So.
I am not sure what, exactly, my room does while I’m gone, but sometimes when I get home it’s pretty messy.
I will have to look into that.
Tonight a friend invited me to a drawing party. I very excitedly arrived, couldn’t find him, and then very shyly decided to step outside and wait for him, so as not to enter a room full of drawing artists without knowing a soul.
Although, if you had to choose between a room full of drawing artist strangers and a room full of, say, wrestling strangers–I’d say go with the artists. I’d say that every time.
But the night quickly turned from evening to midnight. That’s the kind of thing that happens when you laugh and talk and end up drawing a scene that is entitled ‘How the Finch Stole Fall.’
See, it all started when we were discussing this season’s power to mesmerize us and then Justin said that fall was so fleeting, that it was OVER NEXT WEEK! I capitalized those last three words cause he said it that way, with the finality of a judge who has deemed someone GUILTY. I started laughing and asked him if he was gonna walk around with a vacuum cleaner, sucking up all the leaves until fall was truly OVER NEXT WEEK! And then we kept elaborating, Andrew and Justin and I, until we were laughing so hard and feeling sorry for those leaves who never stood a chance against justin’s Fall Ending Machine.
And then we drew it. Well, Andrew oversaw it. But he let me draw the leaves. It was wonderful.
And then it was midnight.
And now it is even later.
And I get to go horseback riding in the morning! The last time I did this, I almost died, so the bar is set pretty low in terms of what I deem a success. Anything involving horses that doesn’t involve a near-death experience gets put down as rad in my book.
Looking forward to a totally rad morning. And I’m grateful I’m going now, since, you know–fall is OVER NEXT WEEK!

I talked to a friend for a long time tonight. We were under a dark and star-studded sky. A September sky, not hot at all; because August and all her summery ways have packed up her things and moved down south, just like she does every year. And at least she does it, you know. [...]

Two days off. Three pretty leaves. Looks like Asheville. Famous for fall. Where I’m going. He’s going too. For a wedding. Betsy and Todd’s. Sounds real nice.
