• imagining having in-person radfem friends someday.
• Indian summer (i.e. our only summer), brief but divine.
• Ocean Beach with strange wave patterns and feathers in the water.
• my coworkers.
• cheap thrifted sundresses.
• how alive I feel when I'm driving fast on the freeway with loud music. electrified, or flying, or my own bioluminescent.
• pictures and videos of kelp forests (e.g.).
• daydreams of being in unfamiliar places. I've been thinking about moving to New Mexico for part of next year.
• writing letters in which I spill all my intellectual preoccupations.
• waking up at dawn one morning and moving my comforter and pillows out to the backyard to have the rest of my night's sleep on the hammock.
• the boy who always rings me up at the photo lab, because how often do you meet a truly jovial hipster?
Those letters, and writing such, sounds glorious.

ReplyDelete*how alive I feel when I'm riding fast on the freeway in a blue station wagon in San Fran with holly's awesome driving and loud "American indie" music gazing over the mist on the hills. electrified, or flying, or my own bioluminescent...
Jenica - And gratitude for the right people to send such letters to! Do you have one, or some?
ReplyDeletered-handed - Who knew I was capable of good ideas in the MORNING?
odessa - YES! Haha, he's our new mochi boy.
aipingplum - I am really glad that you were able to come along in that and come along inside that mood. Driving is my guilty pleasure and my fail-safe euphoria...
