5 days is all it took to change my life forever.

lightning.

boy,
can we sit on a creaky porch and watch a lightning storm, marveling at its sheer vastness compared to our tiny selves?
can we be spontaneous and do crazy adventurous things that i would be afraid to do alone?
can we spend a whole day doing absolutely nothing except laughing at jokes that only we find funny?
can we go to a ton of sports games (football of course) and cheer so loudly we lose our voices?
can we truly live every moment and treasure the ones we share?

i sure hope so.

books books books

to read: jane eyre, the bell jar, franny & zooey, lucky, of mice and men, all quiet on the western front, tender is the night, a moveable feast, tales of a female nomad, loves executioner, atlas shrugged, and many many more.

currently reading: of love and shadows.

maybe one day i can stop being busy for a week or two and simply read. maybe.

today, i am

completely and utterly addicted:
jamming to blues' brothers with my dad,
sun hats,
fortune cookies,
dandelion wishes,
and
isabel allende's imagination.
