mei

went out in the sun today, to hand out flyers. it was nice to be in the sun, but an awful lot of walking. i have TWO, count them TWO interviews tomorrow and day-after tomorrow, though, so i'm doing ok. i'll work in an office yet!

i even got a little bit sunburned. i'll have a tan, and freckles, soon. it's not like i set out to get tan, but i love being in the sun so much!

i'm going to start going to the gym in the evenings or mornings, i think. my body just feels unhappy.. yoga would be better, but i just don't have the self control to do it without a studio. bleh. i feel so sloppy if i haven't been exercising.

my housemates are almost moved out, which means lots of cleaning in the next few days! it'll be kind of nice to have a clean house again.

and we're going to the beach this weekend.. we'll stay with my parents, but we should be having our own room.. so we can go run around at the beach and then come back without disturbing them too awfully much.

the sun still awes me. it filters through my skin into my blood, carrying brightness everywhere. it's not even that much of an issue that it's really warm - it's light and hot. hot without mugginess, hot without sweat, just hot.

yesterday i watched the sun come out from behind a cloud. it was like lightening arrested, slowed to a crawl. the jagged cloud-edge lit up, bright yellow, brighter, brighter. electricity without a current, frozen. i watched until the sun came out, burning a half-circle into my retinas. i watched the road with the green imprint of the sun still hovering in my line of sight, driving away.
