I cleaned my room yesterday but ended up cleaning out my head, too. It's funny, the things you find. Things you never realized were missing. 

Lately it's impossible to stop having vivid dreams. It's nearly at the point where I've convinced myself that they're really happening.

For example ( Read more... )

Last April I was at Longhorn with Brian the night before he left for Washington DC. We had ordered the chile cheese fries for an appetizer. We never talk when we eat, so we were just sitting there in a sort of contented silence -- not at all the lonely kind of silence -- and I was looking down at my plate for a little while, thinking about how ( Read more... )
