Unfolding Fans

I liked today. I helped my mom clean by windexing all of the windows in the entire house, which was at times really tiring. I had to unhitch the windows from the sill, in order in windex the inside and outside of each part of the window. I liked this job, though, because I felt close to being outside, and I could smell and hear all the bustlings of a summer weekend. Plus it made my mom happy that I was helping her. We get along much better when I give her hand.

Today I hung out with laptop and iPod, have you met them? We're quite aquatinted. The sky was really beautiful all day, as if it were on the verge of lashing out at any second with a storm. I took pictures, and they all came out pretty good. I fixed them up a bit with iPhoto, which is a pretty decent editor. What do I know though, haha. I have always wanted to get a really nice camera and take some photography classes, since like 6th grade, but I could never afford it. I've been saving since last year, and I have about $250 in my "camera fund." This number rises and falls like the sun. There are just too many other things to worry about. I'm hoping to pick it up in college.

Even though I have spent all day alone, I have been enjoying myself greatly. I sat outside on my porch and read The World According to Garp for two hours. I read it once already, but I want to read it again. It's a strange book, but I really like it. I made it to page 60 today. The sun was stale but searing, which did wonders for my already burnt skin. Today I also tie dyed two shirts for my Dad. He wanted them for Father's Day so he could think of me when I leave for college.

It is hitting me now that I really miss Kathryn! She's only been gone since Monday. If she were home right now, I could be hanging out with her. Kathryn makes me feel so genuinely loved. We like to take care of each other.

I have my music on shuffle and every song that has come on so far, I have loved and really listened to. Sometimes nothing satisfies me musically, like I don't know what I'm in the mood to listen to, but today I haven't changed a song yet. AHH. Somedays by Regina just came on and, even though it's a horribly sad song, it's too beautiful to skip. I love when she hums along to the violins.

I can smell the left over Chicken Divan that my Mom made for dinner downstairs, and the odor of the cold cream of mushroom soup makes me want to vomit. I would almost rather my brother come back upstairs and soak himself in his Abercrombie and Fitch cologne again. Whenever he gets out of the shower I swear, he didn't wash himself with water but with "Fierce."

My neck hurts. Maybe my phone will buzz later on and it will just be someone saying Hi. That would be nice, haha.



Innocent bones, sing me your song. I won't wait long.
