rose-tinted mouth, snowfall

[starfrosting]

I timed my walk perfectly, just as the gorgeous day's sun had burnt itself off and the sky started to get big and gray, tiny bits of precipitation fluttering down as I swung my Matt's-track-jacketed arms and polarfleeced thighs. (Ew, polarfleeced thighs?) Just in time because now, my friends, it is snowing. From what I can tell snow is a rare occurence here, and it is coming down fast and gentle.

It's funny cos I blew off this book release event I wanted to go to do work. Haha. Maybe some day I will develop self-discipline. That better be by this fall, because otherwise I am going to die.

What is the name of that Philosophy tinted lip balm? Last night I had a dream where I stole a huge pot of it, after having bought a pot of the Benetint stuff. Yes, I do dream about stealing the perfectly sheer-red-tinted lip balm. No Freudian analysis, thank you, but clearly there is something going on with me about Aesthetics and The Feminine.

I'm feeling really silly. And hungry. Annnd like now would be the perfect time to align my soul, eat some lunch, and read no future. Because obviously reading a book that you may or may not use for an essay that isn't due for a month is a much better idea than working on the essay that you really should have finished by this time Sunday. Mmhmm.


postscript: oh shit, I just realized Ostara is in less than 3 weeks. I miss actually observing the sabbats. And Shabbos, for that matter. I'll at least light the candles, say a prayer, and drink some wine tonight.

How is this night different than all other nights?

I had a dream that they tore paper off of all the doors on my floor, except mine! And I didn't understand why, so I was real worried they'd come for my door next.

I also had this dream that I was in some kind of spaceport -- like an airport, but we were going off-world. Everyone was really, really happy and excited about leaving the planet and I met all these neat kids of different species.

Aw, friends of different species!

The paper dream sounds scary. Was it scary? It reminds me of those terrifying Holocaust dreams. (I definitely just assumed that you have them as well, which I guess is wrong of me. Do you ever have them? I used to have dreams where I'd be at the shore and nazis would come and I'd have to hide upstairs. The shore house is an A-frame so basically I would be hiding in the attic.)

It was sort of scary. Haha, nothing to do with the Holocaust except maybe the way I accidentally phrased it up there. I think I've had one dream that my family was hiding from Nazis, but just the one.

i had a moment about you while i was driving home from school today. not a dream well sort of except i was awake.i realized that we are most likely going to be applying to grad schools at the same time next year.this is scary for the obvious stressful will i get in reasons, but also kind of cool for the potential to end up somewhere relatively close to each other and meet up for coffee (who am i kidding we both know coffee = wiskey) and hardcore theory. ok this is completely not realistic in anyway. i guess the bottom line is i miss you and talking about everything in terms of postmodernism.

fuck, I love that yr mind works like that! the only thing is, I'm not sure if I'm going to apply next year; I guess it depends whether one can defer enrollment to grad school or not. (I definitely need/want to take a year off in between undergrad and postgrad. unless someone can come up with a brilliant reason as to why I should just go straight into it. my parents' "you'll get hooked on drugs if you take a year off" line of reasoning just isn't very compelling.) Where are you looking to go? The school's I'm really interested in are in NYC and Berkeley, but there are Really Good Phil Programs in Chicago. On the other hand it's Chicago and I don't know how I feel about that. At any rate I would love to meet you for whiskey (we could combine and do Irish coffee, but I'm always more fond of the old-man hot toddy. Or, yknow, just straight whiskeys) wherever we end up. I miss you too. You should write me a letter if you feel like it.

ive been writing you a letter for weeks now. except i only seem to write a few words at a time. i promise i will send it before you leave ireland. I really miss the northeast so im looking to go back like nyc or boston, but i have to apply to ucberkeley and ucsantabarbara not because i have any chance at all to get in but because they are 1 and 3 in the country so well . . . anyway. we will have cross-time-zone whiskey dates via speakerphone and look like total assholes but it will be worth it if that is what it comes to.

yr words are filling me with such jouissance.

philiosophy tinted lip balm? that sounds like really cool hardcore & sexy. benetint? I've never heard of that one. --- I think you made the right decision!

It's good to be a boy who's comfortable with lip gloss. I've decided that's what my dream was trying to tell me.
