January:
sunny as all get out, at this beach hostel in mexico with a sweet crowd of people. going out to pick mussels at low tide. we cruised in here yesterday, all crammed in the back of this pickup truck, racing throught the mountains. this place is heaven and life is glorious.
April:
Laryssa: full of easter food.
Laryssa: finding that one cold winter ale in the fridge.
Laryssa: up talking on the internet until three am.
Laryssa: watching radiohead videos in the dark.
Laryssa: feeling an earthquake coming on.
June:
so. my housemates have decided we all can't live together anymore. i suppose i shouldn't bother with a lot of details, but here's a few.
it sucks. i'm really sad. i feel so rejected, and i'm uncomfortable about all of this. i didn't handle it very well, either - we had a house meeting about it tonight, and after i'd said all i was willing to say i just got quiet, then up and left during the attempted casual conversation after. i've been largely holed up in my room since then.
July:
i found out via a tear-soaked phone call from my friend jen that my friend from guatemala, mike police, died in a car crash. he's in his late twenties, he's driving home from a wilco concert, and someone driving on the wrong side of the fucking highway hit him head on. poof! just like that. what the fuck.
August:
once again from a public library:
have i mentioned lately that i love my life?
the orchard i'm working for here is worlds better. better trees, better pay, and a boss who isn't a total douchebag like my last one - more on that later.
September:
apparently i got back from the island yesterday afternoon, but it sure doesn't feel like it. i feel so engulfed by the city, it's like it swallowed a bigger piece of time than has really passed. it was a suprisingly fast easy trip back here from the comox valley, where i last was. i was reminded on way across the the ocean that it was yaara's birthday and i should for sure come get drunk, so obviously i scrapped my plans to head to my parents' place in coquitlam and went to meet my new house at seventh and clark.
October:
i am loving autumn.
i love autumn.
woke up to a cool crisp GORGEOUS sunny day.
basked in this on the sidewalk outside my house, in my housecoat.
drank coffee and listened to neko case loudly in the shower.
road my bike out to watch kaylie's soccer game with friends.
saturday beer before noon.
November:
reasonably now would be a good time to sleep, but this is not going to happen anytime soon. i have spent some time covering the main wall of my bedroom in parcel paper and reattaching the material that lived there before.
