60 days to salve. yes, i counted.

no, seriously. i really did.



1) i get to see my Wifey on the last day of THIS MONTH. SQUEE!

2) Bevin aced the SATs the second time around!!!!

3) Ari and Joe graduated :-)

4) my job has been a hassle this week. *sigh* i'm a workaholic. and that's not good. i'm always tired. i'm always running to hang out with people and then i come home and talk to other people. i've waited a long time to have an amazing social life. this is what i've always wanted. i didn't count on always being tired. Margaret and i joke about me staying home. when i do stay home, we say that i've "thrown my parents a bone." i never thought that i'd be so quick to ditch my parents. am i...actually becoming a grown-up? are they letting go? this is all new. i don't know what's happening. and the worst part? i'm still going to do it! i'm still going to go out and talk on the phone and on AIM. i'm scared that i'm going to lose my parents and the relationship i have with them in the process.

5) another late night poem.

i know i've got it bad
because i keep listening for your voice
in my head
and while i can hear everyone's voice
as clear as day...
i can't hear yours.
you've become a picture
words on a screen
that stand in place
for the whole you.
you're not here.
not with me.
far....far.....away.
separated by over a hundred miles.
and it seems like much further.
