I’ve been walking around lately, with music and poetry swirling around me like the pretty colored leaves of fall. I keep reading things,
good things, poetry, pleasant phrases and thinking, I could do that, I could
evoke those emotions too. Its more than just feeling more creative, generally,
I’m pretty happy overall, doing a lot of things that I’ve wanted to, working
two part time web jobs. And having a most excellent time.

Perhaps Pre-Graduation-Nostalgia is beginning to hit me. There are times I look around and think, how can I ever leave this, these walkways, these buildings, these people. I think, wow, how in the world did time ever go so fast, that suddenly
I’m finishing college. December is, overall, a pretty strange time to graduate.


But then, I get on the phone with Heidi and we
are being paid to talk to each other about web stuff
which is absolutly amazing, when I think about it. And I talk to my darling
and he is away from me, for only a while, while I finish off this semester, and I realize,
that last summer was absolutely golden, being both near him, and her, and working at a most incredible and exciting place. And I think, How could I possibly stay here.


There are those here, that I would miss, if I didn’t know I’d be back to visit them where ever they end up.



I’m listening to Diana Krall’s Cd Love Scenes
Have you heard her? This woman is amazing, she has an oh so soothing/sexy low voice. And she sings music in the style I love so much, that jazz/grand band sound. When I first heard her I thought she sounded a lot like Nat King Cole, and low and behold, she’s done a tribute cd, which I also have
, though I don’t know why she looks so pensive on the cover of that one.
So yeah, this kind of music makes me feel all sweet, sexy and romantic. At the very least, it puts me in an incredibly good mood. So, go, get some of her crooning into your ears, it’s such a nice thing to do to your ears.

It is late, and I am tired.

But, dear friends, alive and happy.

In the past week, I danced on a stage with japanese dancers, I practiced aikido,
I got a computer desk. I finished my internship project before it was due and registered a new domain(woo)!


Yesterday was Boy’s birthday, we to to Galena and walked through a lot of the unique shops there, talked, in love.

Today I got to lie in a sunbeam for an hour and half for class, tres cool.



Tonight my domain name resolved, ultra quick, yeah!


So this entry is a little fractured, I’ve had a nice long day, and so much to say,
and Dear Heidi wanted me to update.

So, here it is…


I still can’t believe that Wendy is engaged.


hmm.



G’night

Stacie

This is nice, the lab is empty, I’m listening to Ricki Martin (don’t laugh it’s actually pretty good)

‘Cuz you are made of me, and I am made of you’

My schedule is starting to gel. It seems I only need 11 credits this semester to graduate in the winter. It still feels pretty unreal. Today I stood in line for my financial aid for 45 min. That is not something I am going to miss.


I think, more likely, I will miss nice quiet moments like this, where I can be away from everything, but be connected. Feeling focus and calm. It’s like a waking nap.


Sarah’s wedding was last weekend, over Labor day weekend, it was quite a drive to see her(8 hours) and the same for the drive back, but at least I got to ride around in the back seat of our van, and read. Well, and she got married, it was kinda strange, I mean it was like most weddings I guess, but there was a lot of family chaos. Family members excluded, hurt, ect. And my uncle(her father) got pretty blitzed at the reception.(is that too different).


But as far as weddings go, it didn’t touch me, I wasn’t moved. Odd. Especially considering that I was more touched by the weddings of Carlo’s best friends (practically strangers to me) than her wedding.


I think this semester is going to be pretty nice. Hopefully relaxing and fufilling, I want to do well in my classes, I don’t think that’ll be too hard.


Boy’s grandfather died last weekend. Poor guy, I know how that feels, he’s with his family all week. I just wish it wasn’t so far away, I want to comfort him. I never want the ones I love to hurt.



Well, that’s enough for today. I think I’ll go for a walk with Tony and have a nice relaxing night. Aikido doesn’t start until next monday…I’d better find some pants to practice in. (lost mine this summer)
