Ways in which my life doesn't suck

There's this guy who works for one of our vendors. When I met him we were trying to give him some work because he waa newly homeless. Now he has a place to live but he walks 3 miles to a bus stop and commutes for 4 hours by public transport to get to and from work. It rained all day today- poured down so hard on the 2-walls-and-a roof sheet metal structure which we've been working in that you couldn't hear your music or the voices of other people or the sounds in your head. I ended up giving this guy a ride downtown because I live there and that's where his first bus takes him. On the way he told me about a bunch of the crazy things that have happened to him, like when a guy tried to kill him in a parking lot and the time he went to jail for a month.

It is truly astounding how much Danish I can pull out of the gutters of my mind when I'm attempting to impress a boy.

What light

Felt sad and hid in my bed under all my blankets all night and ate ice cream and drank all the red wine and watched Shakespeare in love

twenty-eight now

woke up the morning after my birthday in bed under my covers with my boots still on and a sandwich in my purse that i don't remember buying

spent new year's eve sitting on a sidewalk with vana in downtown orlando, leaning against a building and talking and not even noticing when the clock struck midnight. no countdown, no kissing couples, perfect.
