Listened to Stacy's church service today on a CD. It was beautiful. It reminded me of when I was about ten and we used to attend Grace Methodist Church right by my house. It was a small church. I was supposed to carry palms on Palm Sunday and we all completely forgot. I remember rushing to the church and they handed me a palm frond to keep as a souvenir, but I'm pretty sure we just threw it away.
Those were the days of the Rat Boy. What was his name? It was a girl's name, and he rode with his rat on the back of his skateboard. My mom let us get rats after seeing and playing with his, but we made sure we got women rats because the man rat always had his testicles hanging down and scraping on the ground. We thought that looked uncomfortable. I remember also the day when all of a sudden I didn't want to hang out with Rat Boy anymore- and he came to my front door and I told him no.
(I feel guilty having each blog have more than one subject, like somehow I'm being rude)
Things that have recently been chasing me:
cars without headlights on:
-twice in Los Angeles (I can't write L.A. or la or los angeles. It has to be Los Angeles.)
--once while driving back from Krister's show
--once while driving alone somewhere else
-today when it was raining and someone was behind me with no lights on. everyone
else had their lights on, but not this guy, and he stood out. he was a big blank square
in the midst of lighted clouds of rain.
weird rain
-last night when I was going to sleep. Everything was quiet in the house, Tim had been
asleep for a long time and I had been up playing Snood Towers (my life is over, by
the way, Snood Towers rocks). I was in bed, thinking about how glad I was that I
managed to get ready for bed without picking, and suddenly it started raining really
hard. Not just a light pattering, or even regular hard rain. It was intense, hail-sounding
rain. It only lasted for maybe three minutes. I haven't enjoyed anything as perfectly
as I enjoyed the rain last night. I felt so calm and happy, warm, literally content.
-today when I was driving to work. It was perfect out, blue blue skies and big white
clouds, 73 degrees on the ol' thermometer. I could see the rain, it was like in a
cartoon when the storm cloud hovers over one person and just rains on them.
I could see it as I drove into it: really sporadic and splattery rain, clouds of rain instead
of sheets, shooting out from under the tires of the people in front of me.
