old bay

I'm a libertine. I'm single for the first time in a long time. I'm a woman in interesting times. I'm a product of mass consumerism but I've planted my own garden. I'm able to drive wherever I want, listening to whatever radio station I'd like to. I can run away. I'm a student and I can legally drink. I enjoy America's favorite passtime and am lucky enough to live on the coast. I can hangout with whoever and write whatever the hell I want.

Folks, I'm feeling just fine and for once in my life I have no plans.

move those chains

I rarely hate anyone. Especially people that I've never met.

But let me tell you, I have more hatred in my body for her than for everything and everyone else combined. I also hate him for being so nice to her. Still.

If I ever met her, shit would hit the fan.

watching soap operas

The best cure for a hangover is more apple moonshine.

Also, I'm going to my first Ravens game tonight. Hurray.

how could you be so heartless

One hundred degrees outside. One hundred degrees inside. I must be in hell.

baltimore

Moving back into the row-home in the city:

Pros: near friends, fun neighborhood, quality time with my mother, change of scenery.
Cons: no airconditioning, no room to unpack, broken dryer, less privacy, no grass.

Six days left until the move to Iowa.

halleluia

Last day of camp! I am rejoicing.

Also. Packing was far more difficult than I thought. I had to give up around 1:30 because I convinced myself that my clothes have grown bigger just to spite me.

Another note. Neighbors that decide to mow their lawns at 7 A.M. are jackasses.

my, my, my

Found: selected poems.
Lost: count.
In search of: patience and spontaneity.

you came, you saw, you sawed her brain

I can't think of anything more than trivial to write. Tonight I have to pack to move back to Baltimore and then to Cedar Rapids. Tomorrow is the last day of camp and then opening (and closing) night for the show. I'm very proud of the kids even though they are wily. Saturday morning I leave for Nissan Pavilion in Virginia where I'll be staying overnight to see a concert. Sunday night I'll spend with Dar. I'm already planning December.

Next Monday through Saturday?

Possibly: Raven's game, golf, the beach, road trips, makeshift speedos, camping.
Definite: sleeping in and abundant farewell drinks to bid goodbye to a great end of summer.
