a christmas carrel

snow on the foothills, free hot chocolate, a library i won't be thrown out of for nine hours yet! it is my last fall finals week in community college, and i will miss this sweet, woody place. i've been accepted to one university of california which is strong in the biological sciences, but i doubt it will allow me to rub my cheek on a gene

Does this mean you are moving to a different nearby city that I will never see you in?

[mercureal]

many months from now. babies will be conceived and carried to term before move-out, and how nearby depends on whether a better school accepts or rejects me. it is remotely possible that i will live in SoCal.

i would beg you to come for nacho fries, but i know what this season means for downtown and so i know it is useless.

That 30th birthday my roommate is having means he has invited roughly seven thousand people to our apartment this weekend.

It may be enough to get me to brave a faux winter wonderland.

If you had asked me before today if I loathed people or Christmas cheer more, it would have been hard to empirically prove one way or the other.

I do flicker! I hope you're well.

Re: i wonder

[bobthewriter]

Isn't the mystery better? I live in Southern California. I finally traveled off the west coast for the first time last May - to an island off the coast of Georgie for an insect photography workshop. Could there be a more compelling snapshot of my life?

You? Writing, editing, other? Kids?
