"When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep"

Hadn't stepped out of my air conditioned room but to take a pee and I'm quite content here in my messy room. I have animal crackers and raisinettes by the bucket in here, as well as a few bottles of water, so I think I'll be O.K. till the next time nature calls.

You see, the A.C. in my house is busted. This also means that the heater was busted in the winter...stupid sexy central air isn't so sexy anymore.

So by nightfall, we attempted to give the outdoor film festival a whirl. It was nice except for the part where there were thirty-thousand people there, as well as mosquitos for ALL of us!! The featured film was Annie Hall, a Woody Allen film. It was pretty funny, what we heard of it anyway.

Since we couldn't see jack, we got up and walked to millenium park. It was nice to go there. Edgar and I had our first date there approximately a month ago. We went back to the little fountain where we made our wishes, and figured since our first wishes came true when we used nickels, we'd try our luck again, this time with quarters!

There is a child-like essence in the act of wish-making. I thoroughly enjoy it. I like sharing things like that with Edgar, I like making memories as innocent as those with him. I'm not even thinking of him as my boyfriend as I write this. I like that he and I are fostering a profound connection rooted in respect. I forget how hard it is to maintain a relationship. It does take work. Friendships, familial ties, romantic relationships...they all require a critical amount of attention and effort. I can sit here and say that I love my friends, family, and Edgar, but I can only prove that to them and myself (in the most effective manner) at moments when the going is tough. There's a lot of pride stirring around many relationships that makes it almost impossible to be close to somebody. This, coupled with miscommunication, makes for very dismal, bleak connections with other people. I'm trying to be done with all of that.

Lizzle started bartending school and I am very proud of her actually!! I think she'll be in all her glory mixin and shakin and of course chuggin on the sly. Can't wait for you to make me a vodka gimlet! (I like em limey!)

Thanks for a nice evening out, friends (and bf). :)
