i spent almost the entire day with my dad, which was wonderful. we are a talk riot when we are together in our own quiet way, cursing the fools of the world up and down and drawing up verbal blueprints of the next attack. fell asleep on his big shoulder in the sunny laundromat that i usually hate, ate chocolate, went to the bookstore and read aloud about beer. he says: "got to watch out for those short stranded fats, they'll go wild. it's those c4 and c5s that you have to keep an eye on. there's a big difference between a banana and a gym sock." basically, my dad is the smartest, strongest, fastest man in the world. and he loves me more than anyone else in the world loves me. stew in your jealousy, just go ahead.
strange how hard it is to put someone you love on a bus and walk away. it goes against all instinct.
last night was my parents' 26th wedding anniversary. good lord. i hope i believe in something that much before i die, other than them.
it is swiftly coming to nightfall and my chest is constricting. to all you absent: traitors! i cannot cannot cannot stand to be alone in the night.
