I just sent this to my friend Kelly (not that Kelly but a different one):
I took have been crazy busy with summer and working and Sister #4 soon-to-be leaving my humble abode. It’s kind of nice but insane. Plus there’s Rock and Roll Class, Poetry Slams, and just generally being social. Sometimes I long for those frozen, frigid days of February when there’s nothing to do but stay warm and take a nap.
Suddenly, I’ve become one of those people who spends their weekends doing home improvement. While it makes me feel superadult and what not, everytime I go into Home Depot I have to give up any sort of claim, no matter how slim, I ever had to being young and cool. I get excited over brown paint and bookcases.
Depending on the angle I look at my life, it’s either really cool or just sadly generic with it’s work responsibilities and mortgages. How did I become this girl? Or woman, I guess.
A mere year ago I was spending the summer sleeping with men I hardly know, paying $600 in rent, and generally whopping it up.
And now this. I’m stuck in that Talking Heads song.
Burning Down the House?
Road to Nowhere?
Life During Wartime?
Psycho Killer?
The Book I Read?
Stop Making Sense?
