"all that summertime I revolved around your eye"

for the stalkers in the audience, and because it made me very happy to type this up.

(I welcome any and all suggestions/additions.)

Things to look forward (including the obvious looking forward to each and every friday, because that means i get to see light)

tomorrow - six months of being an exsmoker, no lapses whatsoever.
4/16 - go to maine
4/17 - get a tattoo
4/22 - oral surgery finally over and done with, can start recovering
5/1 - beltane, in maine if i'm lucky
5/8 - EFO at Berkshire Museum (if we can find it)
5/15 - Susan Werner (if i'm not in Chelmsford, helping him pack)
6/1 light moves in
around 6/24, i meet junkyard

Things on the to do before i move list

MassMOCA again
Look Park
dinosaur tracks
butterfly museum
Chesterfield gorge

Things to do, one way or another
Mystic Aquarium again (or Stowe, i have equally fond memories of Stowe)
purgatory chasm
a proper picnic
get light a tattoo
finding a shelter so i can go play with kittens
all the silly summer movies i can handle

a gazillion folk festivals and showering light with all the love i have in me, which is a great, great deal.

it's going to be a damn fine life. and i'm just looking at the next three months of it. imagine how much better it can get from there.

"and now the world is saved / from lipstick, boobs and babes"

Cherished makes me very, very happy. conversation is literally without effort, even when i stumble over my phrasing, it's never because i don't want to say what comes next, or i'm uncomfortable saying, it's only that i really really want to communicate it. and again i forgot, "i win" doesn't make sense to everyone, and instead of how it's meant (when i say "i win" i mean on the whiteboard tally of life vs me, i've managed to snatch another point on my side) they think i'm competing with them.

my cats are fighting. it's adorable.

the west african stew (read: butternut squash soup with brown rice and veggies) at Haymarket is fantastic.

i saw eternal sunshine of the spotless mind with Vintage yesterday and was amazed. i haven't felt that good leaving a movie since Adaptation.

i literally cannot get light's STBF (i'm teaching myself to stop referring to her as wife, the only reason i've been doing that is a bizarre sort of self-flagellation) out of my mind. i don't want to think about her anymore, i don't want to compare myself unfavorably with her over and over again. i am th eone with him now, that's all i need, and it's not like poking sore spots results in anything but pain, and if unlucky, slower healing. i know the answer, each time i poke. "yep, still hurts." and the present's so much more interesting than contemplating this.

so, on that note, i think i'll pass out.
