine that greeted me when i emerged from the sleepy hall was enough to wake me (: so i got tea and sat out in the sun.. made friends with this girl vanessa. at first i was curious at what she was writing in her little notebook, which turned out to be her record of what she eats each day. and then she took out a textbook (our sexuality). so i started talking to her, and reading the california aggie with strong resistance by the wind, and squeezing 2 packets of honey into my breakfast tea. i must, must say.. walking/lying in the sunshine here has got to be one of the most comfortable things i’ve ever done in my life (: i can be seen crossing a street several times just to walk on the side that isn’t in the shade. i think i shall go get myself a little mat so i can go to the arboretum for some sunning more often.
last night i had the most amazing pie.. lemon supreme and french apple (: (: (: every wednesday’s free pie day at baker’s square.. and that’s where you’ll find me. probably. and tonight we’re meeting chelsea and amy at pluto’s for dinner.. its a salad place i heard. to think i was never a believer that salad could be a meal till now.
think i shall go to this cafe called common grounds across the street now to observe a stranger and get that journal assignment done before san francisco this weekend! toodles friends, i miss you!
p.s. “SHRIMP” just doesn’t sound as delicious as “PRAWNS”!!!! come on america!
