gloss-y

haven't posted in a while
been in A2 visiting friends and family
saw sherri and cristina mezuk, but that's it...thea was too busy with work, emily never returned my call, and phoebe is coming to the very last minute in terms of finishing her new comic
but i had a good time with my parents
got a sandman comic, the new neko case, and some japanese candy
plus i got to eat at la chiche which is mediteranean/middle eastern and thus wicked good
i realized that bton is TINY, the restaurants are very limited, there are no REAL cafes (ie they all serve more to diner crowds), and there are much less people here than in a2
thus my people troubles
but i also found myself thinking that i've stopped speaking, stopped being confident here, cuz of whatever reasons
so i'm going to make a conscious effort to speak up
anyway, it's lonely here, and not as nice as i'd like...i almost ran down to the park down the street in my socks and swung on the swing, but there's no one here to race or to swing with or with whom to talk about things
or laugh with
or take photos with
it's very dull
all the more reason to shout to the skies until someone cool hears me
anyway, i'm listening to bob dylan
eating baked chips
drinking chai
wiggling my toes to keep them warm cuz i opened the window
and hoping my dad's lymphoma goes the way we hope
(recently, they discovered that the tumor's are growing faster, larger, etc...and it's a tossup as to whether or not that means 'yay, it's curable' or 'um, yeah, he's got a month or 2'...so, scary)
may the sky turn blue when you read this
and remember that i'm waiting to see you again
