After twenty-five years, it's nice to know
Milestone today? I drove. In New York.
Brooklyn, not Manhattan, but still. It was the first time I'd been behind the wheel of a car since moving here.
And, it was gorgeous out. Beautiful!
And. I hang out on the TWoP boards a lot, and today, another girl from the boards and I were in Times Square at the same time, within probably a block of each other. If I knew what she looked like, I would have tried to pick her out, but as it was, I thought it might be a little strange to run through TS shouting her screen name. As fun as that would be, probably no one would notice. Except for the tourists, who would get scared.
Warm weather brings them out like flies. Tourists, that is. Wow. There's a reason I don't really like walking through there. Every once in a while is okay, but on an almost-daily basis? Not so much. The crowds are different than crowds in non-tourist areas. More sluggish and harder to push through. They just don't move!
I wrote a fic last night/this morning that was in a very fragmented style (one of those "you've first got to know the rules to be able to break them" kinds of things), and I'm still thinking in that sort of sentence structure, but it doesn't make sense for a post that's supposed to be semi-coherent, intelligent, and informative. I've got to shake my brain out of the incredibly stylized feel and back to normal grammar.
Oh yeah, and Lourenzo got a gecko. Guess who's going to be spending all day tomorrow planted in front of the cage, watching it? I'll give you a hint--it won't be me! He's already planning to spend the whole day, except for eating and practicing piano, watching the gecko. We'll see how long that lasts, but right now, that's the plan.
I had something else of significance to say, but I have no idea what it was now.
I think I've listened to "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds at least 50 times in the past four days. It was the closing song on Monday night's episode of "Everwood," and I fell in love with it immediately, and I've had it on repeat for much of the week. It's amazing. Go listen to it now. Totally worth it.
I'm hoping to go to a Good Friday service tomorrow evening with Faith, but I haven't heard back from her, so I'm not sure what's up with that, and I don't know what the day with Lourenzo will look like, either, so we'll see if that happens.
Anyways, I've got about five more things that I want to type up tonight, including a review over here (and if you saw Tuesday's episode, you know it's going to be a doozy!), so I've gotta get to that...

You drove in New York...You are definately AMAZING! I am pretty sure it might take me a while to work up the courage to do that!
Anyway, it is great to hear how things are going so many miles away...And I do hope you get to Good Friday service there...that would be sweet! Anyways, take care...Oh...And...
HAPPY BELATED BDAY PITA!!!
Do you love me. . . WE are the ones who have loved you anywhere close to 25 years!! (Yikes--it is pretty close to that!)
Good Friday service at St. Giles with Mozart by the CYC, St. Giles choir and Crescent Heights H.S. choir was great. It was a full house there. Hope you get to your service.
See you soon--we are dragging out and dusting off the suitcases (and broke the closet overhead light fixture in the process--had to get the shards out of my shoes!) and stacking up things to put into them. Can hardly wait!
Mom
P.S. I'm still waiting for Kim to read this blog--where's she been? Guess I'll have to see if I can find a phone #.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :) [Now we are both belated! Hehe] Hope you had a good time and glad it was green - I don't think I will never have one?! I am going to read your review of Tuesday's episode, I am getting kind of annoyed with Rory!! Anwyays, enjoy your weekend.
love,
~linds~
