fennel

i love my girl-friends. i love sitting around the table talking about food, life, men, sex, and books with two of my top four. three "strong on the outside, soft on the inside" girls sharing laughs and enjoying the pleasure of good conversation.

this evening melissa, beck and i, along with a few of melissa's friends from ultimate frisbee went to see the curious case of benjamin button. i loved it, and it's been a while since i saw a movie i really loved. beck shed many a tear, requiring three kleenex's to dry her eyes.

i can feel it boiling in my chest.
i will not be afraid.
i will not be afraid.
i will not be afraid.

you don't know it, but some day.
some day, my friend.
oh how i wish i could tell you!
but i know what you're like,
so i'll keep it to myself as not to freak you out.

i have three days left of my vacation. of which 1.5 are stat holidays which will be an inconvience. i want to relax but i also want to make the most of those days. i kind of want to go start putting a second coat on my paper mache fish right now (which looks GREAT! by the way). but i'll probably get ready for bed so i can get up early to do it.

i'm on my knees looking for the answer.

i would like to point out that those tissues were already half-used because of other winter-related sniffles. i'd say i used the equivalent of 1.5 fresh tissues on that movie. besides, it was a very emotional film!! totally flipped the aging process on its ear and gave me a new sympathy for the old and bewildered.
