• Full Moon

  It's a full moon and I've had a weird day. I don't know if they're related. Chances are my day would have been what it was regardless of the moon. That's a pretty big chance. Officially nothing out of the ordinary really happened today. Woke up sort of later than I hope for every Saturday, but not any later than usual. Stripped my bed and planned on cleaning my room before I realized that it was already clean. Caught a few minutes of the movie Across the Universe, and realized that I really enjoy covers of songs. Got dressed and went out to get wine and some dessert for a girly get together later on in the evening and I intended on going to the library to read a book of short stories about folk tales in the Caribbean (perk of studying Folklore) but, as has been my habit lately, I decided against it and decided to return home to my quiet, immaculate room to read. Alone. I got into bed again at around 6pm, dragged the book with me and ended up napping. I woke up and dressed again for my girly evening of food and wine, and spent some time talking alternately about hair, nails, vampires in leather pants, interracial couples, back to hair, yoga and cell phone apps.

  Here's the weird part. I enjoyed my day. Some of it was typical, some of it wasn't (all night I kept thinking this was the longest period of time I'd spent with girls I wasn't related to in a long time, and I don't really ever talk about nails or hair quite this much.Ever.). But I didn't have a bad day. Yes, here and there I was reminded of the occasional hurt I think I'll feel for a little while yet, for various reasons. But life moves on (even that thought hurts, but that's as it should be I think). Tonight is a full moon, and as I settle in I think about the phone call I got from someone who never calls me (there's this awkwardness between us that I swear I'm not making up. I know awkward when I see it, and I know it's not just me this time. I don't know if he senses my slight crush on him, but if that's the case it's not just me) and now have two amazing movies I could watch before going to bed because I am not sleepy at all. But I think I'll call it a night, or at least read myself to sleep. I might as well. No one else is here to do it.
