sunny came home

i really like

singing really loud in my car.

i might even go so far as to say i have a pretty alright voice.

i think i just needed a change of pace...a change from the thisandthat of my driving to and from seattle. i'm really loving puyallup, and it's a bit further from sumner, a bit further from seattle, but hell, what's another three miles if it makes me content? a few hundred square feet to rent out as my own every month.

i'm sitting at a starbucks in portland (now i really just go to starbucks because once i flash my employee card people understand that i, too, share a dweeby fascination with the steaming of milk and what not.....i think i'm really liking talking to random strangers...anyway...ha. i'm such a dweeb...). i just dropped off one of my best friends in the whole wide world. i haven't seen her in a while, and just seeing her tall lanky frame and her smiling face looking waaaay down at me....i'm a few years older than her but that never made a difference....we've always clicked really well and i adore her with all my life.
i almost wept when i saw her.

sometimes i forget how much i can love another person until too much time has passed in between. and i can't take back the lost time, but i swear i'll be making up for it.


it's night time. i'll be taking out my 35mm soon.

good: no sales tax, free street parking
bad: not a lot of free parking (but i am now a well seasoned parallel parker)
ugly: i will never have enough time
